titleWhat are Waves and Respondent Types?

Wave

  • Waves are a way to distinguish different versions of a survey

  • They are often used with pre & post (longitudinal) surveys where you have

    • Baseline

    • Midline

    • Endline

  • These 3 points in time when the survey is completed can be a wave - which means that you can use Makerble to automatically adjust the inclusion and wording of questions based on the wave.

Respondent Type

  • Respondent Types are the types of people who can complete a survey.

  • There are four Respondent Types automatically available on your account:

    • Coworkers (i.e. users who fill in a survey whilst signed-in to Makerble, even though the survey response might be about one of your contacts)

    • Contacts (i.e. people saved in your CRM whom you send a unique survey link to)

    • Members of the Public (i.e. people who complete a survey using a public link that you share)

    • Observers (people whose perspective you want on the performance of one of your contacts. These are used for 360° surveys and when you want to triangulate impact)

  • If you use Relationship Types you will have additional Respondent Types generated for each side of the Relationship.

    • E.g. the Mother & Daughter relationship type will have two Respondent Types

      • Mother (from Mother & Daughter)

      • Daughter (from Mother & Daughter)

    • These additional Relationship Types allow you to further customise your 360° surveys.
