Ready to launch your survey? Before you do that, remember to go through this checklist:
Testing:
- Test your survey and see that the results look like what you anticipated by checking the results Excel and analysis tool
- Check that your survey looks good and is equally easy to fill in both on desktop and mobile phone
- Hide test results
- If you've made a lot of changes to the questions after the first publication time, it may be worth making a copy of your survey (click 'Copy' from the three-dot menu in the questionnaire card), publish it and use it for the final data collection. This erases the publication history and any test answers. Remember to archive the original survey so that you don't get the old and the new confused!
Images and maps:
- Delete any background images and maps that you don't need in your survey. Make sure that those you want to use are only available for use on the pages you wish to use them on by only ticking those pages in the survey settings.
- Check that all the map and image files that you use in your survey are under 1 MB in size. If you have several files on the same page, we recommend that their combined size should be max. 1 MB.
URL, QR code and social media settings:
- If you'd like to use a customized shortlink and QR code for your survey, please contact support@maptionnaire.com
- Check that you've a title, description and image under Card. These will be shown if the URL of the survey is shared on social media.
Other:
- Check that all the settings under the General tab in your survey are correctly set and that you have chosen a redirect link (otherwise respondents will be directed to new.maptionnaire.com after completing the survey)
- Check that you've written a thank you note (under Style).
- Remember to include in your survey introduction who the respondents should contact if they have questions about the survey.
- If you have several language versions of the survey, check that the main language (under Language) is the one you have drafted the survey in and that the translations are correct
Respondents:
- If you know that respondents will most likely be using the same device to respond to the survey, remember to attach a session reset parameter to the survey URL.
