New Emulator application to help in survey design
|
At last! There is no need anymore to deploy the survey to the PDA in order to test
it. SurveyToGo now includes a full blown emulator application that enables you to
test your surveys right from the desktop as if you had a device. Simply click the
"Run in Emulator" button displayed below and you will immediately see the emulator
show up!
You can also manipulate the emulator to change from portrait to landscape to square
screen orientation and other options as well:
|
New PDA installer
|
We have incorporated a brand new PDA installer application that makes the PDA installation
as clean as possible. Just click the "Tools > Install To PDA" menu option in
the Designer to use the new installer.
|
Display "End of survey" messages to surveyors
|
You can now configure a survey to display a message to the surveyor upon finishing
a survey. You can also optionally configure SurveyToGo to display a warning message
to the surveyor if he submits a survey while his device is disconnected from the
network.
|
"Other specify" just got better
|
When choosing that an answer is an "other specify" answer, you can now control whether
the additional text box is a small one, or a larger one and if it should contain
numbers only. You can also specify that the textbox is "inline" which means that
it will be displayed on the same line as the answer:
|
Survey Layout on the PDA
|
SurveyToGo now supports a new "flow-layout" when showing questions on the PDA. Instead
of having a fixed size area for the question text, you can now instruct SurveyToGo
to use as much space as needed to fit the entire question text WITHOUT the small
scroll bar.
|
PDA Buttons
|
SurveyToGo now enables you to control which of buttons are visible for the surveyor
during the survey (yellow notepad, cancel button etc.). A new "Lockdown" setting
has been introduced to allow for kiosk mode.
|
Better "Slow network" support
|
SurveyToGo PDA now supports an improved algorithm to better handle slow networks.
|
Better GPS support
|
A new GPS options screen was added to the PDA to allow for better control of the
GPS.
|
Operations Grid
|
A new "Group By" view mode is now available on the "Operations Console" in the Survey
Manager. This mode allows you to easily group survey results in different "views"
to better control your data:
|
Operations Grid
|
You can now return a survey result to a surveyor, or assign it to a different surveyor.
This feature enables you to check a survey result and if necessary, return it
to the original surveyor for additional work:
|
Operations Grid
|
You can now move from one result to another result simply by clicking the up/down
arrows directly from the observation details screen without the need to close the
window:
|
Assign specific designated users to review surveyor groups
|
You can now assign a surveyor or a surveyor group to a specific SurveyToGo user.
In this mode, once the user opens the operations grid, he will see results only
from his assigned surveyors. This is useful for large organizations where each backoffice
controller is responsible for X amount of surveyors working on the same survey:
|
Survey QA chapter and scores
|
You can now define a chapter as a "QA chapter" which means that the questions of this
chapters will not be shown to the surveyor but rather on the operations console
"QA" tab. This is useful in conjunction with the new "qa score" addition to the
scores mechanism.
|
Surveyor activity
|
You can now easily see when each surveyor did his last sync by right clicking the
surveyor in the Survey Manager application and selecting "View User Syncs"
