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 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. 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.
