FileMaker Press Release
FM::NEXUS SHIPS FIRST UPDATE TO DRAGON WEB SURVEYS 8
– Leading Survey Solution for the Modern FileMaker Platform Is Now Optimized for iPhone Delivery of Web-based Surveys –
Now for the first time, FileMaker developers can create web-based
surveys that are properly formatted for iPhone users to answer a
variety of survey question styles. Beyond basic radio buttons and
rankings, respondents can fill in text fields using their iPhone
and even switch languages for surveys that take advantage of the
multi-language capabilities in Dragon Web Surveys 8.
"Dragon Web Surveys 8 is the modern survey solution for
the modern FileMaker database software platform, "
explained Vincenzo Menanno, founder and president of FM::Nexus.
"Steeped in a tradition of flexibility, Dragon
Web Surveys' multi-language capabilities address
our global reality, and now includes the world's most
advanced mobile digital computing and communications device. The
new iPhone optimization makes surveying people on iPhones
strikingly easy. If you haven't already, Dragon Web Surveys
is a really great reason to make the move to FileMaker Server
9."
The latest upgrade, Dragon Web Surveys 8, represents a complete
redesigned to take advantage of the fully integrated PHP
capabilities in FileMaker Server 9. Dragon Web Surveys 8 leverages
the industrial strength, standard PHP language for increased
reliability and unique competitive features. Dragon Web Surveys is
the only survey solution on the market that allows respondents to
attach files and images with responses, and connects responses
directly into any existing FileMaker solutions.
Dragon Web Surveys 8 administrators can run surveys in multiple
languages, and can set automatic email notifications, as well as
start and stop dates and times. Version 8 also introduced custom
cascading style sheets (CSS) support, new visual reporting
statistics and six new question types. The CSS support is now
optimized to allow CSS-based web survey pages to display properly
on the iPhone.
The design overhaul of Dragon Web Surveys 8 significantly improved
traditional capabilities, such as data export, cross-tab reporting,
branching logic, administrator email notification, and response
validation. In addition, improved visual cuing gives administrators
quick information about respondent notification, reminder and
response. Enhanced image embedding makes it easy to present
questions with pictures or images that can help respondents
visually relate to an otherwise text-based question.
Dragon Web Surveys includes built-in support for web surveys
written in English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Japanese and
Chinese. Any additional language can also be added.
