====== Overview ======

SoSci Survey is a professional tool for your online survey. It is extremely flexible and efficient. There is no need to install any software. SoSci Survey is running on a survey server, i.e. [[https://www.soscisurvey.de/|SoSciSurvey.de]], and is handled through your internet browser.

Companies, organizations and universities may host SoSci Survey on their own server ([[en:server:start|Installation on a web server]], [[https://www.soscisurvey.de/index.php?page=pricing&l=eng|Pricing and Fees]]).

**Tip:** The [[:en:create:basics|Quick Start]] contains a 10-20 minute guide through SoSci Survey. The [[https://​www.soscisurvey.de/​de/​screencast|Video Tutorials]] will explain this with more details. If you need more complex features (e.g., filter questions) later, this instructions manual will provide more details.

**Tip:** This manual is a wiki. You are welcome to optimize the texts (readability, examples, etc.) and add solutions (filter questions, question layout, etc.). Simply login with your SoSci password and [[contribute|Improve the Manual]].
