[I did a search and couldn't find this functionality --apologies if it's out there already]

Hi, I have a few surveys already set, with its own scoring, what is the best method to combine them into a single survey? I don’t need to combine the gathered/collected data, just the surveys.

Related to that, a functionality that I would like to see, if we can copy any questions from any surveys into a “library” which user can copy these question(s) over into any other surveys (old or new). This would help in the ongoing survey creation and editing that goes on for us.

Thanks much!

BDS,

Unfortunately the only way to combine old surveys in to a single survey is to do the old copy and paste method. You can also copy an old survey and add questions to it, that may be more useful.

I like your ideas on creating a library. I have added it to our recommendations that our lead developer looks over and considers implementing.

Good luck with your survey!

Hi Dane – Thanks for the quick reply.

We’re working with a lot of surveys and this library functionality is a big necessity. The idea of copying and pasting, and then redoing any scoring since we have to update the Ident, is a big issue.

I hope to see this implemented.

BDS,

Here at SurveyGizmo we work on a democracy basis where the most votes wins. We have not heard too many requests for this so it has not yet reached the top of our priority list.

We do however except bribes, and if this is something that your company needs implemented immediately we can discuss creating it through our Professional Services which charges $150/hr.

If this is something that you are interested in let us know, otherwise we cannot dedicate our time to an issue that more of our users would not be utilizing as well.

Hi Dane – Sounds great, I like a democratic setup.

Is there a monthly survey reflecting the top 10 requests, either from pure frequency or ‘good idea,’ that all users can vote on?

I know this is getting away from the topic, but I’m new and want to best use your service–which, by the way, you guys are great!

Thanks much.

Hi BDS,
We used to have a feature request survey embedded in our Home page. This got out of hand rather quickly as you can guess. We now mail these out, would you like one sent to your email address?

I am a new user and also quickly found myself looking for a quick way to grab a question from another survey. If the ability to create a question library has been implemented I do not see the tool anywhere.

If it has not been implemented I would like to add another request to see if it can float to the top in the democratic process. Thanks.

Hi, Colin.

Welcome to SurveyGizmo!

The question library has not been implemented yet. Your request is duly noted. It will be a feature in Version 2 of SurveyGizmo for sure.

Thanks for your input, Colin!

I just wanted to add that the combining multiple surveys is something that our research group would also be very excited to see implemented.  It would be *extremely* useful to us.

Thanks!

Hello, Mandy!

Thanks for your feedback! Just to elt you know, we've already implemented the ability to make a “Combined Summary Report” – this type of report will combine results from several different surveys that have the same questions and options, just have the survey itself in several different languages.

On the other hand, the ability to create combined reports of multiple non-like surveys is not something we've implemented, but again, we appreciate the feedback and I'll make sure to throw this up on the board ;-)
