Project Description

Plone Survey
Project resources

Refactored from CMFQuestions, originally developed by Seb Bacon, sponsored by the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom.

Overview

  PloneSurvey is a simple product written to collect data from people
  - feedback on a course, survey, simple data collection etc.

Installation

  Use the Plone Portal Quickinstaller to install this product.

Usage

  Add a Survey within a plone site, and add questions and sub-surveys within the survey.
  Only published questions will be displayed in the survey form for users.
  The survey is an ordered folder, so question order can be changed within folder contents.
  There are 6 different types of questions that can be added, 'Radio Buttons', 'Selection Box',
  'Text Field', 'Text Area', 'Multiple Selection Box' and 'Check Boxes'. These question types
  correspond to the HTML tag used to display the answer options. For the text input question
  types there are no answer options and so this field should be ignored. Each Question also
  has an optional comment field, there are two different types of Comment Field, 'Text Area'
  or 'Text Field'. Users are given the option of saving and submitting their data.
  Saving means that they can come back later and their answers will be remembered. Once a
  user has submitted their answers will be verified to make sure they gave a response to every
  question and they cannot change their answers.

  The Thank you message text and Saved message text are used when a user completes a survey,
  and the email options determine wether emails are generated for the survey owner.
  You can also set the Questionnaire to open or closed (which changes whether users are able to submit)
  and set whether to allow anonymous users. Anonymous support is done using a cookie __cmfquestions_name
  which stores the users name. This cookie is not persistent and so when the user exits their browser
  and returns their username will not be remembered and they will be able to take the questionnaire again.

  Use the Review results Tab to check the results of the questionnaire. There are 3 different
  spreadsheets which show different degrees of detail and are in html or csv format which can be
  opened in Excel or SPSS as well as other Statistical packages that support this format. There
  is also a summary of results on this page that will show a bar chart and numbers for multiple
  choice questions (not the text based ones obviously).

  An exit url property specifies where the user will be forwarded to on completing the survey,
  this can be an internal or external url.
