| N 14:03 | RefractSurvey Themes and Branding diffhist +1,444 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "RefractSurvey can look a little more like ''your'' tool, rather than an out-of-the-box install, in two small ways: its name and its color theme. thumb|center|600px|The Application Config page, with all 15 color themes. == Color themes == From '''Manage > Application Config''', pick from 15 color themes — all dark, with just the accent color and background tint changing between them. That includes an animated '''Rainbow''' opt...") | ||||
| N 14:02 | RefractSurvey Feature Inventory diffhist +3,520 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "A quick, scannable checklist of everything RefractSurvey can do right now. Every item links to a page with more detail. == Organizing your work == * Unlimited projects, each keeping its surveys, codes, and media completely separate * Unlimited surveys per project — draft, active, or closed * Groups for organizing a survey's questions into sections, shown one at a time to respondents * D...") | ||||
| N 14:01 | RefractSurvey Users diffhist +2,103 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "Every person who signs in to manage surveys — as opposed to an anonymous respondent using an access code — has a '''user''' account. thumb|center|600px|The Users list, under Manage. == Creating a user == From '''Manage > Users''', create a new account with a username, password, and display name.

| N 14:01 | RefractSurvey Analytics diffhist +2,086 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "'''Analytics''' is the aggregated, at-a-glance view of everyone's answers to a survey — charted automatically, with no setup required. It's the page you land on first when you click "Responses" for a survey; individual, response-by-response answers are one click away from there (see Responses). thumb|center|600px|Analytics for a survey, with a pie chart for one of its questions. == What gets charted...") | ||||

| N 13:58 | RefractSurvey Upgrading diffhist +2,794 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "Upgrading RefractSurvey is two separate things: getting the new '''files''' onto your server, and letting the '''database''' catch up. This is a technical page — if something here doesn't make sense, an upgrade is a good time to ask whoever manages your server. == Step 1: Copy the new files over == Unzip the new release somewhere on the server, then from inside it, run: <pre> sudo refractsurvey_server/upgrade.sh </pre> This copies the new application files over...") | ||||
| N 13:58 | RefractSurvey Questions diffhist +2,418 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "Questions are the actual content of your survey — each one lives inside a group and asks for one piece of information. See Question Types for the full list of what kinds of questions you can ask. == Building a question == From a survey's builder page, add a question to any group and choose its type, its text, and whether it's required. Markdown is supported in question...") | ||||
| N 13:57 | RefractSurvey Markdown Formatting diffhist +1,613 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "RefractSurvey supports a small set of text formatting, called markdown, in question text and in long-text answers. It's deliberately simple — just enough to make instructions and longer answers easier to read, without turning into a full word processor. == What you can use == {| class="wikitable" ! You type !! You get |- | <nowiki>**bold**</nowiki> || '''bold''' |- | <nowiki>*italic*</nowiki> || ''italic'' |- | <nowiki>++underline++</nowiki> || underline |- | <no...") | ||||
| N 13:57 | RefractSurvey Question Types diffhist +2,264 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "RefractSurvey supports the following question types. Most of them collect an answer; a few are just there to add context. == Types that collect an answer == {| class="wikitable" ! Type !! What it's for |- | Short text || A single line of free text |- | Long text (paragraph) || A multi-line answer, with a live markdown preview as the respondent types |- | Email address || A single line, checked to make sure it looks like a real emai...") | ||||
| N 13:56 | RefractSurvey Media Library diffhist +1,528 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "The '''Media Library''' is where a project's images live, ready to be used in an image question. thumb|center|600px|A project's Media Library, ready for an upload. == Uploading images == From a project's Media Library page (found under Manage), upload JPEG, PNG, GIF, or WebP images up to 8 MB each.

| N 13:55 | RefractSurvey Security Notes diffhist +2,545 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "RefractSurvey handles a number of security details on its own, without needing any configuration from you. This page is a plain-language rundown of what it does and why, for anyone curious or evaluating it for their team. == Logging in == Repeated failed login attempts are automatically slowed down — both for one specific username, and (separately) from one specific visitor — so guessing at a password isn't a fast or practical way in. A handful of teammates...") | ||||
| N 13:54 | RefractSurvey Codes diffhist +2,041 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "An '''access code''' is how someone gets permission to take a survey, without needing an account, an email address, or anything else. Each code works exactly once. thumb|center|600px|The Access Codes page for a survey, showing used and unused codes. == Getting a code == From a survey's Codes page, generate as many codes as you need, optionally with a batch label (for example, "Homeroom 4B" or "Discord giveaway") to help you keep track...") | ||||
| N 13:54 | RefractSurvey Responses diffhist +1,914 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "A '''response''' is one respondent's complete set of answers to a survey. Every response was submitted using a one-time access code, so there's exactly one response per code that's ever been used. == Reading responses == From a survey, the "Responses" link takes you to Analytics first — the aggregated, charted view across every response. "Individual responses" is one click away from there, and shows each respond...") | ||||
| N 13:53 | RefractSurvey Backups diffhist +2,303 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "'''Backups''' are how you get survey data out of RefractSurvey (or bring it into a different project or install) as a single downloadable file. == Exporting == From '''Manage > Backups''', choose which surveys in the current project to export, and whether to include their responses. RefractSurvey packages everything — the chosen surveys' structure, their images, optionally their responses, and your entire shared template library &md...") | ||||
| N 13:52 | RefractSurvey Templates diffhist +2,417 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "A '''template''' is a saved survey shape — its groups and questions — that you can reuse to start a new survey without rebuilding it from scratch every time. thumb|center|600px|The shared Templates library. == Shared across every project == Templates aren't tied to any one project — they're a single, shared library for your whole install, found under '''Manage > Templates'''. That mea...") | ||||
| N 13:51 | RefractSurvey Groups diffhist +1,509 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "A '''group''' is how a survey is broken into sections — a way to put related questions together, like "About You," "Playtest Impressions," or "Steam Page Feedback." The built-in "Indie Game Feedback" template uses four groups: Steam, Playtest, About You, and Marketing & Presentation. thumb|center|600px|A survey builder page, with several groups and their questions....") | ||||
| N 13:51 | RefractSurvey Surveys diffhist +2,509 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "A '''survey''' is a set of questions you want answered — a playtest form, a post-launch feedback survey, whatever you need real answers on. Every survey lives inside a project and is made up of one or more groups of questions. thumb|center|600px|A project's survey list, showing status, codes, and response counts. == Creating a survey == From a...") | ||||
| N 13:50 | RefractSurvey Projects diffhist +2,230 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "A '''project''' is the top-level container in RefractSurvey. Every survey, every access code, and every uploaded image belongs to exactly one project. thumb|center|600px|The Projects list, under Manage. == Why projects exist == If you're working on more than one game, or you want to keep an internal team survey cleanly separate from a public playtest, projects are how you do that. There's no limit on how many you can create, and no...") | ||||
| N 13:49 | RefractSurvey Permissions and Roles diffhist +3,543 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "RefractSurvey's permission system controls exactly what each user can see and do, down to a fairly fine level of detail. This page explains how the pieces fit together. thumb|center|600px|The Roles list, showing the built-in Admin role and a custom "Surveyor" preset. == Permissions == Every permission is a noun (what it applies to) and a verb (what it lets you do), like <code>surveys:publish</code> or <code>code...") | ||||
| N 13:48 | RefractSurvey Getting Started diffhist +3,456 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "This page walks through installing RefractSurvey by hand on a server you've already got. If you're starting from a completely bare Linux box and want the setup automated for you, see Automated Server Setup instead — it does everything below for you plus the server-level setup. == What you'll need == * A web server running '''Apache''' with <code>mod_rewrite</code> available (clean URLs are optional but recommended) * '''PH...") | ||||
| N 13:47 | RefractSurvey Automated Server Setup diffhist +2,407 Nerdofepic talk contribs (Created page with "If you've got a bare Debian or Ubuntu server (even a small one) and want RefractSurvey running on it with HTTPS, <code>refractsurvey_server/prereqs.sh</code> does the whole job for you interactively — no need to hand-install Apache, PHP, or a database first. '''This is a technical, server-administration page.''' If you already have a server set up with PHP/MySQL and just want to drop RefractSurvey onto it, see Getting Started inst...") | ||||
