Customizing the Survey Resume/Restore Page
Illume surveys include a resume/restore feature that allows participants to resume a partially completed survey. When a participant logs in and Illume finds a partially completed survey for that participant, Illume presents the resume/restore page, which asks the participant whether they would like to resume the existing survey where they left off.
Note: An optional “Start Over” button can be added to this page. Clicking this button deletes all entered data for that survey session and resumes the participant at the start of the survey. This button can be added under the Preferences/Buttons page within the Survey menu.
Customize the message on the resume/restore page by following these steps:
- Choose Survey \ Preferences from the Survey Designer menu
- Click on the Page Text tab.
- Select “Survey Resume/Restore Page” from the poplist.
- Edit the page in the HTML editor.
- Click OK.
There may be some scenarios in which you want respondents to bypass the survey resume/restore page, and always immediately resume a survey session instead of stopping first on this page. There are two ways to bypass the survey resume/restore page:
- Under Survey \ Preferences \ Buttons, remove the “location” for the Restore and Start Over buttons, the two buttons that natively appear on this page. By removing those buttons, the page is prevented from appearing.
- Append the following tag to the end of the survey URL: &_rs_=1
Customizing the Survey Suspended Page
A suspended survey is one that was at one time published, but is not currently available to participants. A survey achieves a Suspended state when a user with the Administrator role sets the Running survey to a status of Suspend. The “Survey Suspended” page text is what participants see if they navigate to the URL of a suspended survey.
To customize the message on this page:
- Choose Survey \ Preferences from the Survey Designer menu.
- Click on the Page Text tab.
- Select “Survey Suspended Page” from poplist.
- Edit the page in the HTML editor.
- Click OK.
Customizing the Launch Page
The Launch page appears for participants when the URL to a survey is clicked upon, in the event that the participant does not have JavaScript enabled in their browser, which is needed for automatically launching pages. This page provides a button to the participant which can be clicked to Launch the survey.
To customize the message on this page:
- Choose Survey \ Preferences from the Survey Designer menu.
- Click on the Page Text tab.
- Select “Launch Page” from poplist.
- Edit the page in the HTML editor.
- Click OK.
Customizing the Save Page
The save page appears when a participant clicks the Save button. This button does not appear in Illume surveys by default, but rather can be added via the Survey/Preferences/Button Text editor. By default all data are saved and sent to the server every time the participant clicks the Next button, once a page has been completed. The Save button essentially acts as the Next button in situations wherein an entire page has not yet been completed, in that it sends all completed responses to the server allowing the participant to resume on the exact item on which he left off. See “Setting up Save and Restore” for details.
To customize the message on this page:
- Choose Survey \ Preferences from the Survey Designer menu.
- Click on the Page Text tab.
- Select “Save Page” from poplist.
- Edit the page in the HTML editor.
- Click OK.
