What is SSI Web?
|
SSI Web is our powerful survey software platform.
It can do general interviewing as well as conjoint analysis.
The following modules are available within SSI Web:
|
|
New SSI Web v8 Features
| Looping |
|
Semantic Differential Questions |
|
|
|
|
The new Looping function allows you to repeatedly ask a set of
questions for each item in a list, while only requiring you to create the questions
once. This feature helps simplify questionnaire authoring when the same
series of questions must be asked for each brand, family member, shopping
trip, menu item, etc. on a list. It provides advanced features for organizing
looped data in more efficient ways when exporting data.
|
|
The new Semantic Differential question type uses paired list
items to elicit responses on a scale. One common use of this type of question is
in psychological profiling (Which of these describes you best? Happy -
- - - - Sad). This question type also supports slider bars. Questions may
be structured as slider questions without requiring that they be semantic
differential scales.
|
| Cross-Tabs |
|
Database |
|
|
|
|
Cross-tabs in Admin Module. We have added the ability to do cross-tab reports in the Admin Module. Run multiple reports at the same time,
save reports for later use, produce bar and pie charts of your data, and
even download .csv files with cross-tab results. The original marginals
reports are still available, but have been upgraded along with the new
cross-tab function.
|
|
Database. Databases are now used to store data both on the web
server and locally on your PC. Web server supports both MySQL and Microsoft
SQL databases. We believe this shift will provide greater data integrity
and fewer data problems, and will also provide the ability to link online
data with other programs that require real-time database access
|
| JQuery |
|
Side-by-Side Installation |
|
|
|
|
jQuery. We are now using jQuery instead of MooTools as our JavaScript
library. This will provide more power and flexibility in writing JavaScript
and creating dynamic elements in your survey.
|
|
Side-by-Side Installation.Use the latest version of SSI Web
without having to uninstall your old versions.
|
But that's not all. Based on user feedback, we also added the following
features and enhancements to SSI Web, making it the most powerful software
engine we've ever produced:
-
Export Improvements
- List Recode: List values can be recoded when exporting data based on lists.
Currently, lists are automatically numbered sequentially from 1 to n and
the numbering cannot be changed by the user. When exporting the data, these
values can now be modified to reflect a different numbering system.
- Batch Export: Set up all your exports once and then export all necessary
files with just a few mouse clicks. It supports multiple export profiles.
- Filtering: Previous software only filters based on completion status when
exporting/analyzing data. This new feature allows advanced filtering based
on any respondent data.
- Open End: The Open End data export now provides the option to export answers
grouped either by respondent or by question. Previous versions only exported
answers grouped by question.
-
Auto Upload Improvement. In addition to uploading survey files,
the auto upload feature now can remove completed studies and clean up survey
files no longer needed on the server.
- Ranking Question Update. This question type now supports the
ability to specify a minimum and maximum number of items to rank. Previous
versions allowed users to specify a maximum but not a minimum.
-
Survey Authoring Improvements
- Copy and paste questions, lists, skip logic, etc. between multiple instances
of SSI Web open at the same time. Previous versions allowed you to copy
and paste, but only within one instance of SSI Web. This feature allows
users to essentially set up question libraries and makes it easier to work
between two or more studies at the same time.
- Import/Export Quota Cells and Skip Logic
-
CBC Improvements
- Advanced Design Module now supports up to 250 attributes (previous limit
was 30)
- Conditional relationships (price/display) can now include all of your
attributes (previous limit was 4 attributes per relationship) (Note that
this also applies to CVA.)
- Time per task is now included in CHO file export
-
MaxDiff Export Option. Some users have expressed the need to
export the position numbers of the items selected as best and worst in
MaxDiff exercises, particularly for identifying straightliners and other
patterns of responses.
-
SSI Script Updates
- ToolTip text popup function: This new SSI Script feature allows you to
display a popup tool tip for specified text. When the respondent moves
their mouse over the top of this text a box will be displayed with “HelpText”
in it.
- GetValue / SetValue function: These script commands allow you to create
a variable, and then change its value at different points in a survey.
-
Windows Clipbard Support. Copy Lists from SSI Web to the Windows
clipboard
-
Internal Labels in Lists. This feature has been in conjoint products
for many years, but was not available in lists. Now, users can specify
two types of item labels: text to display to respondents (HTML), and alternate
text (internal labels) that is displayed when exporting list items, displaying
lists while working within SSI Web, etc.
