What is a Survey?

A survey is a method of data collection that involves gathering information from a sample of individuals or entities in order to gather insights, opinions, or factual data on a specific topic or issue. Surveys are commonly used in research, market research, social science, and various fields to collect data for analysis and decision-making purposes.

Digital surveys offer several advantages over traditional paper-based surveys, including faster data collection, automated data entry, and real-time data analysis. They also allow for greater flexibility in terms of sample size, geographic reach, and targeting specific populations. Additionally, digital surveys can provide enhanced data quality through built-in validation checks, skip patterns, and randomization features.

BDB Survey

BDB Survey module helps the users to quickly create, customize, and distribute digital Surveys with the targeted group of people to collect responses and analyze them.

Respondents can access and complete digital surveys using their computers, tablets, or smartphones, typically through web browsers or dedicated survey apps. BDB surveys can include various types of questions, such as multiple-choice, rating scales, open-ended, or multimedia-based questions that can include images, videos, or audio.

This option allows users to reuse surveys. Users can even modify the survey questions if needed.

• Click the menu icon on the top right corner.

• A context menu opens.

​​

Single Answer

This type of question is an essential question to restrict respondents to a single option from all the provided options. Selecting a choice out of all the offered options will often classify them as members of a group. Example, selecting age group, religion, or gender.

Multiple Answer

Respondents can select one or more options from a list of answers to express their opinion. Multiple choice question type can be used, when there is a fixed number of options available for a question.

Single Answer Picture

Use this type of question when you want respondents to select only one picture from a list of picture choices.

Multiple Answer Picture

Use this type of question when you want respondents to select more than one picture from a list of picture choices.

Yes/ No

Use ‘Yes/ No’ when there are only two possible options for answering the question. This type of question can also be used as an end survey question. ‘Required’ validation can be applied to this question.

Matrix-Single Answer

Use this kind of question, if you want respondents to apply the same measurement while answering several related questions. It allows only one answer per row. You also have the option to turn the matrix question into a rating scale when you want to assign weights to each answer choice.

Matrix-Multiple Answer

Use a Matrix-Multiple Answer question type, if you want respondents to evaluate one or more row items using the same set of column choices. You can set this type of matrix question to collect multiple answers.

Rating Scale

Questions formed under this type are generally to measure the opinions or attitudes of the desired audience. It is to rate a single aspect or thing alongside a spread-out range of possible choices/options. The rating scale is used to assign weights to respondents’ answers. Rating is predefined for these questions. E.g., Customer satisfaction survey questions

Numerical Text Box

Numerical short responses can be collected by using this question type. The alphabetical keyboard is disabled to restrict the respondents to use only numbers.

Text Box

To collect single short text or numerical responses from the respondents the single Text Box can be used. It can be validated to turn it into a compulsory question. E.g., Pin Code, Designation.

Comment

It is difficult to provide specific pre-set answer options to open-ended survey questions; therefore, respondents are required to type their responses into a comment box. Respondents are free to choose the wording and length of responses. Collected responses can then be viewed separately or through some text analysis tools. Questions falling under this type are often not mandatory to respond.

Multiple Textbox

This question type is used to collect multiple short responses for a single question. It includes both, numerical and textual responses. The user can specify the answer length and ‘Required’ validation can be applied to this question type.
