Saving your Work:

9) We'll continue in just a second, but we should save our work.  From the main menu, click File and then Update Survey.  If will ask you to name your survey, so let's all it "Brief SES Survey".  Then click OK.
        SA will then open a copy of the survey in a new browser window.  You should see something that looks like (the questions are a little hard to read, but you can see the format):
 
 

Any formating changes you want to make can be made with HTML.

10)   As you scroll down the survey, one thing you might notice is the questions are a little smushed together.  SA can add the questions, but to do a little more formating you need to add some HTML.  Let's put in a space between questions 3 and 4.

     Try this:  In SA, open the page entitled 'SES questions'.  From the menu bar, select 'Add Other' and then click 'Text/HTML'.  Double-click on the 'Text/HTML' option that appears in the list and in the text window that opens up, type the following: "<br>".  This HTML causes a line break in the text.

     Also, in the top of the window, change the Label: to "Add Space". Click 'OK' when your done.  If you highlight the new Add Space line and then push the up and down areas on the keyboard, you can position the new text between the appropriate questions.  When you close the page and  'Update Survey', you can see the formating change to the survey.

11)  Now we need to make the Thank You page.  Double-click the Questionnaire page you made and the Edit Questionnaire Page will open.  Change the Page Label to "Thank You".  Click 'Add Other' and add a line for some HTML.  Double-click that new line and enter the following text:

<center><font size=+1>Thanks for completing the survey!</font></center>

    This single line of HTML contains the statement we want to present, the code to center the line on the computer screen, and an increase in font size.  Click 'OK' when you're done and then close the Edit page.  Then, update your survey and take a look.

    Click Here to take a look a the final survey.

Looking at the Data:

12) Now, let's take a look at the data.  If you haven't already done so, complete your survey and make sure to click the 'Press to Submit' button.
        Then, return to the Licensed User Area for WWW Survey Assistant and click Access your Survey Data.  After entering your User Name and Password, you should get a list of *.log files from any of your surveys which have collected data.  Clicking on the Brief SES Survey.log option should open a window with strings of data that look something like this:
 
 

The data is saved in a comma deliniated format.  Each line represents the information gathered from one submission.  Thus, each line should represent a different respondent.      Each piece of information is enclosed by commas and parentheses.  The first 5 entries on each line are largely administrative information.  For example, the forth piece of information is the URL for the survey that was completed and the fifth piece of information is the date and time the survey was completed.        After that, you have the responses that were collected.  Each question is actually represented by 3 pieces of information (always represented in the same order):  1) the variable name (e.g., "Sex"), 2) the label used for the response (e.g., "Male"), and 3) the number of the option (e.g., "1", because "Male" was the first response option for that question).       The data file can be downed and opened in a spreadsheet program for conversion or analysis.
