Errors and Feedback Messages


eSurvey attempts to give users as much consistent feedback as possible regarding its ability to operate. Feedback is supplied to users in two main forms.

The first form of user feedback is via popup alert boxes. Alerts are used to convey information regarding the success of an action. For example, an alert will be displayed to notify users when they've successfully saved a survey. Alert boxes may also be used to convey warnings, errors, or other informational messages. Alert boxes always begin with a message type ([SUCCESS], [WARNING], [ERROR]).

The second form of user feedback has to do with eSurveys ability to display form errors. In cases where an error can be traced to a specific form field on the screen, eSurvey will highlight the offending form field red and will display an exclamation icon to its left. An example of this can been seen when trying to save a survey without also specifying a Survey Name. When trying to save the survey, eSurvey can trace the source of the error to the Survey Name field being blank. Users may view detailed descriptions of the errors generated by clicking on the exclamation icons next to each form field.
