You can tailor the wording of a survey question for specific projects.
There are two ways:
Copied Surveys
Personalised Wording using Waves
The way you tailor the question depends on the type of question it is, i.e. whether it is a Field-based question or a Multiple Choice question
If the questions you want to tailor are across both types, you need to use the Copied Surveys way
Types of question to tailor | Way | For the Multiple Choice questions: can Distance Travelled be automatically aggregated and analysed across the projects? |
|---|---|---|
Field based questions only | Copied Surveys | N/A |
Multiple Choice questions only | Personalised Wording using Waves | Yes |
Both Field and Metric based questions | Copied Surveys | No |
Using the Copied Surveys way
For sections and text, date, time or file upload questions
If each project will have its own version of a question, each project will need to have its own copy of the survey.
Add the copied version to the specific project(s) that you want to receive this tailored version of a question
Go to the Manage Fields page and edit the question’s wording for each version of the survey
For Multiple Choice questions
Turn on Edit Mode for the survey
Press Edit next to the Multiple Choice question you want to tailor
A popup launches
Select Only on this survey rather than “All”
In the Name field: adjust the wording of the question and press Save.
But if the wording you want to use for the question is too long. Come up with an abbreviated version of the question name and then follow these steps to add custom wording to this question
Using the Personalised Wording with Waves way
Check that there is at least one Wave on each project that you want to tailor the question for. If there isn’t a Wave, create one. If there isn’t a spare wave, create one. (How to create a Wave)
Go to the Personalised Wording page of the survey and follow the steps in this article which are outlined below:
Select the project you want to tailor the question for
Select the wave you want to save the tailored wording to
Select the question you want to tailor
Choose the Audience you want the tailoring to be applied to (typically this is Respondents or Members of the Public)
Tailor the question for that Audience and press Save to close the popup
