New Features

Card Rating Question

Using a single select form, card rating allows participants to rate (or categorize) elements.  With this question, a participant views cards one at a time and selects one button below to rate them. Once rated, the carousel of cards automatically advances to the next card.

View/Edit Responses Report

The View/Edit Responses report now allows you to easily edit the responses of every participant in a survey.

Survey Builder Functionality

Create Logic Conditions Based on Languages

Note: The language option for defining a logic condition is available only when 1 or more language is added via the language manager.

To create a logic condition based on languages, in the Logic Conditions pop up window select "languages"  from the drop down menu, and then specify the "show if" conditions.

Create Quotas Based on Languages

Note: The language option for defining a quota is available only when 1 or more language is added via the language manager.

To create a quota based on languages, select  "Question Answers (Quick Quotas)" from the dropdown menu and click languages to create the quota cells. Then click "OK."

New Language Support

New language support for Khmer.

Crosstabs Enhancements

Total(Net) Segments

When creating a segment you can select the logic option "Total (Net)" available under "Question Logic."   When you add this segment to a group, it displays the count/percentages of the segments within the group only.  When the Total (Net) is not in a group, the count/percentages is based on all segments in the crosstab (where each segment is joined by Boolean OR). 

Minimum & Maximum Statistics

Numeric and radio/select questions can now include minimum and maximum statistics:

• Minimum: The minimum value given for an answer
• Maximum: The maximum value given for an answer

Has a Value Logic Option

When creating segments based on question logic, "Has a value" is a new option for numeric questions.  When selected, this option excludes empty data fields from the logic (when applicable). Otherwise empty data fields are evaluated to "0" and included in the logic.

Dashboard Capabilities

Display a Pie Chart with Image

You can display images in the center of a pie chart. Additionally, you can specify multiple images within a range and the image will display when the percentage range is met. This allows you to dynamically show/hide images based on a survey variable. 

Center Scatter Plots and Bubble Charts

For scatter plots and bubble charts, you can specify 'scatter.center 1' (on its own line) to center the chart on the x/y axis point 0,0.

Before	After

Add a Prefix or Suffix to a Tooltip

Using chartopt, you can add a prefix or suffix to a tooltip.

chartopt tooltip.valueSuffix " Suffix Test"

Create an Exclusive Local Filter

The keyword argument "Exclusive" is an user interface (UI) setting only.  This setting displays the filters in a filtergroup as mutually exclusive (whether or not they actually are) and allow the user to select at most one. This changes the filter selection to a radio button.

Display a Floating Table Above Column Charts

You can display a floating table above an existing chart that shows the net rows.  You specify this add-on with uses FloatTable.   

Excluding Words in a Word Cloud

You can specify a string of words to exclude from a word cloud using the  cloud.filter option.  The word cloud will not include the list of words that follow this option (space-delimited).  Any letter casing, commas, and single/double quotes in the word list are ignored. However, to filter a word that contains a single-quote, place the word in double-quotes ("that's").

Add a Prefix or Suffix to Data Points

You can now add a prefix and a postfix to data points on tables and charts that use stat="formula" with the following attributes:

• dataprefix - prepends the specified string to datapoints in charts and tables
• dataposfix -  appends the specified string to datapoints in charts and tables

Format Table Formula Values in Currency

You can specify currency as the data format for tables that use stat=formula with the following attributes:

• dataformat currency
• dataprefix $

When using the currency data format, numeric values are output with two decimal places (e.g. 0.00).  Additionally, you can replace the dollar sign prefix ($)  with any money character needed.
