Survey settings (AskiaVista)

Use this feature to change the default settings of the currently-open questionnaire. These settings will be used for all tables and charts, unless they are over-ridden by the user creating the table or chart. For example, if the default weighting is defined as "individuals living in the north-east region", a table will always have this weighting applied unless another weighting is explicitly chosen when the table is defined.

To access survey settings:

  1. If you are not viewing the question list, in the drop-down list at the top of the left-hand panel select Questionnaire.

  2. At the top of the list, click Survey settings. The Survey settings modal window appears.

  3. Make changes to the settings (as described below).

  4. Click Save to apply your changes.

In the survey settings dialog, you will find the following options:

Default sharing options

In the survey settings, the Default sharing options determine the people who, by default, you will share any Variables, Profiles, Properties or Portfolios that you define in askiavista. A list of people is displayed (initially, this list will be empty) ; you can add people to (and remove them from) this list, and, for each individual, specify his or her access and sharing rights. These rights determine whether the specified person can by default view, edit and share your created items.

These are the default options; you can always allow or deny people access to specific created items by going into the sharing options for that item. For details, see sharing variables, sharing profiles and sharing portfolios.

 

To add a person to the list:

  1. Click the Search contacts field. A drop-down list appears, containing the people who have accounts in the system.
  2. To quickly find someone in the drop-down list, start typing part of the person's name, and the list will be filtered to show the people whose names contain the letters you type.
  3. Select the person from the drop-down list which appears.
  4. Click Add (you can add several people at once if you wish; if you are adding multiple people, there is no need to click add after every name).
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 for each person you want to add.

To remove a person from the list:

  1. Select the person in the list.
  2. Click Remove:
