In July we let you know that we were working hard to make some changes in BOS that our users have asked for. Last month we announced the introduction of Piping. Today we are happy to announce a raft of new Dashboard and Admin tools.
The changes we’ve made vary depending on your account type, so take a look below to see what changes have been made for you. Admin users can check their account type by clicking Manage in the top-right of the Dashboard and selecting the account name.
New Dashboard tools
Single-user, Project and Organisation accounts
Retain last Dashboard view
BOS will keep your filtered Dashboard view when you leave the Dashboard and return, until you reset the view or sign out.
Export a list of your surveys
You can export a list of your surveys and key information in a CSV file.
Project and Organisation accounts
View a survey’s contact on the Dashboard
You can view – and sort by – Survey Contacts on your Dashboard.
Organisation account
Just my surveys
Your default Dashboard view will just list surveys for which you are the Survey Contact. Unchecking the new ‘Just my Surveys’ filter will change the view to list all the surveys in the account that you have permissions for.
Filter surveys by Survey Contact
In addition to being able to view – and sort by – who the Survey Contact is for surveys on your Dashboard, Organisation account users can filter by Survey Contact using the existing filter tool.
Bulk delete surveys
You can select multiple surveys to delete at the same time.
New Admin tools
Project and Organisation accounts
Export a list of your users
Admin users can export a list of account users in a CSV file.
Organisation accounts
Permissions for other users’ surveys
All surveys in the account are now viewable on an Admin’s dashboard if they uncheck ‘Just my surveys’. To help Admin users manage surveys in the account, without exposing data, Admin users now have the following permissions on all surveys:
- Preview: view the survey from a respondent’s point of view and export a PDF of the survey’s questions.
- Manage: view the Survey Launchpad and delete the survey.
- Read-only permissions: view the permissions list for the survey,
Bulk invite
Admin users can invite up to 100 new users at a time with our new bulk invite tool.
Other enhancements
More reminder emails
We’ve increased the number of allowed reminder emails from two to four, meaning you can now send each respondent five emails using BOS’s integrated email tool.
