New Features
Image Upload
The new Image Upload dynamic question encourages a more interactive participant experience, allowing users to upload image files to your survey from their desktop or mobile devices. The upload functionality works for both existing image files and new images taken directly on their mobile device.
The new question is available in the Survey Editor and can be added, moved, or removed just like any other survey element:
Similar to the Video Testimonial dynamic question, all participant results from Image Upload can be viewed in Crosstabs with links to view individual responses, download the image, or mark it as a favorite:
Language Selector
The Language Selector dynamic question makes it easier than ever to allow participants a choice in what language they would like to view your survey.
The new question is available in the Survey Editor and can be added, moved, or removed just like any other survey element:
Once added, each uploaded survey language is displayed as an option in the translated version of that language:
Application Translations
The Decipher Portal is taking a world tour! New translations have been added to allow portal users to view some of our most popular tools in several new languages. The following application interfaces are now available in Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Russian, and Portuguese:
Language Manager
Survey Library
Response Summary
Crosstabs
View/Edit Responses
Campaign Manager
CATI Mode
If you or a member of your team would prefer to view these tools in another language, just go to the target user’s account and click on “Edit Profile”:
Then select the preferred interface language from the drop-down menu, and click “Save Changes” at the bottom of the profile screen:
Once your new option is applied, all portal menus and information screens should appear translated in the preferred language for that account.
For more information on creating a new user or setting user preferences within the Portal, see Create and Manage Users.
Reporting
Crosstabs
Row netting functionality has been improved to allow you more control over the display of your Crosstabs tables. Now you can choose how Crosstabs displays and exports nested rows, by showing or hiding any rows you wish:
The export tool will respect the option you have applied to your table. Of course, Crosstabs will still show all rows by default, so no need to make any adjustments if you would prefer to view or share everything at once.
Dashboards
Dashboard display has become even more dynamic with the introduction of scrollable tabs. Now, when a dashboard’s page headers exceed the viewable navigation space, these links are shown as scrollable tabs rather than in a drop-down menu:
If you would prefer to see a drop-down menu, you can add the dashboard code scrollabletabs 0 to return to the original look:
Survey Functionality
Language Manager
Language Manager usability has greatly improved with two more system languages to choose from, and a bundle of added functionality. Azerbaijani and Georgian are now available within the language menu and can be added to any survey:
Translation files can now also be exported/imported in XML format:
The Summary Table has an ‘Identical’ column that lists when imported translation text matches the original text in the survey:
Similarly, the Resource Table now has a new ‘Identical’ filter option that allows you to easily see and/or edit text in translation file that matches original text in the survey:
A quick link has been added to the System Survey Resources page to easily view the default text displayed for a language:
An option to omit blank resource from exported language files has also been added:
