Quickly and easily add:- all the Basic question types such as Multiple Choice, Single or Multi Choices, Date or Date Range, Open Text, Short or Long, Numerical, with or without decimal, Country List, and Birth Year.
- Complex questions types such as
- Likert Scale - structured rating of a single item (such as Strongly Agree, Agree, Neither Agree nor Disagree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree)
- Constrained Matrix - similar to Likert Scale, but each option A-D has only 1 forced response to increase validity (such as Not Important, Somewhat Important, Very Important, Essential) or more scales
- Rank Order - structured ranking of multiple items (such as food most frequently eaten: 1 - Bread; 2 - Vegetables; 3 - Fruit; 4 - Beef; 5 - Seafood; 6 - Poultry; 7 - Dairy)
- Semantic Differential - structured measure of objects, events and concepts (such as your home: warm----cold, standard----unique, messy----clean, etc...)

Survey Design
Drag and Drop Interface, Survey Versioning, Skip Logic, Survey Ethics,Copy Questions, Formatting Options, Randomization and Real Time previews:
- Easily drag and drop questions into the white area, add in desired content and add, delete or modify question choices with ease; add formatting, bold, italics, underline, colors, images, plus more...
- structuring a survey with intro and consent forms, dividers, page breaks, survey sections, and custom thank-you page works the same way
- built-in Clipboard for quick and easy temporary storage of survey components you create lets you move even complex components easily to any part of your survey, no matter how long it is; makes deleting unwanted items a snap
Use Survey Versioning to create surveys, pilot test the questions and add survey version so you can have comment on your research process to research ethical boards, management or the executive team. Add version, modify versions or delete versions, it is entirely up to you.
Use Skip Logic to move respondents forward into sections of a survey. Simply map out your entire survey and add in skip logic so respondents only see relevant questions based on previous answers; making your survey more sophisticated.
The built-in Informed Consent component facilitates needed disclosure to and consent from respondents, and works in conjunction with built-in opt-out functionality and other features to provide for managing survey recipient/respondent privacy.Create any template within Jitsulab.com and those questions will be at your disposal at any time. Simple use the Copy from Survey function and build new surveys' follow up surveys or longitudinal surveys at any time.
Quickly and easily add information or Branding regarding your research organization with optional survey headers and footers containing text and your logo. Any survey (or survey format) created and saved then automatically becomes part of your account's survey library, available in future for instant re-use, in whole or part.
Surveys can be designed to be randomized at an appropriate level automatically when published online. When you select this option each respondent will see any element that is set to be randomized (response alternatives within one or more questions or within a section) in an order that eliminates design ordering bias, to increase reliability, of your raw data.
Real time preview can work in multiple ways. You can view your survey from the home or design tab to see the final product. Also, you can publish your survey and use the public link to view exactly what your respondents will receive.

Publish Survey
Publish any survey version in Public or Private mode.

The built-in One Time, Intermediate or Longitudinal survey research facilitates:
- pilot test your survey to help establish recipient groups and/or test your questions and surveys for bias
- easy revision of recipient groups and/or survey for main data gathering phase of research
- coordinated design and analysis of possible follow-up survey(s) in the light of responses to a survey section
- follow a cohort from pre-entry, 1st year to final years, and post graduation for Longitudinal studies.
- recipient groups can be imported, created within the account, or a combination of these two methods
- recipient groups from other surveys in the account can be copied and revised as necessary, to optimize your research efficiency
- online public distribution
- online private distribution by means of secure custom links automatically e-mailed to individual recipients, with reminder requests easily e-mailed to non-respondents to optimize response rates
- surveys can be made available/unavailable online manually, adjustments can be made if you notice a typo and restarted, at any time.
