1. Confidentiality Support to Protect Survey Respondents

BlueX 2.1 introduces confidentiality modes, enforces response thresholds, and controls demographic data visibility. These capabilities safeguard respondent anonymity while allowing meaningful analysis and targeted follow-up, supporting ethical feedback aligned with organizational policies.

2. Workspaces for Governance and Organization

With the introduction of Personal and Shared Workspaces, teams can organize surveys and content using unlimited folder hierarchies matching real team structures.

Permission and approval workflow inheritance ensures governance follows content as it moves, preventing policy bypass and preserving organizational ownership, traceability, and continuity as teams and roles change.

3. Report Widgets Embedded Directly in the Editor

Users can now insert live data widgets directly into the BlueX editor. Widgets can be embedded within surveys, announcements, blogs, newsletters, and other communications.

These widgets visualize insights drawn from any survey in BlueX, updating in real-time and allowing teams to tell compelling data stories with an opportunity for additional feedback rather than sending static reports.

4. QR Code Support for Simplified Participation

To reduce friction and accelerate participation, QR codes and public URLs are now available directly within the publishing workflow.

Print-ready files with QR code and links enable offline sharing on posters, handouts, or presentations. This frictionless access drives faster survey completion across physical, virtual, or hybrid environments.

Built to Support Scalable, Responsible Feedback

BlueX 2.1 is more than a feature upgrade, it’s a strategic enhancement that reinforces your feedback ecosystem’s trustworthiness, governance, engagement, and operational efficiency.

As feedback continues to evolve beyond traditional surveys, BlueX 2.1 ensures institutions are equipped with the flexible structure needed to listen confidently and act with clarity across every touchpoint.
