Mastering SurveyPro:
Auditing Projects and Creating Templates

Do your files suffer from "Copy of Copy of" syndrome?

Are you trying to puzzle out your predecessor's surveys?

Ever wish SurveyPro let you create a custom template or library of questions?

Then this is the module for you!

Learn how to systematically review a SurveyPro file to understand its contents and history (and occasionally, baggage). Or learn how to create templates that will jump start all your projects. You'll also find best practices for how to maintain clean SurveyPro files, and reference information on time saving features like the Object Tree and Report Labels dialog.
