You can add one or more Waves to a Survey Campaign.

What is a Wave?

• A wave is a type of label that is applied to a specific set of survey responses

• Typically waves are

  • Baseline

  • Midline

  • Endline

• Waves are useful when doing a longitudinal survey where you want to collect responses from the same people at different points in time

Why use Waves?

The benefits of using Waves are that you can

• Use the same Survey for each point in time that the survey needs to be completed

• Customise the wording of your survey at each point in time it is completed

• Quickly analyse your responses from a single point in time, e.g. look at all the Baseline responses in one go

2 types of Wave

• Exclusive waves are used on a single project

• Shared waves can be used across several projects
