How to publish questionnaire and store answers?

Question

Hello,

I would be very happy if you could list me the different steps to publish my questionnaire for everyone.

I didn't have any issues with creating a pretest, but I'm not sure how to fully publish the questionnaire for everyone now.

Best Regards

I want to leave my survey online for about 3-4 weeks and collect data with it. Which project background do I have to use?

---

The only background that will significantly limit the survey administration period is a "testing project".

---

Is a testing project going to last 3-4 weeks and store answers?

And if not, how much would it be to do to so?

> Is a testing project going to last 3-4 weeks and store answers?

No a testing project is only for testing the software, not for collecting data.

With the background you, by and large, define if you use www.soscisurvey.de for free or if you will have to pay. And this as nothing to do with the features, but with the question, if you are entitled to use www.soscisurvey.de for free.

Am I entitled as a student? If yes, it would be great if you could tell me what I need to change in the settings to publish my questionnaire for free and store the answers.

---

Depends on your project, please read this manual for details:

How can I change the settings into 'free use' as it is only a study for my thesis.

You project is currently registered as test project. Please go to the "project settings" and there click the pen-and-paper symbol next to the project background.

---

Okay thank you I did. I also set the dates until when it should be online.

Can you please tell me where I can find the active link for the public now? And how can you check how many people already participated and filled the survey in?

> Can you please tell me where I can find the active link for the public now?

If you set the time range, than it will be online as of the first date that you specified.

> And how can you check how many people already participated and filled the survey in?

You find the return rate in the "collected data" menu option.

Okay great, but where can I find the survey link to send to people?

So I can download answers while the survey is still online right?

Yes, you can. And you can as often as you like :)

You can also go to "Collected Data" -> "View Data" to take a quick look into the records.

Amazing thank :)

I just checked my data and is there a setting where you can see the which answers have been checked, so basically which words have been checked instead the table just showing 'checked' and not 'checked' ?

---

I also saw that in my data table at the back there is a section with 'time001', 'time002' 'time003' what do these stand for?

---

May I kindly note that there's a great search feature in the manual ;)
