Administrator in a published survey
Many administrators like to test their surveys. Testing a survey is highly recommended, but this should always be done BEFORE the survey is published and EHQ allows you to do this easily.
Amending published surveys
Administrators should refrain from changing already published surveys as much as possible! We understand that there are instances where a change can not be avoided. In this case please familiarize yourself with how altering a published survey can affect data by reading this.
The safer option is always to unpublish the survey first, clone the survey with a couple of clicks, make your change and republish the amended, new survey. You might end up with two different sets of data at the end (if you have received responses in the first survey), but you can easily combine the two in Excel afterwards.
Deleting test responses
Should you ever be in a position where either yourself or a colleague has submitted a test response in a published survey, with our new upgrade you can now discard the response from all reporting. As outlined above, ideally it would not come to this because you have tested the survey before it was published, but if it does, look out for a link at the bottom of the survey notification email you get when a new response was submitted.
