    Question labels can be created after the survey end date.

    Step 4: Leaps, Test and Data Security (GDPR)

    Test the survey

    After you've created your questions, you can test the survey as a respondent. Go to the overview, click on your survey, and select Test.

    Then you view the questions as a respondent, but your answers will not be saved. Tests are important, especially questions including Leaps, to ensure a correct leapsetting.

    Data security (GDPR)

    Survey deletion and reminder after survey end date

    To secure user data in compliance with the GDPR regulation, defgo assists with a number of functions to secure user data.

    As an owner of a created survey, after six months you'll receive a reminder for the ending of the survey implementation.

    To comply with EU GDPR regulation, we encourage you to delete the survey after six months, if the answers contain personal informations from the respondents.

    Exclude personal informations in answer export

    If you created a panel while creating your survey, you can exclude the first two columns from the panel, e-mail, personal-id, phone-number (first column kolonne) and name (second column), for your export of answers.

    This function is activated by default. To include the first two columns, de-enable the function by clicking the check-box.

    To view settings for answer export, click on your survey and select Answers, and Export answers and then export format. Click on Next and Settings.

    Leaps

    Leaps automatically ensures that you only asks the respondent relevant questions. Leaps creates a path throughout the survey, asking different segments different questions. For each question and each answer option, a leap forward can be created.

    Click on the survey and select Leaps. Select the question in the dropdown list, from which a leap can be made and click Add leap

    The leap is now visible on the list of leaps.

    It is a good idea to activate the You have to answer function for all questions with leaps. If the respondent doesn't answer a question with leap, he/she will continue to the next question and the leap will be ignored.

    Remember, if you change the order and add or delete questions after creating a leap. The leap will still be in function.

    Use AND or OR Conditions to create leaps when multiple answer options leaps to same question in this example.

    Example:

    In question 6 all respondents answering Below my expectations or Deeply under my expecations leads to an open question.

    Click to leaps and select question 6 in the overview and click Add leap.

    Choose the answer option Below my expectations and click OK.

    In the list of leaps: click on the leap (the leap should be highlightedt) and then click Modify .

    Choose the answer option Deeply below my expectations and OR definition, and click OK. The leap has been created and respondentens answering Below my expectations or Deeply under my expectations are lead to question 10.

    Regardless of reply is used to lead all answer options to the same question. E.g. in combination with a free text question.

    In this example all respondents answering question x, leaps to question y

    Select your question x in the overview and click Add leap.

    Choose Regardless of reply and the question respondents will leap to and click OK.

    The leap has been created and respondents answering question x leaps forward to question y.

    In the overview a code has been created: X=* GOTO Y

    In free text questions Regardless of reply is the only leap option.

    In the list of leaps, the leap to the first expression rules.

    The list is evaluated from top down:

    • (6=1 or 6=2) GOTO 11
    • 6=3 GOTO 12
    • (6=4 or 6=5) GOTO 10

    OR binds stronger than AND, hence the expression
    ”1=1 AND 1=2 OR 1=3 OR 1=4 AND 1=5 GOTO 3” is interpreted as ”1=1 AND (1=2 OR 1=3 OR 1=4) AND 1=5 GOTO 3”

    The evaluation order for leaps can be used for leaps in multiple answers questions.

    Create a Multiscale Matrix question with two or more scales and insert leaps in List of leaps.

    Then select Choose answer alternative for the selected question, Choose scale and then Choose scale alternative for the selected question.

    Leaps in Multiscale Matrix questions looks like this in the List of leaps field:

    6=1_2/5 GOTO 8

    The leaps is read:
    "6" = question number;
    "1" = answer option,
    "2" = scale choose
    and "5" = answer option for the selected scale:

    If the respondent answers 1 to question number 6 on scale number 2, and selects answer option 5 on the selected scale, leaps the respondent to question 8.

    Go to List of leaps. Click Attach panel. Choose between any panel from any folder. Click OK. The survey then will be attached a single panel.

    Select a question or [background] information in the dropdown-menu and click OK.

    Then click Add leap to define leaps for background information.

    The Wizard contains your settings and you can add AND or OR operators according to your condition by selecting the leap and clicking Modify. Also, you can Remove leaps or move them up or down on the list.

    E.g.: [Background] Name=Navn Navnesen GOTO 24 In this example all included in the panel Navn Navnesen will go to the question 24.

    It is not possible to edit the panel or leaps after sending out the survey.

    Create and edit leaps in defgo manually by clicking Advanced edit.

    E.g.: 1=4 GOTO 6:

    • 1 – question number,
    • 4 – answer option,
    • 6 – question number leaped to.

    The survey end date is changed to the time of your action. Please notice that respondents who are taking your survey at the same moment, can finish their reply after this given moment.

    Go to Settings for Mode of conduct.

    All communication to the respondent is sent encrypted by default. (128 bit SSL encryption).

    Click on your survey and select Auto-reply.

    Auto-reply facilitates rapid feedback from respondents immediately after finishing a survey.

    Messages is sent by email or phonetexts. You decide which questions to be included in the email. Auto-reply is sent directly to respondents as well as other recipients.

    In auto-reply you can define conditions based on answers, similar to the leap function.

    Create auto-reply based on these five steps:

    • Choose type of Auto-reply: Email or SMS.
    • Choose recipient(s) for your messages and choose between respondents or other recipients.
    • Combine the text for the message.
    • Choose the questions for which respondents answers are inserted by the system
    • Define conditions for shipment (such as Leaps).

    You can't use auto-reply if the survey is implemented anonymously.

    1) Choose type of Auto-reply: Email or SMS

    In order to send auto-replies to respondents, they have to type their phone numbers (as form questions of the texttype, as free text questions, or as a background variable of the freetexttype).

    Adding a statusline (user-ID, survey-ID, session-ID) is deactived by default for SMS-recipients.

    Remember that at ovenstående funktion kræver tilkøb af SMS-modul !

    2) Choose the message recipient(s)

    Choose between two different types of recipients:

    • Recipient address retrieved from respondent answers or from backgrounddata
    • Fixed e-mail address(es) Type the recipients valid email address. The email will be visible in the field just below. If multiple email addresses, separate these by semicolon.

    3) Compose the text to be sent out

    Choose the letter format. For example Text or html.

    a. Press Insert answer(s), and select questions for which answers are to be inserted.

    b. Compose lettertext.

    Insert the mail headline. You can insert a formula from the panel background data in From and To fields.

    Values [xxx] are being exchange with actual data from the panel backgrounddata.

    4) Set conditions for shipment betingelser for sending the message

    Click Change condition. A new wizard opens. Select question and answer options for the selected question.

    Click Add to define the conditions. A new message will be sent, if the condition set is true.

    Click Save. Click Save as new, if you want the condition to be a new auto-reply: It will be listed at Existing auto-replies.

    Press Finish to close the wizard.

    Click on your survey and select Language versions.

    Go throught the list of available language versions, and select the new language by clicking the green arrow.

    The list of selected languages has now changed included with your choice.

    Select main language in the list of Main language. The survey is by default using the main language. If the respondent should choose between multiple languages, then click here for more information.

    Shift between languages by clicking the Up and Down arrows. Remove languages from the list of Selected languages back to the list of available languages by clicking the Delete icon.

    Click on your survey and select Language versions.

    1. Click the tab Survey translations.
    2. Select language from the dropdown-menuLanguage.
    3. Doubleclick the question to open for translation.
    4. Type the translation of question- and answer options in the fields.

    Click Save to save changes.

    Click on your survey and select Language versions. Click the tab Implementation which presents three options:

    1. Only use the main language. Select this option, for use of main language only. Other languages are not available.
    2. Let the respondent select which survey language to use. Respondents kan choose the survey language on first Select language page.
    3. Select the survey language automatically from panel. In the panel you can add a background variable named: language
      The values are e.g.: ita or fre

    Click Save to save changes.

    In the background data for the panel, there should be a variable for the column Language. The values should be similar to eng, da, rus, etc., all depending on the user data.

    If the survey is sent out via panel, and missing a background variable for language, then the respondent automatically will be asked to choose language before answering the survey.

    Language versions

    The function Language versions makes it possible to work together in translations. In the defgo system as well via an extern link.

    Click your survey and select Language versions. Click the tab Extern translation.

    Check the field next to the visible language and click Save. Hover the field with your mouse and a link is created. Insert the link in your browser and translation from the new page.

    Translators without access to a defgo account can translate the survey by clicking the link, or inserting the link in a browser. Translate questions and answer options and click Save to save any changes in the translation.

    Dialogboxes for Language versions

    To improve coordination of the work with translations, we added new dialog boxes for Language versions.

    When a link for external translation is opened, and the defgo user opens Language versions, the user will see a text in the bottom of the screen;

    "NOTICE!
    External translations for languages ('languages'), ('language') are opened now."

    If the defgo user edits any texts and clicks Save in Language versions, the translator working simultaneously via an external link will see a dialogbox:

    Translation of all languages is updated.
    Press "Update" to load new translation or "Cancel" if you are working in external translation to keep all your changes saved and continue.

    NOTICE!
    If you press ”Update” in external translation, all your changes will be lost.

    If the external translator edits texts via link and clicks Save, the defgo-user will see this dialog box:

    Translation of language "Language" is updated.
    Press "Update" to load new translation or "Cancel" if you are working in external translation
    to keep all your changes saved and continue.
    NOTICE!
    If you press "Update" in external translation, all your changes will be lost.
    .

    In any case the defgo user doesn't accept texts from the external translator and leaves Language versions –
    the translation from the external link will be lost and without any possibility of being re-created.

    If you want to send surveys from your own email address (example@company.com),
    you might experience blocking of your email based on your internet domain (company.com) which stops or prevents sending out emails from third party systems.

    These problems can be solved:

    Options

    1. Send out from your own mailserver
      defgo can use your SMTP-mailserver to send out emails – contact our support to enable this function

      You need these informations:
      SMTP mailservers address and port
      Login
      Password
      Informations which You can retrieve from your IT-department.
      If your mailserver has access control by IP-filtration (whitelisting), the IT-department should allow access from defgos IP: 213.174.66.68.
      defgo sends out with approx. 50 emails per minute for each broadcast. If you use several simultaneous broadcasts (distributed over one or more users), this number can be multiplied (50 emails per minute per broadcast).
      Your mail server must therefore not block mails sent faster than this by, for example, having restrictions on "message rate limiting" / "message throttling" (or at least having the values for these so high that they exceed your needs).

    2. Approve defgo as sender to your domain via a SPF-record, DKIM and DMARC
      Ask your IT-department to set up your domain (company.com) with the correct SPF records

      In this way the defgo mailserver is white-listed and can be approved as sender.

    3. To send email with example@company.com as sender, You must add:
      include:spf.defgo.com to your SPF-record.

      If your SPF record looks something similiar to this:

      v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all
      Then after the addition to the record, the record should look like this:
      v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:spf.defgo.com -all

      Alternatively, (to avoid DNS-calls) write the list in full, only for IP-addresses:
      ip4:185.163.189.13 ip4:185.163.189.17

      Type your domain to look up whether your SPF record includes the defgo SPF record.
      Domain:
      You can test the SPF-setup for your domain with various online tools, e.g. MXToolBox.

      DKIM
      If you need to set up DKIM for defgo on your domain, contact defgo support at support@defgo.com to recieve a DKIM record that your IT department can place in your domain's DNS setup.

      DMARC
      In addition, it is always a good idea to have a DMARC record for your domain, and from major mail recipients such as Gmail and Yahoo this is a requirement. If you do not have a DMARC record already, you can add one as a TXT record, for example: _dmarc.company.com (replace company.com with your domain)

      v=DMARC1; p=none; sp=none; adkim=r; aspf=r; rua=mailto:info@company.com; ruf=mailto:info@company.com; fo=0; pct=100; ri=86400
      You can test the DMARC-setup for your domain with various online tools, e.g. fx MXToolBox.

      Anti-spoofing
      Please note. If your IT administrator has set a reception-block (anti-spoof) for mails sent from an extern mailserver, and the sender address is similar to your own domain (e.g. example@company.com). Then, the IT manager must whitelist the defgo mailservers: 185.163.189.13, 185.163.189.17

    4. Send from info@defgo.com - which does not involve any action from your IT-department

      Insert info@defgo.com as Email-address for sender and then insert your own email (e.g. example@company.dk) as Name for sender and as Email-address for recipient address.


      In this way the survey is in fact being sent from info@defgo.com but will appear as being sent from example@company.com

    Block any sending of survey invitations to the same recipients with identical informations.

    In this case the respondent, for which data randomly was repeated in the panel, will not receive the invitation letter once again, within the time period of survey implementation.

    To enable the function set the time period for number of days more than 0, in the Implementation pop-up for survey start- and enddate

    Prevent invitations to same recipient within this number of days (0 = no limit).

    IMPLEMENTATION METHODS

    If you send out your survey via pop-up, a new window with the survey will automatically open. The pop-up survey can be places on a website, and appear when the visitor entries the website, or leaves the website. Pop-up surveys are among other thins used for website evaluations.

    The pop-up function can also be activated by certain actions at the website, e.g. when a visitior clicks a menu item.

    Contact defgo support for free support and placing your survey on a website with the pop-up function.

    Email without respondent number is useful whenever respondent information is not needed.

    The survey can include questions identifying the respondent by name, address etc.

    This mode of conduct do not limit the number of answers each respondent can finish the survey – see more at Send out via panel if you want a limit.

    After you've chosen mode of conduct, start and enddate for the survey. Copy the survey link in the next window to your browser url. The survey opens in a standard survey page.

    We also offer the service of a custom startpage, designed to fit your needs.

    defgo also services our clients with design of the survey layout CSS.

    Contact defgo support for more information.

    Remember that automatic reminder procedure is unavailable if the survey is send out without respondent numbers.

    Instead deside to send out Via panel.

    Just insert a link or button at the website from which respondents will answer the survey.

    The website can be your own, or a newly created site for your purposes.

    Select mode of conduct, start- and enddate for the survey. Click next and copy the link code, to insert at your own website.

    Send out your survey to an existing panel. Create an email, with your own emailtext, and with an automatic link recipients can click to open the survey.

    Every panel recipient receives an email with a survey invitation. Subsequently, send a reminder to recipients who didn't answer.

    First time you send out the survey, you can send to all respondents, or send to one or multiple respondents based on filter (panel background information).

    In repeating actions for sending out your survey, the above points of action are not possible.

    • Send to all respondents
    • Send to one or multiple respondenter based on filter (panel background information)
    • Send to respondents not yet having answered the survey
    • Send to respondents based on their answers (advanced reminder)
    • Send to edited/new respondents (based on email-address changes in the panel)
    • Send to one or multiple respondents (of your own choosing)

    You can also add a file with all email invitations, and send out reminders to the respondents to fill out the survey

    For a comprehensive introduction, read more about Send out via panel.

    Make your choise and click Next and finish the Wizard.

    After sending out the survey via panel, you'll shortly after receive a status email with information on sent emails, respondents unique user-ids and their email addresses.

    Send out via paper survey gives you the option to print out all the paper surveys you need, via a file on your computer. Insert name and address for the recipients of the survey, if these informations are saved into a panel.

    Answers can be typed in via the data entry module.

    Paper surveys in defgo are generated as PDF-files, opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader, and printed directly from the program.

    You may insert pagebreak after each question, by checking Page break after the following questions and type in question numbers or question ranges separated by commas. All pages will have page numbers.

    If you've created any background information in the panel system, this information for name and addresses can be inserted, so the survey easily can be send with the post to many respondents.

    It is also possible to insert a ready-printed-information guide for answering the survey, and a unique respondent-number. There will be printed one copy for each panel respondent of the selected panel.

    If there are leaps in the survey, then a automatic guiding text will be printed below the question with a leap.

    Example: "Go to question X".

    See a step-to-step guide for sending out with a paper survey

    Implementation via instruction makes it possible to create anonymous logins (login/password) for groups of people.

    A file is created (with a link to the survey, login/password and possible instruction) that can be printed out and handed out to the future respondents (fx this is usually used for courses)

    Step 1: Type instruction text

    The standard text may be modified, just don't delete [login] and [password] fields!

    The text can include a guide to answering the survey and/or other information to the respondent (e.g. deadline for answering the survey).

    Step 2: Specify page settings, number of respondents and group-id

    Choose Page break after each respondent if you want each set of instructions on a A4 page.

    Type Number of respondents and a Group ID (e.g. course- or groupnumber).

    Then select Fileformat in the drop down list. The survey is saved in PDF or RTF(Word) format

    Step 3: Download the PDF-file

    REMEMBER to click Finish for usernames and logins to be saved in the system!

    Go to the Overview page. Download the PDF-file by clicking the link *.pdf

    After typing login and password click Start survey button and the survey will open in a new window. If the respondent is interrupted answering the survey, you can resume the reply by entering the url-address and typing login and password once again.

    GUIDE FOR SURVEY IMPLEMENTATION VIA PANEL, PAPER SURVEY, DIGITAL POST (E-BOKS) AND TASK

    Step 1: Choose respondents

    There are many advantages by implementing a survey sending out to a panel. A panel can be a customer database in relation to a customer analysis - see the section Add panel for more information.

    • Unique user-id: If the survey is sent out via panel, every respondent is assigned a unique user-id. Thus keeping control with people actually answering the survey. With a unique user-id you can ensure only one reply per user-id.
    • Resuming reply: Another advantage by sending out the survey via panel is allowing respondents to resume their replies from the last question they were about to answer. This function is not working if you assign respondents your own unique user-ids.
    • Automatic reminder: To increase percentage of answers in a survey, send out a reminder during impementation of the survey. If the survey is being implemented via panel, the reminder ensures that only respondents who not yet answered will receive the reminder.
    • Advanced reminder Send to respondents based on their answer.
    • Send to edited/new respondents (based on email changes in the panel) It is also possible to add new respondents to a panel while the survey being implemented, or even edit information of existing panelmembers.
      The survey can be sent out again to new/edited respondents. See step 2 in this guide
      Send out to selected respondents in a panel based on background information in the panel without sending the survey to the entire panel.
      Follow procedure for step 1-3. Then select Send to one or multiple respondents based on filter (background information from panel).
    • Send to one or multiple respondents (of your own choice): Useful when it is necessary to re-send the survey to one or multiple respondents.

    Remember to create a panel at Add panel in the Menu to use this mode of conduct.

    You may also add a file of email invitations. The invitations are not being sent, but saved in the project folder. Backgrounddata is then added to the survey.

    When the survey is to be sent out, choose panel and check the field: Add a file with all e-mail invitations – the e-mails are not sent (can be done by external system), but background data is added to survey.

    Click Next and choose between templates for textcontent when you send out your invitation. You can also insert backgrounddata via code such as [department] and [position].

    Step 2: Send reminder, send to edited respondents or to selected respondents

    Send to all respondents is selected as default.

    Send to one or multiple respondents based onfilter

    Choose Send to one or more respondents based on filter (background data from panel). Click Next.

    Select filter criterias based on background data from the panel. It is possible to set up multiple criterias. Only respondents fulfilling all criterias are extracted and will receive the survey. Click Next.

    Then finish the survey implementation wizard and you'll receive a status email with information for sent emails, respondent unique user-IDs and email addresses.

    Send to respondents based on their answers (advanced reminder)

    If you select this function, choose between Send to all respondents in the selected filter or Send to all respondents except for those in the selected filter. Then, choose the filter from each question and answer option.

    On the right side of the wizard, a selected filter preview will present your changes.

    Send to edited/new respondents (based on email changes in the panel)

    You can resend the survey to edited/new respondents, if you make changes in the panel, and wish to re-send the survey to these respondents.

    The number of edited/new respondents, you send out to is visible in the last step of the implementation process.

    Send to one or multiple respondents (of your own choice)

    If you need to re-send a survey to a selected respondent, then select Send to one or more respondents (based on your own choice).

    Select email-addresses from the list (you can use ’Ctrl’-key to select multiple addresses). Click Next. The email is sent to selected recipients, and other panel member will not receive an email.

    Step 3: Email to respondents

    1. Choose your email template or rewrite/create a new email template for usage in the future.
    2. Insert name of sender and codes such as [name] for respondent name and link to the survey [surveylink] etc.
    3. Insert codes [unSubscribeSurvey] to unsubscribe the survey or panel [unSubscribePanel].

    Click Next and finish the send out section.

    Choose between Plain text and HTML. Choose HTML to insert images, fonts and fontsizes.



    It is a good idea to keep the status email with the summary of user-IDs, to control recipients of the survey. This is also useful to filter user-ID.

    Step 1: Choose ready-printed information:

    You can retrieve informations from a panel, and/or select a ready-printed unique respondent number. The number is printed on top of each page next to the survey title.

    • Informations retrieved from panel: Check the field to insert informations from a panel.
    • Ready printed unique respondentnumber: Here is printed the respondent number.
    • Startnumber: Type startnumber here
    • Ready printed group-id: You can add a group-id. Type group-id here.

    Standard startnumber is ’1’, but you can decide which respondentnumber the survey will start with.

    If this survey also will be implemented via panel, then set a startnumber higher than the number of panel participiants (panel id-numbers automatically starts from ’1’).

    Step 2: Select ready printed informations:

    When you insert information from a panel, choose a panel from the drop-down menu. The backgroundinformation saved in the panel system, can be used to insert name and address as header information.

    For example: If you've typed these informations in the panel system, each field (separated by semicolon) has a number in the system:

    Merge surveys with attached panels with the function Merge connected panels into one panel with new ID-numbers of respondents – funktionen.

    • - surveys are merged into a new survey, containing all answers
    • - all paneler attached to the survey implementation will be merged into one new panel.
    • The created survey will be implemented via a new attached panel.

      Surveys merged should fulfil these criterias:

    • - surveys must be identical
    • - panels used for implementing the survey must have identical structure
    • - the number of background names must be identical, and should have the same type of answers (Only one answer Freetext).

    If you've name questions in two or more surveys, the surveys can be merge by question names.

    Questions from both surveys need question labels. The answer options must be identical and in order. See also the section Type question labels.

    When you merge questions or question ranges it is easier to list question ranges by hyphen.

    Click Next, and name the merged survey. Click Finish.

    Create text analysis

    Text analysis converts an open question to a closed question, in order to analyse answer statistics.

    Textanalysis procedure:

    1. Read a reasonable portion of the answers, before dividing answers in categories/groups.
    2. Extract answers to Analysis with a code map
    3. Add questions to be coded
    4. Attach ("code") freetextanswers to defined questions

    You can't create a codemap before the survey has ended, but a few days before, you may create a codemap suggestion.

    Go to the Overview page, click your survey and click Answers.

    Then select the menu item Textanalysis.

    The Textanalysis Wizard opens, and you can choose Add new coded question, or Choose existing coded question.

    Now you can create answer alternatives containing categories of free text answers you created with your codemap.

    You can also create answer options with Only one answer or Multiple answers, because freetext answers may include multiple answers.

    Always create an answer option named "Other" to collect answers not groupable according to the codemap.

    Then click Next, where respondents freetextanswers, respondentno., sourcequestion and targetquestion are visible in a new wizard.

    Code your respondents answers

    Now you can attach answers to defined questions via the Code function.

    Mark the freetextanswer and select Code , and select the closed answer the freetext answer can be attached to.

    You can code multiple questions by selecting questions in the left column and use the search or filter function. Coded / Uncoded in the dropdown menu to find answers uncoded.

    Create Reports

    When the survey is completed the data collected can be extracted to reports in defgo. You may also dig in deeper with your data to test hypotheses and analyse relations between data.

    You may also create a report during survey implementation, without any influence on respondent answers. Click the icon number of answers to the right in the row your survey is places. Or click your survey and choose Add quick report to quickly form an overview of answers.

    Reports can be outputted in Excel, in Word, in PDF, in PowerPoint, in HTML-format and in HTML-Dashboard format. When you start the Analysis module, create advanced reports (optional with special settings) in all of the formats mentioned. Besides of saving reports on your computer, also chose to save reports online in defgo og publish them via a link or in an email or in a website.

    To create a report in defgo, you need a survey with collected data.

    DATA VIEW

    Click Add analysis report and the report wizard opens. The tab Content is activated by default.

    The content of your report is created beforehand as default.

    In the top you can add elements by clicking the + icon.

    For each element you can add Cross tabulation. Click Edit for your element and select the tab Cross tabulation.

    Check the field Cross tabulate question and add the questions for cross tabulation in your report. Click OK when you've finished.

    Click Add analysis report , click the tab Settings and select the tab Calculation.

    Mean, Index, Standard Deviance and total – are statistics to be included in the report. For Percantage and Standard Deviance, you can set decimals.

    Mean – weighted average is calculated from the formula:

    n – the total number of respondents answering the question:

    • m – the total number of answer options
    • count[i] – number of respondents who answered the correct answer option
    • weight[i] – weight of the current answer option

    Example.

    Let's create a new survey including a Matrix Question:

    We will set up three different weights and calculate Mean for each answer option.

    We go to Settings for Matrix question:

    As shown in the picture, we set 3 conditions for each question:

    • Start value – weight of the first value on the scale
    • Increase – the weight will increase for each step.
    • Direction – to which direction the weight for each step will increase.

    For the first answer option we will keep the settings without any changes (1.1.). For the second answer option, we've changed the settings as shown in the image (1.2).

    Now we can see how the calculation is changing based on different settings for the Matrix question. We save our changes and create a survey.

    1.1.

    1.2.

    With answers the report will look like this:

    Let us calculate the mean for each of the answer options. At first we look at the first answer option.

    We calculate mean for each of the answers. In the setting for the question of this answer option is indicated a start value and a growth corresponding to 1. Because the direction is set from left to right, the weight of the answers will look like this:

    Scale value Very happy smiley Happy smiley Neutral smiley Unhappy smiley Very unhappy smiley Don't know
    Number of answers 1 1 0 2 0 1
    Weight 1 2 3 4 5 -

    As the table show the weight of the answers to the first value of the scale ("Completely Disagree") corresponds to the original value. Which means one for each subsequent scalevalue increases with an interval (1). The increase passes from left to right, according to the setting provided in the "direction"-field. Let us double the number of answers for their weight and sum up the numbers:

    Sum = (1*1 + 1*2 + 0*3 + 1*4) = 11

    Let us calculate the number of respondents who answered the question. By calculating the mean, we do not consider respondents answering Don't know. Now we have, Basis = 5-1 = 4

    And we calculate mean:

    The mean is= 11/4 = 2,75

    Now we look at the other answer option. The answers are:

    Scale value Very happy smiley Happy smiley Neutral smiley Unhappy smiley Very unhappy smiley Don't know
    Number of answers 0 1 2 0 1 1
    Weight 10 8 6 4 2 -

    Let us double the number of answers on their weight and sum up the numbers:

    Then let us calculate the number of respondents having answered the question. By calculating the mean, we do not consider respondents answering Don't know. Then we have, Basis = 5-1 = 4

    And we calculate the mean:

    Mean = 22/4 = 5.50

    By calculating the mean for ”non-matrix” questions, the calculation will provide the same formula, but the settings will always be: Start value = 1

    Growth = 1

    Direction from left to right.

    Notice that you may also include mean from another survey. Check the field Include mean from other survey.

    Click Add analysis report , click the tab Settings and select the tab Calculation.

    Mean, Index, Standard Deviance and total – are statistics to be included in the report.

    Totals – is the number of respondents answering a specific question. For the answer, the choice of one or another answer option is counted, as well as the transition to the next question. In the picture below you can see an example where the number of respondents who answered the question is 3:

    It happens that the respondent can't answer the question during survey implementation. This may happen if you don't have access to answer the question, e.g. if the survey includes leaps. This respondent will not be included in the number of respondents answering the question he/she leaped over.

    Click Add analysis report, click the tab Settings and check the field Absolute numbers.

    Click Add analysis report, click the tab Settings and check the field Percentage.

    You also have settings for:

    • Decimal
    • Include unanswered - To view information about respondents not having answered the question. If you leave the field un-checked, the report will include a row with the number of unanswered surveys.

    Click Add analysis report, click the tab Settings and click the tab Display Text and check the field Include open answers.

    Include open answers shows answers from freetext fields and panel background data.

    The report will include data on the number of respondents answering the survey, and their answers on open questions.

    With this function the report can also show informations on respondents answering an freetext answer, such as name or position.

    Use the dropdown menu Add placed under Include open answers to select which information to add. You can add a unique user-ID or session ID, or panel information used in the survey, and respondent information will be visible in the report.

    Click Add an analysisreport, click the tab Settings and click Report language

    Make sure you've added a report language in Language versions

    Notice that you can also use the main language as report language.

    When you use Language versions you can also add a New language and Report language. The difference between them is, that Report language is a language you only use when creating reports. Respondents will not see a translation to this language when answering the survey. New language is language/translation to a language used for creating reports and answering the survey.

    Click Add analysis report, click the tab Settings and click Report language to set the system language for the analysis report.

    System language makes it possible to choose the language used in the system, e.g. Total and Unanswered.

    Make sure that you've added a report language under Language versions .

    Also notice that you can use main language as report language.

    When you use Language versions you can also add a New language and Report language. The difference between them is, that Report language is a language you only use when creating reports.

    When you add a new panel, you can only use numbers as variable name, if the numbers are in correct order.

    Which means that the number 1 can be used as name for variable number 1 and the number 2 can be used as variable number 2, etc. But the number 2 can not be used as name for variable 1 or variable number 3.

    Correct: Wrong:
    1;2;3;4;5 1;3;7;2;5
    e-mail;2;Company A/S e-mail;Company A/S;2
    1;Email;3;Name Email;1;Name

    Go to Overview page and click Menu and select Add panel.

    You can import data to the panel in two ways.

    1. Upload panel from textfile.
    2. Create panel by typing or copying date into the wizard.
    Upload from textfile
    Prepare data - type them in Excel.



    Save document as a CSV file.

    Select Email-panel. Choose The panel should be uploaded from a text file. Click Next.

    Click Browse and select the file. Click Upload file. Click Next.

    Upload from textfile is faster, an can be recommended for large panels.

    When the file is uploaded this message appears: The file is uploaded and saved. Click Next, name your panel and click Finish.

    If you regret or uploaded the wrong files, you can upload a new file to overwrite the existing file.

    Go to the Overview page and click Menu and select Add panel.

    Select Email panel. Dont check the field The panel should be uploaded from a text file. Click Next.

    Enter names for backgrounddata in the field Names for background data and add new recipients in the field Add new recipients.

    Names for background data are shown as headlines in reports and in questions lists in reports.

    Click Next to validate paneldata, to control the number of background variables and check for duplicates in email-addresses if you check the field Check for duplicates.

    After completion of the wizard click Next, name your panel and click Finish.

    PANELADMINISTRATION

    Go to the Overview page and click on your panel. Select Edit and click Next to edit question types.

    Each background variable in the panel is assigned a unique ID number. The name of each ID-row is retrieved from the names of background variables.

    In this wizard you can choose question type for each background variable in the panel. You can choose between three types of questions:
    Only one answer, Freetext and Question for rounds.

    The default setting for background variables is Only one answer. If the number of values (answer options) for a background variable is more than 200, you should select the question type Freetext.

    For most users it is unnecessary to change the default setting for question type. Freetext should be selected, if paneldata are to be merged later, and Only one answer should be selected, if reports filtered by panel are to be created later.

    Edit background variables for export

    Excel rapporter have different appearances depending on type of questions selected for the panel background variables.

    Send out the survey via e-mail or CATI panel. Select Answer->Export->Excel.

    Go to Overview page and click your created panel. Select Edit and then click Next to edit Question types.

    When you create a panel notice the way you define background variables. The choice is importance in how panel backgrounddata is used when the survey has ended, and data processing begins.

    The first two variables are always defined as freetext (email & name). The subsequent variables have three options: Freetext, Only one answer and Texts for questions with rounds.

    Freetext

    If you define your background variables as freetext, the panel dataset must be coded beforehand, before you can process the data statistically (e.g. filter on selected background variables). This can be achieved by exporting data to e.g. SPSS and code the data. Subsequently you can either continue working in SPSS, or import the dataset into defgo to further data processing.

    Only one answer

    If you define background variables as Only one answer, the answer options are assigned a numerical value, and the data can be processed directly in defgo.

    Texts to survey with rounds

    If you implement a survey including the function Rounds – with rounds attached to one panel, you insert a variable in survey and panel named ROUND. This variable controls the amount of rounds the survey panel will run and which text to be inserted on the position of the variable in each round of the survey.

    When you create a panel and define your background variable as texts to survey via rounds, the variable is written in a parenthesis, with round subjects separated by comma; e.g.:

    Email Name Round
    john.doe@johndoeinc.com John Doe Tuborg, Carlsberg Light

    Because the variable is defined as text, the dataset in the panel is coded, before being analysed and processed statistically. This is the same approach as to Freetext.

    Merge surveys sent out to different panels

    To merge two or multiple identical surveys sent out to different panels. Define the background variables as Freetext an follow the procedure described at Freetext.

    If you defined the panel background variables as Only one answer, in order to process data statistically in defgo, then only merge data sets if the panel background variables are identical and in identical order.

    Go to the Overview page and click your panel. Select Send message and then click Next to send messages or newsletters to your panel recipients.

    Previously sent messages can be used as template, but if you didn't send any messages, type your message by clicking next Next.

    1. E-mail subject text
    2. Type email for sender and reply.
    3. Type message with plain text or HTML-code.

    Do not delete the squared parenthesis, which will delete panel information. Background information can't be inserted in the email teksten (only name).

    The Wizard will show how many respondents you send out to. When you click Finish the system sends an email to each panel recipient. The window automatically closes afsted sending has started.

    Go to the Overview page and click your panel. Select Properties and then click Next to manage panel subscription- and cancellations directly from a website.

    You can use defgo standard URLs to subscription- and cancellation or define your own.

    By clicking the link HTML-code, HTML-code for the subscriptionform is shown.

    The code can be copied into a website.

    The Rounds function is used for evaluating different types of products or things. E.g. different types of chewing gum.

    Surveys for each type of chewing gum is sent to the respondent with few minutes interval.

    This example show that the respondent ¹1 must answer questions for chewing gum ¹111, while respondent ¹2 must answer questions for chewing gum ¹444 in the first round.

    After the respondents spend some time answering the questions, round 2 can be initiated.

    The respondent ¹1 now must answer a question for chewing gum ¹222 and the respondent ¹2 must answer a question for chewing gum ¹555. In the example a round of one set with three chewing gum types is separated by comma.

    In the last round the respondent ¹1 must a question for chewing gum ¹333 and the respondent ¹2 must answer a question for ¹111.

    Implement the survey via rounds

    Create a survey with questions, including the subjects for Rounds.

    When you compose your survey insert the text [ROUND] in your question. defgo will automatically include the variable text/name in the panel for the current round and in the question in the place of the variable.

    Example.

    Continue implementing your survey via panel.

    Send out to all respondents and click “Next”. Depending on how many round variable exists in your panel, choose between x implementation period.

    When the respondents completed all rounds, add a an analysisreport.

    Go to the Overview page and click your panel and choose Overview.

    Now you can edit the emails of panel recipients and other information, and delete recipients.

    Also, search for panel recipients or view statistic for answer and invitations.

    WPA process

    Workplace assessment

    defgo provides a complete and integrated WPA system that easily and quickly enables you to carry out mapping among your employees, analyse the results and create relevant action plans. Everything is done online and it is easy to get started.

    The whole WPA process can be conducted either centrally or decentrally. The working environment group gets an overview over the process by means of shared access to statistics over all action plans.

    The defgo WPA solution is well-documented and thoroughly tested. It is used by both public and private companies.

    Whether you work strategically with your working environment, or you just need to conduct a WPA because it is a legal requirement, the defgo WPA tool is a great help.

    Create Action plan (WPA)

    In defgo it is possible to create action plans for either Working environment or Well-being improvements.

    The problems are identified using a WPA survey and a subsequent data analysis conducted by the working environment group.

    The description of what needs to be done about the certain problem is made as an action plan that outlines who does what and when.

    When the problems are described in defgo with schedules, budgets and responsible persons, follow-up reports can be created. Follow-up reports can be issued by the local working environment representative or by a senior manager in the organisation.

    In this way, working environment problems will be escalated to the right decision-making and competence level.

    defgo WPA tool is very flexible and can be always adapted to the working environment structure of the organisation and follow-up process.The tool provides, among other things, the possibility to make results and progress of the action plans visible in an easy way, drawing statistics across organizations in relation to the various action areas.

    Get started:

    1. Create a survey based on WPA template
    2. Send out the survey
    3. Fill out the form of action plan
    4. Prioritize and follow up

    Quickguide i udvidet panel-administration

    3. Lad respondenterne opdatere egne panel-data
    3.1 Synlige og ikke-synlige felter
    3.2 Erstat blanke felter med tomme
    3.3 Adgang til redigering med [EditPanel]
    4. Oversigt for defgo paneler
    4.1 Rediger og slet respondenter
    4.2 Sortering af data
    4.3 Søgning efter data
    4.4 Ændring af dataview
    4.5 Gem eller slet udvalg
    4.6 Statistik over respondenternes aktivitet

    Til administration af store paneler indeholder defgo en række funktioner:

    • Rekruttering af respondenter via webside. Til dette formål er det muligt i programmet at generere en kode, som kan indsættes på en webside. Koden giver mulighed for at potentielle respondenter angiver deres navn og e-mailadresse, og disse informationer gemmes direkte i et panel.
    • Lad respondenterne opdatere og rette deres panel-data direkte i panelet. Denne mulighed kan gives enten ved at der sendes en meddelelse direkte ud til alle paneldeltagere, eller det kan ske i forbindelse med e-mailinvitationer til en undersøgelse, hvor panelet anvendes.
    • Bestem hvilke panel-felter, der skal være synlige – og dermed opdatér-bare for respondenterne.
    • Søg i panelet på de forskellige felter eller en kombination af dem og slet eller gem søgeresultatet.
    • Redigér den enkelte respondents informationer.
    • Følg de enkelte respondenters aktivitet: hvilke undersøgelser de har været inviteret til, og hvilke de har besvaret. Hermed får undersøger et redskab til at vedligeholde panelet, så det indeholder aktive respondenter.

    Det er muligt at lade respondenter melde sig til et panel direkte fra en webside. Respondenten får dogså mulighed for at framelde sig panelet fra samme kode (framelding fra panel kan også foregår via linket [unSubscribePanel] se s. XX).

    Det foregår ved at du genererer en html-kode, som skal indsættes på den webside, hvorfra til- eller framelding skal foregår. Koden genereres sådan:

    Klik på panelet og vælg Indstillinger fra panelets menu for at åbne dialogboksen.

    Indstillinger åbner følgende dialogboks:

    I dialogboksen genereres html-koden til at lægge ind på websiden ved at klikke på linket HTML kode. I dialogboksens felter vises url-adresser på de standard-svar defgo giver til respondenter, som anvender til- eller framelding fra websiden. Html-koden ser sådan ud:

    Koden sendes videre til en web-ansvarlig, som kan lægge den ind på websiden (For at kopiere koden til clipboard: marker koden og tryk c på tastaturet mens du holder Ctrl-tasten).

    Det er muligt at slette den sidste sekvens i html-koden og hermed undgå, at Frameld-knappen kommer med ved at fjerne koden i den røde markering.

    Ellers kan koden ikke redigeres – f.eks. i forsøg på at give respondenten mulighed for at indtaste flere oplysninger end blot navn og e-mailadresse.

    Sådan ser koden ud på websiden:

    For at indhente flere stamdata fra respondenten, kan man enten sende respondenten en invitation til et særligt spørgeskema til dette, eller man kan sende en meddelelse til respondenterne, hvor de får mulighed for at redigere i deres paneldata.

    Flet-koden [EditPanel] kan bruges i to forskellige sammenhænge: Den kan anvendes i en meddelelse, der sendes ud til et panel; eller den kan anvendes i e-mail-invitationer, når et skema afvikles til et panel. I begge tilfælde vil koden give et link til respondenten, som giver respondenten mulighed for at rette i de oplysninger, der står om vedkommende i panelet.

    3.1 Synlige og ikke-synlige felter

    Du kan bestemme hvilke felter i panelet, respondenten får adgang til at rette. Der kan være felter, du ikke ønsker, at respondenten skal se eller rette i. Ved at indstille dem til at være Invisible, kan du forhindre dette. Standardindstillingen for felterne er Visible (som giver mulighed for redigering fra respondentens side).

    Sådan ændrer du på et panel-felts synlighed:

    Klik på panelet og vælg Rediger fra menuen.

    I redigeringsvinduet klikker du Næste for at komme til dette vindue.

    Her kan du i en drop-down-boksen ud for hvert felt vælge om feltet skal være Visible (synligt) eller Invisible (usynligt) for respondenten. Er de synlige, kan de redigeres af respondenten – er de ikke synlige, er de ikke tilgængelige.

    3.2 Erstat blanke felter med tomme

    En yderligere betingelse for at respondenten kan rette i sine paneldata, når [EditPanel]-linket er modtaget, er, at alle felter findes i panelet. Hvis respondenten er oprettet ved at der til et panel med mange felter er rekrutteret respondenter via kode på en webside, har respondenterne kun de to første felter, e-mailadresse og navn. De øvrige felter i panelet er blanke for respondenten – de eksisterer ikke. Før respondenten får adgang til at indtaste resten af sine oplysninger til et panel, som vedkommende er rekrutteret til fra en webside, er det derfor nødvendigt at tilføje tomme fletværdier i panelet. Det gøres ved at klikke på panelet, vælge Rediger, og tilføje et antal af semikolonner, der svarer til det manglende antal felter:

    I eksemplet her tilføjes fire semikolonner efter hver respondent, fordi felterne Firma, Afdeling, Aldersgruppe og Køn mangler. Nu kan linket [EditPanel] sendes ud via meddelelse til alle i panelet eller via en invitation til en spørgeskemaundersøgelse, og respondenten får adgang til alle felter:

    3.3 Adgang til redigering med [EditPanel]

    Flet-koden [EditPanel] kan indsættes i en e-mailinvitation til en undersøgelse. Respondenten får dermed adgang til at rette i de paneloplysninger, der er om vedkommende i det panel, der benyttes til afviklingen.

    En anden måde at anvende linket, er at sende en meddelelse ud til alle respondenter i et panel. Sådan sender du meddelelsen ud:

    Klik på panelet og vælg punktet Send meddelelse:

    Når du har har trykket næste en gang får du et vindue til opsætning af emailen. Ved at indføje flet-feltet [EditPanel] kan du sørge for at de enkelte respondenter får mulighed for at rette deres oplysninger.

    Når modtager klikker på edit-linket, får han/hun et redigerings-vindue, hvor panel-felterne kan udfyldes eller ændres. Linket kan benyttes flere gange – respondenten kan f.eks. gemme meddelelsen, og åbne den og dermed benytte linket, når panelinformationerne skal rettes.

    Defgo paneler indeholder menupunktet Oversigt, som giver mulighed for administration af panelet.

    Der er mulighed for at sortere og redigere paneldata samt at søge i panelet efter respondenter efter bestemte søgekriterier. Efter søgningen er der er mu-lighed for at gemme et udvalg i et nyt panel, eller at slette det fra panelet.

    Der er også mulighed for at følge de enkelte paneldeltageres aktivitet, og bekvemt at fjerne paneldeltagere, som ikke er aktive nok.

    Sådan åbnes funktionen Oversigt: Klik på panelet og vælg Oversigt fra menuen: Vinduet Oversigt åbnes:


    4.1 Rediger og Slet respondenter

    Rediger- og Slet- ikonerne er placeret til venstre for hver respondent i panelet.

    Klik på Rediger-knappen., for at redigere detaljerne for en respondent:

    For at slette en respondent klikker du på Slet-ikonet til højre for den pågældende respondent.

    Du vil blive bedt om at bekræfte sletningen.

    Respondenten kan selv rette direkte i sine panel-oplysninger, hvis du inviterer dem til at gøre det.

    4.2 Sortering af data

    Klik på en kolonneoverskrift for at sortere panelets indhold efter kolonnen.

    Eksempel: Panelet her sorteres efter kolonnen “Leder”, når du har klikket på overskriften. Læg mærke til pilen, som viser hvilken kolonne, der er sorteret efter:

    4.3 Søgning efter data

    Søg efter respondenter med bestemte værdier ved at udfylde de relevante søge-ord i de blanke felter over kolonnerne og herefter klikke på Søge-ikonet:

    Slet-ikonet bruges til at rydde søgefelterne.

    Eksempel: søg efter respondenter fra Indkomstgruppe 1 : Skriv “1” i Indkomstgruppe og klik på Søg. Søgningen giver resultatet ovenover.

    4.4 Ændring af dataview.

    Nederst i Oversigt kan du indstille hvor mange respondenter du vil se ad gangen. Hvis du f.eks. vil se 5 respondenter ad gangen, indtaster du tallet 5 i feltet Vis pr side, og klikker Vis. I dette tilfælde får du følgende resultat:

    For at bladre fra side til side, bruger du bladre-knapperne under respondent-data:

    Det er vigtigt i forbindelse med søgning, at du indstiller data-view på de poster i panelet, du vil søge på – vil du søge på alle poster i panelet, skal data-view være indstillet til at vise alle poster.

    4.5 Gem eller slet udvalg.

    Ved i Oversigt at bruge søgefelterne under kolonnernes overskrifter, kan du finde en ønsket delmængde af respondenter fra panelet. Et sådant udvalg kan gemmes i et nyt panel eller slettes fra det eksisterende, hvis de først markeres, og man herefter bruger knapperne Gem som og Slet valgte, som befinder sig i bunden af vinduet.

    Når de ønskede respondenter er fundet, skal du markere de respondenter, du ønsker at gemme i eget panel eller som du vil slette. Herefter vælger du knapperne Gem valgte eller Slet valgte for henholdsvis at gemme udvalget eller slette det.

    Ved Gem valgte gemmes de valgte respondenter i et nyt panel – og kommer altså ikke til at erstatte det oprindelige.

    4.6 Statistik over respondenternes aktivitet

    Når man anvender et større panel til mange forskellige undersøgelser, vil der være behov for en bekvem mulighed til at slette paneldeltagere, som ikke er aktive (ikke svarer på spørgeskemaerne). Denne funktion findes i Oversigt, når man klikker på knappen Statistik.

    Hver gang et panel anvendes til afvikling via panel fra et nyt spørgeskema, vil der i Oversigt komme en kolonne ud for respondenterne, som viser om den enkelte paneldeltager har deltaget i undersøgelsen eller ej. Disse kolonner bliver først synlige, når man klikker på Statistik.

    I eksemplet her viser et grønt felt i et skemas kolonne, at pågældende respondent har svaret på skemaet, mens den røde farve indikerer, at respondenten ikke har svaret. Kolonnen Inv. viser hvor mange invitationer respondenten har fået, og Ans. viser hvor mange svar der er afgivet.

    Kolonnen % viser så, hvor mange procent af invitationerne respondenten har svaret. Ud fra denne oversigt er det nemt at markere de respondenter, som ikke har været aktive, og som man evt. har lyst til at fjerne fra panelet.

    PANEL-OPDATERING I DEFGO
    - Quickguide i panel-opdatering i defgo

    1. Generel information

    I defgo systemet kan du opdatere et panel via en ekstern fil der indlæses med et fast tidsinterval, fx hver nat. Filen placeres typisk på en FTP server (eller http). I defgo defineres det hvor filen skal indlæses fra, og hvor ofte.

    Filformatet skal være i ASCII format (text fil) eller en Excel fil.

    1.1 Filplacering af datasourcefilen

    Først opretter du et tomt panel med de ønskede kolonner til baggrundsvariable.

    Derefter klikker du på panelet (venstre musetast), og vælger indstillinger.

    Under indstillinger defineres adressen på FTP serveren og filen der skal indlæses fra (hele stien angives). Under brugernavn og password tastes de specifikke FTP konto oplysninger ind. Dvs. defgo indlæser fra en fast fil hver gang der indlæses. Og opdateringen på FTP serveren skal således ske ved overskrivning af den eksisterende fil.

    Det er vigtigt at den eksterne fil har præcist samme antal kolonner som panelet, ellers indlæses data ikke. Man kan teste indlæsningen via funktionen Opdatér – som vil indlæse data fra filen.

    1.2 Schedulering

    Ved at klikke på Tilføj opgave kan du definere hvor ofte data skal indlæses.

    F.eks. er det muligt at planlægge en opgave for hver time.

    Derefter vælger du Panel under fanebladet Opgave, og tidspunkt under fanebladet Planlægning. Hvis du vil have besked efter hver opdatering, skriver du din mail i fanebladet Notifikation.

    Bemærk: Hvis filen ikke er ændret siden sidste indlæsning genindlæses den ikke.

    Bemærk: Hvis der efterfølgende skal ske udsendelse til de nye paneldeltagere, skal du også schedulere en fast udsendelse ved at oprette en yderligere opgave hvor du vælger Spørgeskema implementering.
