These are always available to everyone, at no extra cost. All functionalities can be turned on or off, depending on the needs of the project. A “how-to” page is provided for the administrator, and we can add short explanation videos on this if needed.

Each project gets its own domain (www.example.com) which is forwarded to a subdomain of researchsurvey.nl. There you will get your own homepage, participant explanation page, logo, project colors, and whatever else you need.

To ensure security, we recently started to offer a 2-way login. This means you not only need a username and password to login as an administrator, but you also get an extra check by SMS text.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row centered=”yes” sd_margin_bottom=”0px”][vc_column][ultimate_spacer height=”80″][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Digital questionnaires” heading_tag=”h3″ spacer=”line_only” spacer_position=”bottom” line_height=”2″ line_color=”#39b54a” main_heading_font_family=”font_family:Roboto|font_call:Roboto|variant:300″ main_heading_style=”font-weight:300;” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:30px;” main_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:10px;” sub_heading_font_family=”font_family:Roboto|font_call:Roboto|variant:300″ sub_heading_style=”font-weight:300;” sub_heading_margin=”margin-bottom:15px;” line_width=”50″ spacer_margin=”margin-bottom:30px;”]The basis of Research Survey, these can be added by our team here, but we always advise the investigator to check them for error.[/ultimate_heading][ultimate_spacer height=”40″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][bsf-info-box icon_type=”custom” icon_img=”id^884|url^https://researchsurvey.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/01.png|caption^null|alt^null|title^01|description^null” img_width=”72″ title=”Conditional logics” hover_effect=”style_3″ pos=”top” title_font=”font_family:Roboto|font_call:Roboto” desc_font=”font_family:Roboto|font_call:Roboto|variant:300″ desc_font_style=”font-weight:300;” title_font_size=”desktop:18px;” desc_font_size=”desktop:16px;”]if the answer to question 1 is A, the system can go to question 3 if needed[/bsf-info-box][ultimate_spacer height=”50″ height_on_mob_landscape=”0″ height_on_mob=”0″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][bsf-info-box icon_type=”custom” icon_img=”id^887|url^https://researchsurvey.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/02.png|caption^null|alt^null|title^02|description^null” img_width=”72″ title=”Code book” hover_effect=”style_3″ pos=”top” title_font=”font_family:Roboto|font_call:Roboto” desc_font=”font_family:Roboto|font_call:Roboto|variant:300″ desc_font_style=”font-weight:300;” title_font_size=”desktop:18px;” desc_font_size=”desktop:16px;”]when finished, all questions and answers are in “code”.

when a collaborator needs to fill out a survey, for example a lab result, they sometimes do not have the study number present. They can fill out the local patient ID on the homepage, and get the corresponding study number. This can, of course, not be done the other way around, for privacy reasons.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Randomize

if needed, you can randomize within the inclusion of a new participant. The system provides allocation variants (like 1:2), block randomization, and stratification between locations[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Pregnancy dependent variables

it can be difficult to know why someone does not reply to a survey invitation. The email log will show you if an invitation was delivered, and if the email was opened.

the administration page can show you a lookup table. This table shows all participant study numbers in one column, then green arrows or red crosses for each survey.

you can send an email to all participants straight from the administrator menu which allows you to, for example, thank everybody for participating, or send them an update, and involve them even more in your project[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_spacer height=”150″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
