The overall survey flow for a given user is fixed. Instead, surveys can be designed where sub-sets of items are selected based on the user's previous answers (e.g., the 10 people whom the respondent said he goes to for advice most often), to allow for conditional follow-up questions.
Also note that the user can save the work done on the survey so far, and logout at any point. The user can then come back, login, and finish or revise the survey at a later time.
The survey design, including the specification of logical rules, is done entirely online, via a web-based interface. We don't yet have available a demo for the survey-design interface. (If we gave general access to the survey-design interface for this demo, people playing with it would mess up the survey demos for everyone... If you need to see what the survey-design interface looks like, email me at mlobo@duke.edu.)
These three demos are only meant to show what the system can do -- the questions included are somewhat random but, like most things in the survey system, they are very easy to customize. To use each demo, pick one of the logins below (all user names in the demo surveys were randomly generated). Usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.

If your session gets disconnected it's because someone else started using that same login! (Which is the appropriate behavior for the actual survey, since each login should only be known by one person -- we'll eventually get around to changing this just for the demo.)
Note that all three demos are really just a single survey: you can create classes of users and make the survey be different for each class, which is what is happening here. The text and anchors for the questions, the number and sequence of pages, the intructions and help text, the slider colors, etc., are all configurable from the web-based survey design interface, and you can upload your own logo.
Demonstrates the use of check boxes, in page 2, which are used to specify the list of of users for the questions in page 3.
Selection rules are used to build the list of users that show up in page 4 (the top 6 from among those for which the rating is greater or equal than 5).

This
survey contains the following pages:
1. Introductory text, instructions.
2. Staff roster to select colleagues with whom you have regular interaction.
3. Basic feedback page (1 to 7 scale).
4. Follow-up questions, asked of people to whom you gave either very high or
very low ratings.
5. Feedback about company departments.
6. Text comments about departments.
7. Job satisfaction survey, general questions (this is also an example of a
question with required answer: the user is not allowed to proceed to the next
step until the column is complete).
8. Follow-up verbal comments for questions in 7 for which the user's response
was negative.
9. Final goodbye page, save and logout.

This is a sample generic survey. Somewhat silly really, just to show the basic look-and-feel.
It demonstrates the use of selection rules, or filters, to build lists: which items are included in pages 3 and 4 depends on the answers you give in page 2 (in this case it simply picks the top 3 items, but much more complex rules are possible).
It also demonstrates the collection of verbal feedback about specific items (in this case the items are selected by the same rule as in the previous step).
