This manual is designed to act as a step by step guide in the creation,
administration, analysis and reporting of Survey Said surveys. It provides
the initial assist for getting started quickly and also allows for future
reference so that the features of Survey Said can be exploited in your
specific applications. Because Survey Said provides an environment that
is easy and natural to work in with options readily available and in plain
sight, learning time is minimized and remembering commands eliminated.
With the release of Survey Said SE/EE, Marketing Masters celebrates its
Tenth major release and our
Tenth year serving the marketing
research community. We would like to extend a special thank you to all
of our customers for supporting us over the last decade, and hope to
serve your survey needs into the next millennium.
Survey Said Standard and Enterprise Editions, are network ready, which runs
on all major PC network operating systems. Each PC running Survey Said
SE/EE must have a valid license provided by Marketing Masters.
Welcome to Survey Said for Windows and the Web. Survey Said SE/EE
- The most versatile survey management software yet - is faster and
more powerful. The major change for Survey Said as we enter the new
millennium, is the availability of a 32-bit version. Survey Said SE
Standard Edition (our 16-bit offering) and Survey Said EE Enterprise
Edition (our 32-bit offering), are virtually identical except that
Survey Said EE (the 32-bit version) supports long file names.
An additional change is the Survey Creator now uses "Web Safe" preset
colors in HTML generated surveys. It is recommended that your video
display is set to 65K colors or more to view an accurate representation
of how the colors will look in the Survey Creator vs. the Internet browser.
Note: The Survey by Diskette option remains a 16 bit application because
of program size considerations, for both Survey Said SE and Survey Said EE.

- Personal computer with a 100MHz processor minimum
- 64M RAM with Windows 95 or 98 and 128M RAM with Windows NT
- Hard disk with a minimum of 5M of free space for the programs
- VGA 640 x 480 minimum
The Survey Respondent program is designed to run "Full Screen" on a
VGA display resolution of 640 x 480. This is the recommended resolution when
the respondent is answering the survey at the computer. By having the Survey
Respondent program use the entire screen, "clutter" from other
applications is eliminated. It allows the respondent to focus on the survey
screen. This is also beneficial for kiosk systems where a touch screen is being
used. Command buttons and answer selection buttons are sufficiently sized to allow
easy selection using the respondents fingers as the pointing device.
A higher resolution is beneficial when performing analysis on the survey data.
The Survey Analyzer program can take advantage of super VGA resolutions of
800 x 600, 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024. These resolutions offer more screen
"real estate" which allows clearer graphics and more of the textual
analysis to be displayed on the screen for viewing. This is especially
beneficial when displaying banner or cross table analysis. The screen resolution
can be changed using the Windows Setup program in the Main program group of
MS-Windows.
The text foreground, background and highlight colors can be set by using the
Windows color setup program in the Control Panel options in the Main group.
Click on the Color Palette. Select the screen element to be changed and click
on the color box desired. Exit the color setup program to view the changes.
Select Save Scheme to save these colors.
On-line help is available for all Survey Said specific functions. For detailed
information on the Windows help function, refer to the MS-Windows manual. An
overview of Survey Said can be obtained once in Help by clicking on Contents.
This may also be accessed by double clicking on Survey Said Help icon in the
Survey Said program group icons. Survey Said help can also be accessed by pushing
the F1 key while running any of the Survey Said programs.
