Getting Started Mondays | January 30th 2023


Topic: Preview Survey


Testing your survey prior to data collection is a crucial step in the survey-making process as it leads to the identifying and fixing of any technical or conceptual errors, and ensuring the survey meets the objectives of the research. The preview survey feature facilitates this step by allowing you to test all aspects of your survey by placing a bookmark, ignoring question validations, and even showing hidden questions to avoid having to repeatedly complete your entire survey. Using these tools to ensure the survey is ready to launch will lead to the best respondent experience and facilitate data collection.


Instead of fixing mistakes as the first responses begin to come in, take the initiative and share your preview survey link with your team before publishing so you can maximize the potential of and fully utilize each response.
 

Where to find this feature:

  1. Navigate to the Survey tab and click Preview in the top-right.
  2. In the Preview Survey mode, click Tools.

Good afternoon from a sunny Sweden!
Yes I preview each new survey build several times for both testing and design purposes. :)

Good Evening All,
Yes I preview each survey before publishing for testing and further for testing my custom CSS and Java , as if they are working as envisioned or not.
I use "Ignore validation" validation the most while "Place Bookmark" would be the near second.
Best Regards

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/54892#Comment_54892Good Morning! I agree, previewing your survey is especially crucial when custom code is being used. Ignore validation always comes in handy when working on surveys with a ton of questions with required responses! 😎
