What are longitudinal surveys?

Surveys that ask the same or similar questions to the same or similar people at several points in time are longitudinal.

Create unlimited versions of the same survey

Longitudinal surveys on Makerble use Core Questions

  • Now you no longer need to create separate surveys for each point in time that your survey is completed

  • Instead you only need to create one survey because on Makerble you choose whether to hide, edit or include each question in each wave’s version of the survey

How to do it

Step 1: Create a single survey containing your bank of questions

Pro Tip

  • Your quantitative questions (numerical, multiple choice and checkbox) exist as Metrics that plug into Surveys, Progress Boards, your CRM, Automations and more.

  • So when you name them, use succinct neutral terms such as Confidence to start a business given that you can customise the way they appear when displayed as a Question in each version of your survey.

Step 2: Create a wave for each point in time

Common ones are:

  • Baseline

  • Midline

  • Endline

Step 3: Add those waves to a project’s survey campaign

Dictionary

A survey campaign is a survey on a project

  • If you use the same survey on several projects, add the waves to the survey campaign for each project

Step 4: Customise the survey’s appearance on each wave

This step is optional

  • if you don’t want to hide or edit certain questions for each wave, you can leave them just as they are
