Introducing BlueX: The New Survey Tool That Does So Much More

At Explorance, we continually strive to help our customers gather the feedback they need, when they need it. We're committed to staying one step ahead by delivering innovative products that make it easy to capture and analyze feedback for informed decision-making.

BlueX represents our next leap forward toward this end. This powerful and intuitive survey software makes it easy to gather feedback beyond traditional, structured survey methods. BlueX empowers anyone in your organization to create and deploy surveys with ease.

We're incredibly grateful to our fantastic community of beta users whose insights helped shape BlueX into what it is today. We are thrilled to formally introduce BlueX and share seven key reasons why we believe it will become essential to your organization's feedback strategy.

1. A simple, familiar interface means no learning curve.

BlueX was designed to look and feel like you're creating a document in your favorite word-processing software. In fact, you can create your survey form in Microsoft Word or Google Docs and copy and paste the text directly into BlueX. Apply the formatting you like, highlight text, and transform it into questions and answers in a few clicks. Drag and drop graphics directly onto the page or as question-and-answer options, all without HTML coding or uploading into a separate graphic library. It's just that simple!

2. Free-form layouts mean you can create much more than surveys.

Because creating with BlueX is as simple as editing a document, you're not constrained to a traditional "survey" format. What more can you create with BlueX? The possibilities go far beyond surveys:

• Newsletter: Insert columns to create a newsletter that asks the reader's opinion on each article
• Assignments: Create a reading assignment with embedded knowledge check or written response questions
• Forms: Replace hard-to-format fill-in forms and get analytics as the data rolls in.

Select from a variety of pre-set templates and color schemes or upload your own background to create a truly unique and engaging survey experience for the respondent.

3. Put control into individuals’ hands, but also get central visibility if you want it.

When a student or employee needs to gather feedback at your organization, what tool do they use? Where is the data stored? How secure is the platform?

Most organizations are largely unaware of where all this data may be, and scattered data may pose a risk to security and privacy. With BlueX, you can give access to anyone who needs to create a survey, so they don’t have to turn outside to less secure tools. Everyone gets the flexibility to create surveys they see fit, while you get the peace of mind that all ad hoc feedback data is stored in one secure place.

Advanced privacy controls ensure that individuals only see what they’re supposed to, including the ability to block a survey creator from seeing the data that’s collected from a specific form.

Administrators may have advanced visibility to monitor usage organization-wide. Central review and approval controls may also be activated, if desired, which can be useful if you want to limit the number and type of surveys going out at the same time as large organizational initiatives.

4. Multiple survey distribution options for user flexibility

BlueX will integrate with systems of record and support Single Sign-On (SSO) to capture demographic information and connect it to results. If you’d rather not integrate, each user can upload recipients, including relevant demographics to support deeper analysis, and manage their own distribution lists. If sending through email isn’t necessary, you can embed or otherwise distribute a generic link that’s open to anyone.

5. Create together, approve with ease.

With BlueX, sharing surveys is easy, flexible, and built for teamwork. You can co-create surveys with colleagues without passing versions back and forth. Need someone to review and approve it before sending? No problem. BlueX includes a built-in approval workflow, so the right people can give it the green light.

6. Fix, update, keep it seamless

If you need to make a change after the survey goes live, BlueX allows you to do that without creating another version, changing the link, or alerting respondents. Behind the scenes, BlueX keeps track of each version, so when it’s time to analyze results, you’ll know exactly which responses came from which version. It’s collaboration, control, and clarity—all in one platform!

7. It’s easy to get started!

BlueX’s simple design allows you to transfer your existing surveys easily. Just copy/paste, then click and format. BlueX is available for site-wide use or individual license with various plans that cater to your needs.
