Add a Rank Question to your next survey

This question type requires respondents to rank the different answer options. As usual, we have done it with a mobile first approach. Respondents can select the answers based on their preferences and even re-order them, by clicking or dragging them.

A few things to know:

1. You can have respondents rank all answers or select a specific count of responses for them to rank. That could be "Rank your top 3" as an example. In any case, respondents will never be asked to rank more than 10 answers, that would just not be a fun survey.
2. In report mode, you will have the average rank for all answers calculated automatically and will see the distribution of all ranks for the different answers. In a convenient way, you will be able to show only certain ranks and see the cumulative percentage of respondents that have ranked those answers in these ranks.

Download as SPSS

This will download all study data in multiple SAV files, one for each section, and packaged into a .zip folder.

1. You will have different different files for each section and they further break down into files for question answers, Idea info, Interest scores & Commitment scores depending on what sections you have in your study.
2. Idea Split files will be stacked data -you'll have multiple rows for the same respondent ID, equivalent to the number of ideas a respondent saw in the Idea Split

You can use these exported data files as inputs for advanced analytical tools.

Averages provide a single-number summary of response on a single-response scaled question. Averages is our version of 'mean scores' in research-speak.

Introducing Averages into Upsiide means that you can now more quickly distill complex data into a single number. This allows you to understand the data more quickly and/or convert the data into something more meaningful quickly.

Here you can see Averages in the context of our Idea Split module:

In order to turn Averages 'on' for your single-select scale questions, simply toggle 'Add Scale' (within Settings) in the question builder.

The introduction of Mean Scores into the platform means that you can now run a different type of stat-testing (t-tests) which often requires smaller sample sizes to find significant differences.

• Documents shared by the Dig Insights & Upsiide team can now be viewed from directly within your study.

The Heatmap question type allows respondents to answer a question by engaging with the idea the user is testing. Respondents can click in to tap on specific elements of the idea and provide verbatim feedback.

A few things you need to know:

1. You can use Heatmap in both Splits and Questions sections

When using Heatmap in a question section, you'll need to upload an image to test. But when you're using Heatmap in Splits you can upload the idea card as normal. There are even options for selecting which elements of the idea card are to be shown in the question (image only or image with text).

2. It's all customizable

If you want respondents to have the option of appending comments and feedback to the ideas you're testing, you can make Heatmap functionality optional. You can also customize the number of clicks and comments each respondent can add.

3. Dedicated reporting makes insight generation easy

Your study has closed and you're ready to understand how each idea performed. The Heatmap reporting visualizes where people engaged (clicked/tapped) with the ideas tested. Respondents' comments are shown as verbatim and in a word cloud to help identify common feedback.

If you want a walkthrough of the Heatmap functionality, we'd be happy to help! Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager OR log into the platform and connect with our Support team.

There is no *completed* study without the right respondents. We've spent the last few months re-working our Audience feature, streamlining the process of building and sending out a study. And now it's here!

Here's what you can expect the next time you launch:

1. It's now easier than ever to set up an Audience for a multi-language study

Let's imagine you've got a study that needs to go out to a bunch of different people from a bunch of different places (that all speak different languages, naturally). Previously, you would have added multiple audience groups to a study and applied screening questions to each of the groups. With the new Audience experience, you can select your screening questions ONCE and apply to all of your demographic groups. Or, you can choose to apply the screening questions to a select subset of those demographic groups.

2. Brand new Audience templates and screening question libraries

Let's say you need to reach an audience you've surveyed before; now, we've got heaps of Audience templates and pre-built screening questions to choose from, all of which have been translated into the different languages Upsiide supports. Need to survey primary grocery shoppers in a brand new geography, or quickly add a screening question to an audience? You're just a couple clicks away.

3. Improved quota settings

We've improved our interlocking quotas feature, making it easier to select which quotas you'd like to interlock. But we're nerd-ing out most on our new feature that allows you to set quotas on your own custom screening questions.

4. Simplified Audience pricing

We've consolidated our pricing options into 3 tiers based on country. This will allow for faster completion times and subsequent decision-making. For all of the info, click below.

The new Audience Experience may look and feel different, but we're here to help you on your journey to mastering it. Our Customer Experience team is offering each client hands-on training to get comfortable!
