poll&roll is Discurv’s marketing-research platform. It covers the whole cycle of a survey: designing the questionnaire, collecting the responses, analyzing the results and producing the report. All in one place.
The poll&roll interface is available in French and English. Pick your language from the dropdown in the navigation bar: the choice is saved on your account and applies to all your visits, as well as to the notification e-mails poll&roll sends you. French is the default, and the users you invite start with your language.
This page introduces the concepts to know before you start. You do not need to be a research expert: every term is explained as it comes up.

The platform’s three modules

The platform is built around three main modules.

Questionnaire editor

The interface where you build and configure your questionnaire.

Respondent questionnaire

What participants see when they answer (the respondent front end).

Deliverables

The heart of the analysis: results, visualizations, reports and exports.

The survey, your unit of work

Everything revolves around the survey. A survey brings together a questionnaire, its response collection and its results. It is the object you create, share and analyze. You work through each survey via a series of tabs, in a logical order: the questionnaire, then data collection, then the results, and finally the report.

The statuses of a survey

A survey goes through four successive statuses, driven from the Launch tab: Draft (the survey is editable, you build the questionnaire), Pending (you put the fieldwork online), Fieldwork (responses come in live), then Complete (fieldwork is closed: no further interview is added and the results are final).
Launching the fieldwork locks the questionnaire: it can no longer be edited until the survey is switched back to Draft. Check everything before you launch.

The basic vocabulary

A few terms come up constantly. Here are the essentials.
No need to remember all of this now. Each concept is detailed in the step where it comes up (the target and quotas in Data collection, weighting in Results).
