New Category of Tutorials: Scripting Samples

Posted by 2 Responses Filed in: How-To Articles

SurveyGizmo offers more advanced point and click functionality and logic than any other tool on the market. There are still customers who push that envelope even farther past the current capabilities. With that audience in mind, Custom Scripting has been available for quite a while now for Pro and above customers. It’s still used by only a small portion of SurveyGizmo customers directly due to a steeper learning curve, but the additional power has been invaluable to those using it. As of today, a new category of tutorials is available: Scripting Samples.

This series reduces the barrier to entry for using Custom Scripting to perform some very powerful tasks that go beyond the already advanced feature set in SurveyGizmo. While it still requires some basic knowledge of concepts such as Question IDs, the scripts are designed to assist users in enabling these features in their account. Custom Scripting is the stop-gap between current features and future features built into SurveyGizmo’s application in the user-friendly way customers have come to expect from the survey tool.

So far there are 3 tutorials available, with the following (unlinked) tutorials coming in the future:

Of course, we will continue to work on tutorials for a broader audience while the development team adds new features to SurveyGizmo However, for the advanced user, this series should provide some useful insight and tools for your survey arsenal.

    I’d really like to see the “Negative Piping (hiding rows in a later table or options in a later question that were NOT selected in a previous checkbox question)” tutorial. I’ve been looking for a way to all users to select a number of options and then have the remaining unchecked options (checkbox questions) removed from a table on the following page. This would be very useful because tables with piped options do not appear within the PDF of a response, at least in v2.

    Hey Wayne, we definitely will be looking towards building that tutorial, but if necessary, our Professional Services team can be hired to take care of it in the interim. We are still updating existing tutorials for SurveyGizmo 3.0 content prior to new tutorials, so thanks for your patience!
