Survey Panel

When you Create a Survey, the collection inspector has a panel where you can specify the questions you want to upload to the Fathom Surveys website.

The Survey panel has two panes. The top pane allows you to create questions and attributes as well as the format for the questions; the bottom pane allows you to add instructions to the survey, and has buttons to upload the survey, view the survey, and download results.

The details of working with surveys can be found in Work with Surveys.

Replace Data on Site checkbox

When checked, the responses on the website are replaced by the cases in the collection. This is especially useful for teachers to clean up student responses and reload data that students can work with.

Upload Survey button

Clicking this button uploads the survey to the website. A dialog box prompts you for your user name and password. The button then becomes inactive and changes to Survey Uploaded, until you make a change to the collection.

Instructions field

Type instructions here that you want the survey respondents to see. You can change these as the survey evolves.

Download Results button

Clicking this button downloads the responses from the website into the collection as cases. You can click repeatedly as more people take the survey to add cases to the collection.

View Survey link

Clicking this link takes you to the survey website.
