nSurvey 1.6 Released

nSurvey

"NSurvey V1.6 is now available from the release download section.

I've added some cool features to support large corporate or universities environment. The most important feature is the support and administration for multi users. As I based everything on my new 'user provider' model you can easily integrate and adapt nsurvey to your existing users or security infrastructure by creating your own user provider.

Another cool feature is that you can create a custom answer type based on your own home made sql queries. This will let you expose and use existing data in your surveys / forms. For those who can't let users do Sql queries you can of course disable this functionality from the web.config.

Here are the change log for v1.6 :

- New "User provider model" that let you unleash any existing infrastructure by implementing
your own security provider to manage nsurvey user logins and authentication modes
- Full support and administration for multiple users / survey admins
- Added roles support to manage rights
- 25+ rights available to secure each single nsurvey feature for each of your users
- Default user provider can be set in "single user mode" to run without authentication and
multiple user management features
- Skip logic rules can be added to hide questions depending on user's answers on previous pages
- Branching rules can now be created based on current and previous pages questions
- Rules conditions have been extended to support equals, contains, greater than and less than
- XML based answer types are now mandatory in the answer process
- Question numbering can now be disabled / enabled from the admin interface.
- The ShowQuestionNumbers property on surveybox has been removed.
- Added a new answer type based on custom SQL queries to retrieve and show data from your own tables / database
- Piping of previous answers, querystring, session, server variables is supported in SQL queries based answer types

Fixed
-----
- Dropdownlist question control didn't check if there was already a selected item in the drop downlist
in case a layout change from single to multiple answers with multiple default answers occured
- Custom answer types description didnt show up in the question answers editor..."

The very cool nSurvey has released v1.6...
