CiW features overview

Easy-to-use, template-based authoring on your own PC
SSI Web makes it easy to create simple to quite complex online surveys. To develop surveys, you use your PC or laptop running Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, Windows XP or better. The survey can be fully previewed and tested on a local PC, without the need to connect to the internet.

Randomization of pages, questions, and response options
Data piping
Constructed (dynamic) lists
One of the most powerful aspects of SSI Web is the ability to create custom lists of response options. These lists are defined by rules you specify and are customized to each respondent, based on the respondent's answers. The example below demonstrates how a constructed list might be used.
Automatic question response verification
Powerful skip logic (pre-skip and post-skip logic)
SSI Web makes it easy to add skip logic (branching) within your survey. Skips can be executed before the page loads (pre-skips) or after it has been submitted (post-skips). That means respondents can receive pages that only include the subset of questions that apply to them, and respondents can skip pages that are not relevant. Skip logic can be simple or complex, including parentheses to force order of operations, etc.

Questionnaire preview and testing on local PC

Admin Module for real-time reports, download, and data management
Having your questionnaire on the Internet is not only convenient for respondents, it is convenient for you (or your client) for checking the progress of the survey.

You can view and download data, calculate marginals (tabulate responses for questions), determine the number of completed surveys, or even change set-up options for your survey. The online administrative module is password protected, and you can give a "read-only" password to your client that enables some (but not all) data management capabilities.

All of the operations in the Admin Module can be done while the survey is being fielded, without interrupting respondents who may be simultaneously completing questionnaires.
