After several quiet months, we're excited to share some important updates with you! We recently launched six highly requested features, and we have big plans for 2012. Here's a rundown of what's new.

New Features

Export: Filters

You can now choose filters and channels when exporting your survey results. Filtering makes it easier to analyze large surveys in greater detail.

Export: Internationalization

We fixed a bug in the Export feature that made it difficult to read international characters. We value our customers from around the world and will continue supporting features that enhance internationalization.

Matrix Likert/Rating Questions: Custom Values

You can now adjust the scale of Matrix Likert/Rating questions. You can invert the scale from 1-2-3 to 3-2-1 or enter custom values.

Multiple Choice Questions: Answer Limit

Previously, there was no way to limit the number of options a respondent could select in multiple-choice questions. Based on your feedback, we've updated Survs so you can set a minimum and maximum number of answers. This is useful when limiting answers makes your data more meaningful.

Open Text Questions: Format Validation

Want better answers from open text questions? You can now specify whether the response should be formatted as a number, email address, or date. Collecting information in a specific format helps ensure more accurate data and better results.

Links

You can now include links in your surveys using Markdown. This feature was highly requested, and we've added a brief guide on the Edit Survey page.

Use a set of parentheses immediately after the link description's closing square bracket. Inside the parentheses, paste the URL where you want the link to go.

Example 1: This is [an example](https://example.com/) inline link.

Example 2: [This link](https://example.net/) goes to a different URL.

A Look Ahead

Along with these new features, we're really excited about the year ahead. We'll be sharing details about a big update we're working on soon, so stay tuned!
