Hello, DC3!

What you'll want to do is click the little notepad and pencil to go into edit your question, and from there, click on “Add/Edit in Bulk”. This will open a large text box that will let you add additional options wherever within your existing options that you want.

We're actually designed specifically the way you've described. Once you're ready, you can upgrade your service for a month, 2 months, 5 or 10, whatever works for you, and when you're finished, downgrade back to the Free plan. We're a monthy subscription, so you can pay for whatever amount of months you need, then get rid of it, you'll still have access to your collected responses, and we won't delete any of your data for at least three years.

Hi DC3,

When you downgrade, your surveys and data will all be there.  You will just loose the functionality of the paid account.  In the future, this may disable surveys that use features of the paid account and/or reports of paid accounts. 

You are correct about the Add/Edit in Bulk.  It works for options. In a table, columns are like options.  Rows in a table are actually individual questions, and we do not currently have the ability to add/edit questions in bulk (just options).

The Show/Hide triggers are available for many question types, but it incompatiable with some of our more complicated questions and text/essay fields.  What type of question were you trying to show/hide from?

Piping is a bit different from Show/Hide and there a few different types.  Let's say you have a checkbox question (multiple selection).  Page piping would repeat a page of questions once for each option chosen.  Question piping would repeat a question once for each option.  Piping can also be used to make the selected options rows or columns in a table.  This can be very useful when wanting to ask only questions that are relevant to the survey taker.  Here is a short video on question piping that might do a better job explaining:

We really appreciate your feedback.  Would you mind if we added the following to our quotes page attributed to you?

I'm very impressed with survey gizmo. You guy really put a lot of work into it and made it very comprehensive.I particularly like the option to insert column headers every X number of rows and small details like that.

I read the tutorial about piping so I see what that is now.

The questions I am trying to use it on are just common short multi-choice ot multi selectrion questions with either checkboxes or radio buttons. I understand it won't work for drop down. I see the other options..'other, fixed,  or group' but not the 'show / hide'

I only see this as an option in my two 'table of multiple choice' questions

aha, that's good to know. I'm going to upgrade to a paid account before I post the survey to add in some other paid account features I like and to enable me to get more responses so I guess I'll start using that feature then. But if you want to upgrade me to a trial – that would be handy.

Thanks,

All the best.
