How to use Templates in Upsiide
Templates make it easy for you and your team to create study templates, save them, and re-use them repeatedly. Essentially, a Template is a starting point for your study.
Why use a Template?
Do you have set demographic questions or standard questions you use in your studies? If so, Templates can help you to populate a study with these questions quickly. You will spend less time looking for your standard questions and authoring your study and more reviewing your results with your team.
How do I use a Template?
Create a Template to be the base of your study. You can have multiple Templates depending on the types of studies you conduct within Upsiide. A little up-front work now will pay off later!
When it's time to create a study, select create from Template. You can add and delete questions from your Template to address your research objectives.
What can I add to a Template?
Templates can contain:
Statements
Questions (single-select, multi-select and open-end)
Idea Screen
Idea Split
Settings
Logic
Permissions
