In the interest of showcasing what can be done with plugins, I’d like to open this thread up so that everyone can share some use cases with these powerful tools.
One interesting example that I know of involved a user who wanted to know the distance of respondents from a certain restaurant. They used URL Import to import the latitude and longitude of the restaurant into the Google Map plugin. They would then bring up the survey on an iPad and allow respondents to select their location in relation to the restaurant.
They found that by using the plugin, they were able to add a lot of visual impact and usability to their survey.
This is just one of the many clever uses of plugins. I look forward to seeing the other ways everyone is using these wonderful tools!

Lets imagine customer launched his survey anonymously. Then, when all of respondents took the survey he realized that would have been great for additional statistics if he could track where respondents took it from. But the survey is already taken. What to do?!
Here comes our IP Address Saver plugin ). Even though the survey is completed our plugin can pull IP addresses of respondents into report. Customer just needs to add a single-line question in his survey and set up IP saver plugin. Then, he would want to resubmit all responses using Edit option. All resubmitted responses will contain IP addresses.
Yes, it is that easy).

Okay, here is a simple one- but an effective one!
Customer wants to ask 5 open-ended questions and they know 90% of respondents will be answering on mobile devices. It is key that the survey retains a simple, clean image. The problem is, that when Customer previews and tests the survey on a mobile device, the survey requires a lot of scrolling and seems cumbersome and intimadating to respondents. The customer adjusts some CSS to reduce the inconvenience of scrolling etc, but it's not enough.
Comment Box Plugin to the rescue!
Customer inserts a 'visual and interactive' plugin known as Comment Box Plugin. When this plugin is set up - an interactive text bubble pops up, allowing respondents a comfortable space to answer and review their open-ended questions.
Now Customer changes all questions from "multi-line text" to "single-line text" question type. This significantly reduces the amount of space used in the survey! All 5 open-ended questions and single-line comment boxes fit into the survey at a size that no longer requires scrolling or pages! Customer's respondents will still be able to compose and review thier text entries comfortably because as soon as a mouse click is made into the single-line text box, the comment box pops up.
The cool visual adds a certain level of professionalism and expertise to Customer's survey, and because it's so mobile-friendly, Customer's response rate is very high!

An organization is researching vendors for a new product or service. You have a checklist of information you need from each vendor. Your old process is to send an email to each vendor requesting information. Maybe you have your list of questions in the email, or for the terminally organized you have an Excel spreadsheet with your list of questions. Vendors answer the questions and return them to you by the deadline, and now you have to find some way to organize the information and compare the vendors.
WorldAPP makes it easy for you to collect information from your vendors and compare the data. Now, with the Page Selector plugin, it is also easy for the vendors to pass this web form around their organization so that each department can fill out the pages that are relevant to them! With this plugin you can add tabs to the header and/or footer of your survey, and your respondent can navigate to a specific page by clicking on the tab.
When I created my survey, I added a Section Header at the top of each page, labelling the content on the page. My survey has a page for Contact Info, Functionality, Security, Company, and Additional Information. I added my page breaks between each section of questions. The Page Selector plugin can be found on your Rules -> Plugins page, under the Visual and Interactive category. When I insert this plugin, I simply reference the first question on each page, and voila! An easy to manage tabbed form!
I also used the "Save and Finish Later" button in my footer, so that my respondents can save their progress, and submit the form at a later date!
This is just one of the many uses for the Page Selector plugin! Enjoy!-
I want to try this - how is the form passed around for departments to fill in the different sections? Do you have to generate a unique link for each organization which members can then forward to one another? Can they see each other's responses?

Hello, Liz!
To have a form which you can pass around for departments you will need to generate a unique link. This is how it could be done:
1. Take a list of the emails (it could be the actual emails or the fake list) and use Launch-->Email survey distribution option to either enter them manually or upload a .CSV files with the emails list using "Import email list for bulk survey distribution", and then hit Send Email.
*Note - if you will use real emails - they will be sent to recipients.
2. Then, after sending emails completed, go back to the Surveys tab, find your survey and hit on Manage Responses button. You will see a list of sent emails, but you need to scroll to the very bottom of the page and hit Download Status report. This will give you the file that will contain the list of all the emails and their unique links.
3. Go to the Rules page of the survey and set 'Respondent may return and modify their response' rule. This will allow those who use one of the unique links to come back and edit the response.
In your case, you can use these links (along with the rule 'Respondent may return..' set) to send to needed respondents, and they will be able to pass it around their group.
I hope this answer your question! -

The Registration and Authentication plugins are "married" to each other; that is, to use one you must also use the other. Although it's a polygamous marriage, since one Registration form can be associated with multiple Authenticated surveys or forms.
Basically, if you have surveys or forms in which respondents should be required to log in to, you can start out by creating a registration survey and then set up authentication on any other survey or surveys in your account.
In this example, a teacher has set up a "Register for Classes" form. When new students log into the form and register, they create a login and password. This registration form is attached to some online tests and a class feedback survey via the Authentication plugin.
The first thing we do is create our Register for Classes form. In that form, we add a Single Line Text question with three rows: Login ID, Password, and Re-enter Password. If there is any other content in the registration form, we want to make note of which question is our Login/Password question. On the survey's Rules page, click the "Plugins" button. The Registration plugin is under the category, "Registration and Authentication". After you insert the Registration plugin, you need to specify the question number and answer row for the Login (Q1.A1), Password (Q1.A2) and Re-enter Password (Q1.A3). Then Save.
Now we can require password authentication on any other survey or form in our account. While we're still in our Registration form, I'm going to navigate to the survey's Launch page and grab the survey ID. The survey ID is part of the Master ULR; It is the 6-digit number that comes just after /survey/. We'll need this number to designate which form we're going to authenticate from.
When I set up my surveys and forms with password authentication, I'm going to add a single line text question with a login and password field. This is usually question 1. Then I'll go to my plugins page and insert the Authentication plugin. I'll enter the survey ID (SID) of the Registration form in the designated space, and also notate which question and answer field my Login (Q1.A1) and Password (Q1.A2) will be entered into.Then click Save.
And Voila! Registration and Authentication plugins are set up successfully! -
