• 14:02, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Feature Inventory (Created page with "A quick, scannable checklist of everything RefractSurvey can do right now.

• 14:01, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Analytics (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...")
• 13:58, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Upgrading (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...")
• 13:58, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Questions (Created page with "Questions are the actual content of your survey — each one lives inside a group and asks for one piece of information.

Markdown is supported in question...")
• 13:57, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Markdown Formatting (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...")

Most of them collect an answer; a few are just there to add context. == Types that collect an answer == {| class="wikitable" ! Type !!

• 13:55, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Security Notes (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...")
• 13:54, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Codes (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...")
• 13:54, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Responses (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...")
• 13:53, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Backups (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.

• 13:52, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Templates (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...")
• 13:51, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Groups (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....")
• 13:51, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Surveys (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.

• 13:50, 13 September 2026 Nerdofepic talk contribs created page RefractSurvey Projects (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.

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...")
