New "GPS Support"
with maps!

If you are using GPS enabled devices, SurveyToGo will automatically and intelligently read the surveyor GPS position and will save it along with the survey data. You don't have to do anything on the PDA. To view the GPS position of the survey, login to the Survey Manager, locate the relevant survey, then right click and select Operations Console, then double click on one of the results on the gird and select the map tab:

New "PC Surveyor"

We added a new PC Surveyor application designed for running surveys on laptops and desktop PC's. The application is almost 100% compatible to the PDA application and you can use any PDA survey on the PC Surveyor as well!
To install the PC Surveyor, open the Designer and click Tools > Install PC Surveyor (or visit our downloads page)

New easier attachments support!

It used to be difficult to add an attachment to a question so that the attachment will be shown on the PDA when the question appears. We've improved it and now you just click the "Question Attachments" link on the advanced tab of the question and that's it! 

Viewing attachments through the Operation Console

We improved the support for multiple attachments per survey on the Operations Console in terms of speed and usability. We've also added support for all available attachment types (Movies, pictures, signatures, sounds and more)

New Command Line Exporter

You can now export the survey results from a command line utility instead of using the Designer or the Survey Manager. This is a great tool for integration of SurveyToGo to other systems. Go to our downloads page in order to download the latest version! 

Support for common attachment formats on the PDA!

We now support showing non-picture attachments on the PDA, for example: Movies, Sounds, Excel files, Word documents etc.. 

Miscellaneous

Improvements to subject stores mechanism, exporting of GPS location, Export of Subject Data (for integration), Export of child surveys, Custom actions support on the PDA, List source support for advanced "filtered list" questions, etc..

"Survey Modes"
[Draft/Test/Production]
concept

Your survey starts off in draft mode, which means the survey is not synchronized to your device. Once you are done designing the survey and you want to be able to synchronize the survey to the PDA you will need to change the survey mode to either Test or Production mode.

New "Word Exporter"

We added a new Microsoft Word exporter that enables you to export the survey results directly to Microsoft Word. Each exported document gets a formatted cover page and each survey result is displayed in its own page:

PDA Landscape, VGA and Square screen support

SurveyToGo PDA now supports all the available Windows Mobile resolutions and orientations: Landscape, Square and VGA modes.

New "Operations" screen in the Survey Manager

A new "Operations" screen that gives you a clear "Who did what when" overview of your survey. To see it, just right click the relevant survey and choose "Operation Console":

Double click any survey result to view it's contents:

Exporting survey results directly from the Survey Manager

You can now export the survey results directly from the Survey Manager application:
