Online survey

A survey takes minutes to assemble — the trouble usually starts afterwards. Answers have to be read, not just collected. So alongside collection Gatherino gives you a summary that shows the distribution for every question, and an export you do not have to retype.

What a survey is made of

Rating scales

Stars, a numeric scale, a slider or NPS. Each one gets a distribution chart in the summary, and NPS gets a calculated score.

Choices and checkboxes

One option, several options, yes/no. The summary shows how often each option was picked.

Open questions

Short and long text. Browse them in the table and filter; search ignores diacritics.

Anonymous mode

Turn it on and the form asks nobody to sign in, and responses are not tied to a respondent profile.

How to go about it

  1. 1

    Only ask what you will act on

    A question whose answer changes nothing just makes the survey longer. Before adding it, say what you would do on “yes” and what on “no”.

  2. 2

    Split a long survey into steps

    Several short screens with a progress bar beat one long one. Partially filled responses are saved, so people can come back.

  3. 3

    Skip what does not apply

    Conditional logic shows follow-up questions only to the people they concern. Everyone else never sees them.

  4. 4

    Decide on anonymity up front

    An anonymous survey gets franker answers but leaves you unable to follow up. Choose based on what you will do with the data.

  5. 5

    Watch where people drop off

    Partial responses show the step people got stuck on. That is usually where a question stopped them.

Anonymity has a limit worth knowing: even without a sign-in, the submission time and IP address are stored with the response. In a small internal sample a combination of answers can identify someone without a name — if you promise anonymity, do not also ask for department, seniority and contract type.

FAQ

Is the online survey free?

The free plan covers 3 forms and 100 responses a month, including scales, conditional logic and anonymous mode. Paid plans start at 250 CZK a month.
