Sticky headers are particularly useful for keeping tab headers at the top of the page. As the respondent scrolls down the questions, they can always see which tab they are on. Sticky footers keep the navigation buttons at the bottom of the page so the respondent can always see them. You can use both sticky headers and footers in the questionnaire.

Watch our video to see some examples of interviews using sticky headers and footers.

Setting up sticky headers

Customising tooltip text

The default text is “Jump to top”. You can change this using the tooltip option when adding the JumpToTop keyword.

For example:

{{JumpToTop tooltip=Scroll to top}}

Multi-lingual surveys

When working with a multi-lingual survey the keyword JumpToTop must be in the default language edition as this edition is loaded first. If you want the tooltip text to be shown in another language you can add the keyword in each language edition and translate. However, do not translate the keyword itself.

Jump to Top during an interview

Jump to Top is provided by a button, that when activated, takes the user to the top of the page. The respondent can left-click the button using the mouse. The Jump to Top button appears when a scroll bar is required for the questionnaire page, and the respondent has scrolled down the page.

When the respondent hovers the mouse over, the tooltip shows.

Example of Quick Exit customisation

The button redirects to the Amazon website, has a different icon, and escape key does not redirect

{{QuickExit name=Exit Now, url=https://www.amazon.co.uk, escape=false, tooltip=Exit this survey, icon=! }}

The customised button has the new text and icon.

Multi-lingual surveys

When working with a multi-lingual survey the keyword QuickExit must be in the default language edition as this edition is loaded first. If you want the tooltip text in another language you can add the keyword in each language edition and translate. However, do not translate the keyword itself.

Quick Exit during an interview

Quick Exit is provided by a button, that when activated, instantly closes everything down, deletes the browser history for that questionnaire, and takes the respondent to another website. The respondent can left-click the button using the mouse or press the Esc key, if allowed.

The browser history for that questionnaire is deleted when the respondent hits the Save or Submit buttons in a questionnaire that has the Quick Exit button deployed.

The code scale and ripple effect animate the code when the respondent selects the code in the question. The code scale effect makes the selected code temporarily larger. The code ripple effect provides a circular ripple effect around the selected code.

The code animations highlight which code is selected. This helps respondents see which code they selected, helping with accessibility.

Please watch our video to show some examples of interviews using the code scale and ripple effects.

Code effects are set up for the whole questionnaire or for a question. If it is set up at the questionnaire level, this overrides any effects set for a question.

Setting up code scale effects

For the whole questionnaire

Enter the text {{codeFxScale}} in a Title or Note question to turn on the code scale effect for all questions with codes in the questionnaire.

You can add it to any Title or Note in the questionnaire, but we recommend adding it to the first Title in the questionnaire, so you can easily see that the effect is on. The respondent will not see the text {{codeFxScale}} during the interview.

Both Snap XMP Desktop and Snap XMP Online use the same set up.

For a single question

Enter the text {{codeFxScale}} in the question to turn on the code scale effect for that question only.

You can add it anywhere in the question, but we recommend adding it to the question text, so you can easily see that the effect is on. The respondent will not see the text {{codeFxScale}} during the interview.

Both Snap XMP Desktop and Snap XMP Online use the same set up.

Setting up code ripple effects

Page transitions

There are a number of page transitions available.

• Quick Exit to quickly exit the survey in an emergency and take the respondent to another website.
• Automatically move to the next page when all the questions on a page have been answered.
• Horizontal transitions to move the page horizontally to the next page.
• Vertical transitions to move the page vertically to the next page.
• Jump to the top of the page to move straight to the top of the survey when the questions require a scroll bar.

Page effects

Code box animations highlight the answer that the respondent chooses, helping improve useability and accessibility.

The post Page transitions and effects appeared first on SnapSurveys.

Horizontal or vertical page transitions move the questions on the page horizontally or vertically, when showing the next or previous page. This happens after the respondent clicks the next or back button, or when the page automatically moves to the next page.

Please watch our video to show some examples of interviews using horizontal and vertical page transitions.

Setting up horizontal page transitions

Enter the text {{hSlide}} in the questionnaire to turn on the horizontal page transition.

You can add it anywhere in the questionnaire, but we recommend adding it to the title, so you can easily see that the horizontal slide transition is on. The respondent will not see the text {{hSlide}} during the interview.

Both Snap XMP Desktop and Snap XMP Online use the same set up.

Setting up vertical page transitions

Enter the text {{vSlide}} in the questionnaire to turn on the vertical page transition.

You can add it anywhere in the questionnaire, but we recommend adding it to the title, so you can easily see that the vertical slide transition is on. The respondent will not see the text {{vSlide}} during the interview.

The AutoNext feature checks that all visible questions on the page have been answered before automatically going to the next page. This helps reduce the interview time.

Please watch our video to show some examples of interviews using AutoNext.

Setting up AutoNext

Enter the text {{AutoNext}} in the questionnaire to turn on the AutoNext feature.

You can add it anywhere in the questionnaire, but we recommend adding it to the title, so you can easily see that the AutoNext feature is on. The respondent will not see the text {{AutoNext}} during the interview.

Both Snap XMP Desktop and Snap XMP Online use the same set up.

Questions that do not trigger AutoNext

There are some questions that do not trigger the AutoNext feature. This is because it is not possible to know when the respondent has completed their response for the question.

These include:

• Multiple response questions
• Open ended questions, such as comments, quantity, date and time
• Open series questions, such as comments, quantity, date and time
• Sliders

For these questions, the respondent can use the Next navigation button to move to the next page.

AutoNext during an interview

For pages that contain only single response questions, the interview automatically moves to the next page after all the questions on the current page have been answered.

In this example, the first single response question is complete. When the respondent answers the second single response question, the interview moves to the next page without the need to use the Next button.

On the next page, there is a single response question and an open ended question asking for information. After the respondent answers the first question, they move to the second question. The respondent enters the information and then either clicks the Next button or presses the tab key to automatically move to the next page.
