Page display set up
Cxoice can be 'dressed' in a number of ways (see the section on dressing questionnaires for more details). The Page Display tab under Survey Settings allows you to set some basic parameters that affect all the pages of the questionnaire.
Survey title
The Survey Title is shown on all pages, and used in the browser for the tab name. By default it is the same as the Survey Name. However, it is very common for the Survey Title to be different so as not to reveal the client or survey purpose.
Survey style
Cxoice will display questions with tickboxs on the left (which is the common format for internet surveys) followed by the text. However, the traditional research approach for interviewing, where the questionnaire would be read out, is to have tick boxes on the right following the text. Cxoice provides both options
Survey footer
The survey footer is shown at the bottom of the page and can be used to link to or reference a privacy policy or data protection notice. It can include the page number by including %%pageno.
In addition, you can allow page comments for feedback on the survey. Add %%popupcomment and a 'Feedback' button will be added to each page of the questionnaire giving a space and mechanism for participants to report problems, questions or confusions they find as they are going through the questions.
Fixed language
The default language of the survey is English. You can change the language by entering a two-letter language code.
Advanced users can have the Cxoice survey with multiple languages available where the participant sees a default language but can choose the language they want from 'available languages'.
For multi-language projects, we currently recommend setting up a questionnaire for each individual language with the aid of our translation tools. This allows for local variations such as differences in brands or product lists.
The ‘Combined monitor’ allows you to monitor a group of questionnaires – either because of language, or where you are using multiple research panels. In reporting, you can create a Data Extract from multiple surveys at the same time.
Include survey css file
Each survey can have a dedicated CSS file to style and dress the survey. For instance, to adjust font, colour and elements of the display.
In addition, the display of questions can be animated using PrestFlower settings including piano-roll, carousel and fade-out display. Advanced users can use SVG flyovers to give a Prezi-style display of the questions for areas such as customer journeys.
For designers: the survey CSS is used on top of the standard Cxoice stylesheets (ie the last CSS sheet applied), but before any styling from PageBreak questions. Cxoice is designed with a hierarchical semantic HTML layout structure which allows all elements of the HTML to be targeted with cascading CSS selectors, without needing to use style decorators in the HTML.
