Features:

• Survey participants can save their responses and return later to finish.
• You can skip to a different question or to different pages depending on the question or response to a question that is selected.
• The new Raosoft EZSurvey Personal Server lets you preview a multi–page validated form without a web server. You can check validation and skip patterns immediately without publishing.
• After a response you can have a follow–up question appear in a dialog box, asking the user to write in their response. Use the follow–up question to have respondents specify when they select “Other”.
• You can place Help buttons on the form that open up help windows when clicked.
• Use the new Raosoft AutoStyle templates to apply a standard “look and feel” to your forms for quick design and known appearance.
• For fast speed design, Import Questions allows you to import questions from a “Form”, “Document”, or “Database” in one quick transfer.
• Connect with an HTML editor with one click, or enter your own HTML tags in a plain–text question (or other type question) to insert images, horizontal rules, and other items to liven up your form. You may use any type of image.
• You can have horizontal responses and table layouts of questions! The table editor will automatically format the table cells and rows for you.
• You may edit the database in an easy worksheet layout. You can right click on a cell and select a different response or double click and edit the text of the response.
• The Professional version has ODBC connectivity with both the web server and desktop program.
• You can mask the text of write–in fields to ensure only numbers for SSN’s, only letters for names, etc.
• You can save data after each page, so that if the user is not able to finish the data is still saved. The participant can reenter if you allow that option.
• E–mail has mailmerge for bulk e–mailing, and can use standard address books.
• Restrict By Date activates a survey between a specified start date and a specified end date. The survey will only allow access to data entry during that designated time period.
