Survey Builder 2 dimensional matrix-style survey?

Apex Survey Builder is convenient to make surveys for mobile devices like this:
1. How was your food?
   O good
   O okay
   O fair
   O bad
2. How was the service?
   O good
   O okay
   O fair
   O bad
But, I want to make one that fits on a laptop's display like this:
                      good okay fair bad      _
how was your food?     O    O    O    O
how was the service?   O    O    O    O
how was the price ?    O    O    O    O
How can I make Survey Builder make horizontal selections like this? Or is another Apex app more appropriate?
I'm not asking it to auto-detect whether the participant is on a mobile or laptop; I'm assuming they're on a laptop for this survey.
Thank you,
Ben

John,
Thanks. Got it. So Apex Survey Builder is good for mobile devices, where a single-column survey is appropriate. Can Apex detect whether the user is coming from a device with a narrow screen (iPhone but not iPad)? If so it would be great if the Matrix-style question layout would be horizontal on the wide screen (say 400px or 4in) but vertical on the narrow screen. But, please do not auto-size as Vovici does; this "feature" killed them for us because iOS then placed the keyboard on top of the Next button. Vovici's answer was: Use our app, not the browser! So you want us to require our customers to install your app? Not Okay. Anyway, if you can keep the survey looking good and reliable on iOS 6.1 and above on Safari, our group will be happy with it.
Thank you

Survey Builder Info

About a year ago ABD-DBA requested some documentation on Apex Survey Builder. He got no answer. I've found only this:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=67351:help:109647865776560::NO:::
Anybody else found something better??
Problem: in order to view it you need to be logged in (why) to apex.oracle.com. If the colon causes you trouble, this will get you to the same place: v.gd/u1Xl2W
If you create a simple survey and export it, you can see the XML and from there pretty easily see what it's doing.

How do I add an image in Survey Builder?

I am trying to build a survey in Survey Builder where images are part of the questions and/or the answers. Any idea how I could do this? I am an APEX novice.
Thanks,
Sara

Survey Builder does not have support for images in questions or answers. You cannot put markup in question or answer text.
You can, however, put markup in section introduction messages. So if a section that introduces a group of questions has an image in it then the questions can refer to the image. Survey Builder will not manage the images for you so they should already be accessible by some URL that the survey questionnaire has access to (meaning if the survey is public the images should not be behind a firewall or require authentication to access).
Create a section for each image you want to ask questions about. In the introduction message add an image tag. For example a section introduction message could be:
The next few questions relate to the following image:<br>
<img src="http://example.com/images/icon00012.png">
Then add questions to each section about the image.

Did you get your link from "Manage Respondents"?
I usually get a link like
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=67351:Q::ABCD::::
(this is an example that doesn't point to a real live survey).
http://178.110.201.231:7777/apex/f?p=105:Q::AAL8:::code:AQDQEIWJAUWVCGGZ
did not work for me, maybe because of your specific IP:port in the URL. Sometimes the colons ::: create a problem when copying/pasting to email, so I use a service such as is.gd to transform it into a simpler URL like
http://is.gd/B7hxIl
Does that help?

How to use dynamic list box in survey builder?

Hello,
Could someone give me a little bit of thread? How to use dynamic list box in survey builder?

Hi Liu,
Dynamic combo boxes::A combo box is dynamic if it references a document property for which a value set is defined in the configuration (System Administration ® System Configuration ® Content Management ® Global Services ® Property Metadata ® Properties ® Parameter Allowed Values).
At runtime (when you open the creation form) the system reads these values from the configuration and displays them in the dropdown list.
If you link a combo box for which list entries already exist to a document property with a value set, the system asks whether you want to delete the list entries. it is recommend that you accept this suggestion and delete the list entries from the XML Forms Builder. Otherwise inconsistencies could arise between the entries in the XML Forms Builder and the value set in the configuration. This can cause errors when saving.
Also you may Refer the Link for Further help:

Survey Builder

I'm using the packaged Survey Builder application and have a need to be able to edit the responses to a survey. I don't think this is currently possible. What would it take for me to add this functionality?

Hi Glen,
First you may be interested in this blog post I wrote with some details of how Survey Builder works and why.
Survey Builder Design
Sounds like you have already figured out some of it.
Do you want some admin to be able to edit responses or the end user that first filled out the questionnaire?
I think that what an admin can do should be limited to coding free text questions responses and invalidating entire questionnaire responses. Neither of these features currently exist. Coding responses could be done outside survey builder or you could use excluded questions to hold the coded answers. This sort of thing and other edits can be done without changing the questionnaire. The responses are not stored in a blob but are stored in the eba_sb_question_responses and related tables. You could create admin UI for these types of edits.
To allow an end user to return to the questionnaire and change their answers could be a little tricky. The page is intended to be static so there is no reasonable way to insert the previous answers while the page is being generated because it is pre generated and the same for all users for all time. The initial ajax "start" request was intended to fetch previous answers if that functionality was ever needed. You would need to change the questionnaire inline JavaScript and the corresponding server side dynamic ajax processes. The "start" request would fetch the previous answers and return them to the client as JSON. On the client side the JavaScript code would load the answers into the correct UI elements essentially doing the inverse of getQuestionResults. There is also current logic that when a URL for a questionnaire that has already been filled out is used an error is given. That would need to be changed to allow returning to the questionnaire.
Hope this helps.

FAQ Builder and Survey Builder Portlet

I am currently using Oracle Portal Version: 9.0.2.2 and am not able to find the FAQ Builder and Survey Builder Portlet.
Is this not shipped with this version?
How can I go about adding these to my pages?

The first version of Portal in which the survey portlet appeared is: 9.0.4.0.99.

Portal Survey builder portlet

Hi!
Portal 9.0.4.1 Survey works ok. What troubles me, what privileges must a user have to be able to use survey builder portlet? So far i've found out that PORTAL_ADMINISTRATORS can do that. But this group has way to much privileges in portal to be used for some user only for building surveys. My questions is? Is there a way to create a portal user group that has privileges to use the survey builder portlet - and only that? I've tried to assign "manage" privileges to portlet DB provider in "providers" navigator... no success.
Regards,
Mihael

Hi MIHAEL,
I ran into the same problem and after researching on Metalink I found that this is a somewhat documented internal bug, with no work around or fix available.
You can find info by searching this bug number on the Metalink forum - [Bug:2907863]
Here are some excerpts from Metalink:
"The fix for the bug would require either forcing a refresh of the Portlet Repository at the end of an upgrade - which is very undesireable - or reworking the way the Survey system provides security which would be a very extensive and hazardous change.
This bug is not feasible to fix.
Fix by:10.0 version. not yet released"
Hope this helps...

Survey Builder: trying to copy a survey but nothing happens

I am trying to copy a survey. I click on the <browse icon>, then select an item from the list and then click the Copy button but nothing happens. The Edit and Delete buttons work but the Copy button does not. When I click the Copy button, the form does a submit and the Name field clears. Nothing else happens. Should I be doing something else to make the Copy function work?
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Here is the url of the documentation we used to verify what should happen after clicking the Copy button:
http://oraclepartnernetwork.oracle.com/help/copysrvy.htm
To copy a survey, poll, or test:
1. In the Edit section of the Survey Builder portlet, click the radio button next to the type of survey you want to copy, either Survey, Poll, or Test.
2. Click the Browse icon () next to the Name field.
This opens a list with the names of all the available surveys of the type you indicated in step 1. For example, if you clicked the radio button next to Poll, then clicked the Browse icon, the resulting window will list all of the polls that are available to you. But it will not contain the names of any surveys or tests.
3. From the resulting list, select the survey, poll, or test you want to copy.
This closes the list window and populates the Name field.
4. Click the Copy button.
5. In the To field in the resulting window, enter the name you want to assign to the copy.
6.Click the Copy button.
7.In the resulting confirmation dialog, click OK.
Steps 1 to 4 work but we cannot get past step 5 because the resulting window with the To field does not appear after the Copy button is clicked.

Need Matrix Style Report...

I need to create a matrix style report. There is a template for matrix reports in Oracle Report Writer, but not in APEX. My report should have a list of countries going down and a list of species going across with data showing how many for each country, each species.
Example of report:
Species Pollack Whiting Tuna
Country
China 5 6 10
Chile 1 2 1
Japan 4 4 8
How do I build this?

Is this in Oracle 11g?? If so, you could use the pivot function in your sql to build the output data..

How to build a Matrix with Group Left Report

I want to build a Matrix with Group Left Report,not Matrix with Group Above Report,i am still finding the solution, any help is useful.
thanks
<[email protected]>

Hi,
The problem in your output is not clear. The report output should appear like:
Order Mode.....Sales_Rep_ID > 10..11..12..
Online.........Order Status
...............A..............x....x...x
...............B..............x....x...x
...............C..............x....x...x
Order Mode.....Sales_Rep_ID > 10..11..12..
Retail.........Order Status
...............A..............x....x...x
...............B..............x....x...x
...............C..............x....x...x
Here "Order Mode" is the group field (it repeats for every group). Could you pl specify what output you are getting?
If the problem is that you don't want the Title (like "Order Mode" in the above example) to print in every group, just place it outside the group repeating frame. It will print only once.

Matrix Style title effects

Does anyone know how to get a matrix style title effect and whether it can be done in Livetype or Motion, or is there a good plug-in for it?

There's no accounting for taste. The first Matrix was great. The other two...just showing off...story severely lacking.
But I have to agree with Randy...BATTLEFIELD EARTH was truly a pile. As was BATMAN & ROBIN with The Gubernator Arnold.
But are we going to turn this into a thread of what was the worse movie ever made? Hmmmm....

Matrix Style Reports

Hi,
I'd be interested in ideas for producing a matrix-style report (similar to that possible with Oracle Discoverer or Pivot Tables in spreadsheets). Example below. I've tried dynamic SQL (report based on function returning a SQL query) but this quickly gets very complex.
Are API's available (similar to the form item api's) for laying out HTMLDB sytle report headings and rows directly ?
Matrix Example
Imagine you have sales data by product and date e.g.
Product Date Sales
A 2003 100
A 2004 75
B 2003 50
I would like to display a matrix report similar to
Sales 2003 2004 ...
A 100 75
B 50 ...

htmldb currently installs with a package called wwv_flow_rewrite_query. it's not technically supported, but it's really solid code ...and i think it does pretty much what you're hoping to do (pivot sql query). if you look in your $OHS_HOME/marvel directory you should see a file there called wwv_flow_rewrite_query.sql. fortunately that package isn't wrapped. better yet, it's loaded down with documentation. i'd take a look there to see about your report. if you have questions on the concepts (not the package), the author can be found discussing the topic at...
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:766825833740,
...but basically, you'd us the package to rewrite your query, returning wwv_flow_rewrite_query.as_pivot to the htmldb reporting engine in your Function Returning SQL Query region.
...hope this helps,

Problem in matrix style report

i have generate a matrix style report which has 5 X 4 = 20 cells . now in the report all cell values should not be filled according to the data in the tables but every cell in the report is filled . and more is that the filled values in the cell which are supposed to be blank is repeated from other cells . what is this problem and how to correct it ? i have an idea that this might be some varibale issue but cant figure it out .plz somebody help me out from this

Hi,
This problem of REP-1813 because,the data fetched into a matrix cell exceeds the capacity of the cell--
e.g., the cell may contain a variable field, and the data may be longer than expected.
Therefore, to solve this issue u may want to either enlarge your matrix cells until they are able to contain the data fetched into them, or redefine your data.
