LibWizard Implementation

LibWizard Survey Layout

LibWizard Survey Layout

A sample survey layout, with dividers between each pairing. Using "Reuse Questions" option, you can pull HTML and formatting forward from previous surveys.

Note: the "errors" that show up next to three of the questions have to do with the lack of question text. It's uncertain why some of the questions have this and others do not, but it does not impact the display or function of the survey.

LibWizard Survey Question Layout

By leaving the question space blank, you can use simple HTML in the answer field to great a more visually-engaging poll. The image URL is retrieved from the "Book from the Catalog" content type.

Sample HTML:

<img alt="Heavy : an American memoir by Kiese Laymon" loading="lazy" src="https://syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=1501125656/LC.GIF&amp;client=springshare" style="width:90px" /><br />

LibWizard Survey Results

Survey results appear in tabular format by default, with all HTML automatically stripped out for easy viewing. Good for at-a-glance overviews of an ongoing poll.

Exported CSVs also strip out HTML if there is interest in deeper statistical analysis of voting trends.

LibWizard Field Analysis

Using LibWizard Field Analysis, it's helpful to generate a chart to quickly visualize winners of each pairing. Switching between the different questions is also simple, using the drop-down box containing the different questions included in the survey.
