Survey Toolbar

The Survey Toolbar allows you to enhance the survey taking experience for your respondents. The toolbar allows you to add the following functionality to your survey:

  • Save and Continue - allow respondents to save progress and return to finish your survey at a later time.
  • Language Menu - if you have created multiple language versions of your survey, allow your respondents to choose a language to take your survey in.
  • Low Vision Mode - when enabled, Low Vision Mode allows survey respondents to:
    • Increase contrast ratios
    • Increase font sizes
    • Increase font weights (e.g. question text becomes bold)

The toolbar allows you to enable one, two, or all three of the above options.

Visit the documentation for expanded content on each of the Toolbar Content types:

    • Top: This will display the toolbar at the top of the page and will scroll out of view when respondents scroll down.
    • Bottom - Fixed: This will display the Survey Toolbar at the bottom of the survey page. The fixed setting will keep the bar in view when survey respondents scroll down on the page.
    • Bottom: This will display the Survey Toolbar at the bottom of the survey page. It is important to note that, without the fixed setting, this will often be out of view until respondents scroll down on the page.

  5. The Only show on the first page option will display the Survey Toolbar only on the survey's first page. Once respondents click the Next button, the toolbar will no longer be in view.

The Save and Continue toolbar will display on all pages after page one of the survey (excluding the Thank You Page).Only Show Toolbar on First Survey Page

FAQ & Troubleshooting

Can I change the location of the Toolbar Content?

At this time, the position of each item in the toolbar cannot be changed. The Save and Continue content will always be located on the left of the toolbar. The Low Vision Mode and Language content will be located on the right side of the toolbar.

My Save and Continue content does not appear on my survey!

The most likely cause for this is that you are viewing either Page One or a Terminal Page. It's important to note that the Save and Continue content does not display on either of these pages.
