K2's Top Tips for Data Collection and Surveys - On Demand (2 Hours)

  • $79.00


Course Description

Web portals and “low-code/no-code” data collection and survey tools have changed how we collect data.  Modern solutions like Microsoft 365 Forms, Zoho Survey, SurveyMonkey, and Microsoft PowerApps as well as legacy tools like Adobe Acrobat Forms allow users to create web forms and integrate the resulting data into business process workflows.  This session will provide an introduction to the range of available tools, demonstrate some common features, and will show how some tools permit users to expose or conceal questions based on answers given earlier in the survey.  Attend this session to learn how you can use tools you likely already own to efficiently collect data from your team, your customers, and your vendors.
