What's New

February have seen a number of features and bug fixes released across both surveys and the dashboard.

1.0 Survey

1.1. Answer later


Answer later button on completion cards. This is just a shortcut for minimizing the survey, which is what we want to encourage respondents to do while they complete their task in a top task survey. You can customise your own text for ‘answer later’. Go to Survey > Details.

1.2 Reduced cookie size


Greatly reduced the size of the cookies used by Skyra. Some customers reported issues with our cookie size causing some problems. We’ve been able to cut the average size in half.

1.3 Lock survey to domain


Lock cookie to specific domain. By default our cookie is defined so it’ll work across subdomains but some times you don’t want survey sessions to cross into subdomains and now this can be disabled per survey.

1.4 Additional language support


Since a client wanted to use Skyra in Brazil and Germany, we added survey standard texts in Portuguese and German.

2.0 Dashboard

2.1 Recruitment dashboard (Highlight)


We’ve released a first version of our recruitment dashboard. If you use the survey for recruiting, those who sign up will be added to your contact list. Filter contacts by survey, task and completion and find the right people to reach out to.

It’s easy to copy your contacts into a spreadsheet using the ‘Copy’ button.

2.2 Keyboard shortcuts


Press h to show available shortcuts to speed up using Skyra.

2.3 Segment view and stats


Segments are shown in a table format. Click on a segment to view segment stats.

2.4 User profile


A profile page so you can update your name

2.5 URL view


A new URL column in responses tables to see which urls the respondent responded from. You can adjust how url’s are shown with the View control.

2.6 Improved invite and sign-in emails


New emails that look 10x better. The old were so primitive we feared some would think it were spam emails.

You can now add names when you invite new users. Name fills in automatically if the email uses first and last name with the following format: ola.nordmann@skyra.no

3.0 Help articles


We have started compiling help articles on how to use Skyra. We will publish more on a regular bases.

Bug and performance fixes


  • We've squashed some bugs to improve the overall performance and stability of our tool.

  • Surveys on top level domains with second level domains (SLDs) such as com.br or .co.uk for example, are now fixed.

  • Compression on all systems: Some of you reported that certain parts did not have text compression enabled

  • Overall performance resulting in faster page loads in the dashboard

  • A number of minor bugs where updating something would not be reflected in the UI
