Checkbox 5 - New Features Guide

Take a tour of the Checkbox 5 new feature highlights below:

User Interface Redesign

An overhauled user interface dramatically simplifies navigation and makes Checkbox’s most powerful features more accessible. The Survey Manager dashboard provides “at-a-glance” survey status and centralizes control over all related functions:

  • Reports
  • Invitations & Recipients
  • Responses & Export Options
  • Permissions & Response Options
  • Activation Settings
  • Survey Properties

Survey Editor Dashboard

This new expandable view allows you to add, edit, copy, move and delete survey items in one view. No more survey scrolling or flipping through pages - everything you need to construct your survey is right in front of you thanks to Checkbox's streamlined dashboard layout. Also new in Checkbox 5 is the abilbity to test your survey right from the editor page!

Expandable Style Editor

Creating style templates and sharing them with other users is easier than ever with the new, more intuitive Style Manager dashboard. The new expandable layout gives you more control over survey look and feel, because you can see your style changes update your survey in real time.

Universal Search

Universal search allows you to search the entire Checkbox application at once. Keep your searches as broad or as narrow as you wish using the location drop-down.

Survey Drag & Drop

With this time-saving feature you can quickly and easily rearrange survey pages, survey items, and even answer choices! Also new in Checkbox 5 is the ability to copy or move survey items and pages to a precise location in your survey.

Launch Wizard

The Launch Wizard is Checkbox Survey’s new, streamlined survey launch process. This wizard will guide you through the stages of launching your survey, including Permissions, Response Options and Response Limits.

NOTE: You also have the option to edit permissions and response options/limits individually from the Survey Manager Dashboard.

Invitations Wizard

The new Invitation Wizard simplifies survey distribution. Create as many invitations as you need for any given survey and add recipients to your invitation at any time. If you choose not to add recipients at the time of invitation creation, Checkbox will save your invitation as a draft for later use! The enhanced Invitations Manager, located in the Survey Manager Dashboard, makes it easy to track recipients and send reminders.

Multi-Question Charts

You can now display results from multiple questions on the same report chart, allowing you to compare response data for analysis.

Other Enhanced Features

  • Performance Improvements - Substantial performance improvement when managing large data sets (e.g. large user groups, data export, etc.)
  • Improved Single Sign-On Integration - Checkbox 5.0 now offers easier integration with Single Sign On systems with ASP.NET membership providers.

Coming Soon

  • Enhanced API - Enhanced API will make extending and customizing Checkbox even easier.
  • Survey Results Import - Checkbox 5 will offer the ability to import survey results in XML from other applications. If you have multiple Checkbox accounts or versions, you can now move responses from one survey to another!
