New Features:
Upload Files
You can allow users to upload a file to you via a survey. This might be good if they are going to send a word document, or even a graphic. Each user can send one file. To activate this feature, go to the survey builder, and click on one of your surveys. Under the 'text on post-survey page' you will see a checkbox marked 'Upload a File?'. Clicking this will give them the option. To retrieve the file they upload, you will need to go to the survey results, and click on the user number. A link to the file will be at the top of the page.
Re-Edit
If your survey is very long and complicated, you may want your users to be able to come back later to finish the survey. To activate this feature, go to the survey builder, and go to the survey edit page. The box below the 'Upload a File?' is 'Allow re-edits?. If you select this box, it will give the user the opportunity to enter in a password. At the end of the survey, they will be reminded of their password, and be given a usernumber. Both of those are required to re-edit the survey. At the top of a survey that does allow re-edits, there is a link that will take them to a page that prompts for their username and password.
Super Long Text Fields
Some surveys are set up to handle a large amount of text. Also, you may want to give your users the opportunity to use the WYSIWYG editor. This is the time to set the question type to 'Super Long Text'. This will make their answer box a little bigger, and also give them a link to the WYSIWYG editor. If your survey has a Super Long Text question, there will be instructions for the WYSIWYG editor at the top of the screen.
Required Fields
Sometimes you want to require that a user gives you an answer to a question on your survey. You can do this easily- in the survey builder, just select on the question you want to require- then, check the box labeled 'Required'. Now the user cannot submit the survey until they have answered all of your required questions.
If you want to test a survey that contains a Super Long Text field, a file upload, and some required fields, you can go to a test site at: http://groups.ucanr.org/yardtour
On the right hand side of the main menu, there is a survey called 'Required Question Test' please try it out.
