Survey details

A published guide from Survanta's public documentation.

Survey details

Tap a survey to see what you are about to work on before you start.

The survey details screen, showing the survey overview with question, section and group counts, presentation mode, response editing policy, and the encrypted device copy status.

Survey overview

The overview summarises the instrument:

  • Questions, Sections, and Groups — the shape of the survey.
  • Presentation — how the survey will be shown to you. See the table below.
  • My Responses — how many responses you have already submitted.
  • Response editing — whether you may change a response after submitting it.
  • Completion — how the survey finishes. Automatic once required answers are complete means you can submit from the app. A survey on a review workflow is saved for review instead.
  • Requires — anything the survey needs, such as a file attachment.

Presentation modes

Mode Behaviour
Question by question One question per screen, with Previous and Next
Section by section One section per screen
Group by group One group per screen
Full survey The whole survey on a single scrolling screen

The device copy

A survey you have opened is stored on the device so you can work without a network. The details screen shows Saved on device and explains that the definition is encrypted for your account on that device.

Two actions are available:

  • Update device copy — fetch the latest published version. Do this when a survey has been republished.
  • Remove from device — delete the local copy. You can download it again later.

Starting

Start survey begins a new response. If you already have a draft, the button reads Continue and takes you back to where you stopped.
