Find out about the online survey review process
Login to Opinio using a unique username and password given to you by IT Services. (Note: Surveys going to Marquette audiences require approval from the university's Online Survey Review Group before issuing a login.)Navigate to your survey.
Review Opinio's documentation on the following topics:
- Designing a Survey
Ignore any design instructions about creating a new survey via Opinio. IT Services sets up a survey shell for you.
If your survey requires conditional branching (i.e. if Question 2 was answered "No," skip Questions 3, 4 and 5), be sure to enter all of your survey questions before adding branching.
Make certain that the warning messages for required questions are correct (i.e. remove instances of messages which say "Please select at least ... options")
- Testing then Publishing a Survey
See the Checklist below to test your survey before publishing it.
Be sure to use colleagues (as well as yourself) to help test the survey. Review the survey carefully for things like typographical and grammatical correctness, clarity, ease-of-use and correct branching (for example).
Information about Managing your Invitee lists is here.
- Survey Reporting and Analysis
- Randomly Selecting Survey Respondents
ObjectPlanet (the maker of Opinio) also offers some tutorials on their website.
Checklist before publishing your survey
- Did you use the preview survey function to test the survey (especially if you use question branching)?
- Is the survey available for responses? (Green light shows it's available)
- Are the start and stop dates for your survey correct?
- Did you delete all test responses?
- Do you want the respondent to submit the survey only once or multiple times?
- If using Opinio for e-mailing invitations, did you send a test invitation to yourself and some testing volunteers? It is strongly recommended that invitations are sent as 'Text Only' (as opposed to HTML).
- Do you need to track the identity of your respondents? If so, make sure you are using Opinio to send emails. Be sure to turn on survey authentication and set Anonymity to "No anonymity." Alternatively, if your audience is Marquette students, faculty or staff, Opinio can use an eMarq login to store respondent identity.
