Key features of WSC for Market Research

The Market Research features of Web Survey Creator extend the functionality of the software beyond the capabilities of the basic product. Below is a list of the key features of Web Survey Creator for market research. If you want to have a discussion about the full feature list please contact us - we'd love to provide you with further information.
Survey Design
Choice Images Choice items can be shown as images rather than text. For an example, see the sample survey.
Choice Metadata Choices are more than simply a piece of text or an image. Using "metadata" you can store a large amount of information on each choice for use in the survey through data piping. For an example, see the sample survey.
Survey Scripting Scripting provides an extremely powerful and flexible method to manage survey content using industry-standard javascript scripting. For full details, see our scripting manual.
Choice Linking Choice linking makes it possible to show choices in a particular question based upon choices in other questions. For an example, see the tutorial video.
Advanced Question Types Advanced Question types available in Web Survey Creator for market research surveys include comparison questions, best/worst questions, hierarchical questions, ranking questions, slider grids, breakdown sliders, card sorts, rating statements and advanced video questions. For an example, see the sample survey.
