Surveys section already existed on Veeva’s iPad app. This project involved adapting this section for their iPhone app. Working with the PM, I learned there were several considerations I needed to be aware of.

First, Surveys are not like a traditional survey in that it’s not a linear experience. The analogy presented to me was “clipboard style” — where a user can jump to any question and answer only questions they want (other than required).

Second, what happens if a user answers a question that has a branching question (child question). How does this get denoted in the question list.

And lastly, what happens when there is an error where a required question(s) or required child question(s) have not been answered.
