Polling or Surveys
I am looking for an module to create a survey (multiple questions). The polling module is very basic and doesn't allow me to create several questions for one poll. Which I guess could be the definition of a Poll vs. Survey. Does anyone know how I can execute this with either the Poll module or a different module, as it could become a big part of my website.

RE:Polling or Surveys
Hi,

You can try to use BizForms module to achieve this where you can specify as many questions as you need to.

RE:Polling or Surveys
So this makes sense but then how would I review the data submitted? Create a report? I was looking or something similar to the Polling module but with the ability to add more questions. Something I woudn't have to build.

RE:Polling or Surveys
Hi,

Regrettably there is no other way, if Bizform won't fit your need, that build a custom web part and report for this.

But you can review the bizform data on Data tab and export it to Excel as well.

RE:Polling or Surveys
Makes sense. So I was playing around with the BizForm and it seems to do what I want but again another WHAT IF I have 10 questions which are stored in a table in the database and I want to display those questions dynamically on a BizForm. Can this be done or would I be better off creating a custom web part?

RE:Polling or Surveys
Hello,

You could develop a custom form control (http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/developing_form_controls.htm) which could display the appropriate content.

But the custom web part would be maybe easier in this case.
