The post Redirecting a WebHost survey link to a Snap XMP Online survey link appeared first on SnapSurveys.

Snap XMP consists of three products:

• Snap XMP Desktop is the latest version of Snap Surveys’ Windows based software.
• Snap XMP Online is the new web based product that lets you build and run surveys from your web browser.
• Interviewer is an offline survey app that lets you run an online survey, without the need for a reliable internet connection.

As part of the process of moving onto using Snap XMP you will need to transfer your existing Snap 11 surveys to the latest version of the software.

Background

In Snap XMP Desktop there are two types of survey; online surveys and offline surveys.

Online surveys are surveys that are available in both Snap XMP Desktop and Snap XMP Online. They can be organised in folders that are shown in both applications. The online surveys are kept up to date and the response data synchronized between the two applications.

Offline surveys are surveys that are available in Snap XMP Desktop only. All existing surveys from Snap 11 are available in Offline surveys in the Survey Overview window.

Prerequisites
