Design professional surveys and forms easily
With SPSS Data Entry's drag-and-drop form design, you can copy and paste sample questions and responses from the question library or other surveys. The Quick Tour and online tutorials help you design great-looking surveys and online entry forms in no time.

When you create your survey, ask questions to encourage complete responses, such as "choose one," "select all that apply," or open-ended text. With the SPSS Data Entry Toolbox, just point and click to the type of question you want to add to your survey. Plus, you can format your questions any way you like, including check box, buttons and lists for paper surveys, and drop-down lists and option buttons for online forms.

With SPSS Data Entry, you've got all the design tools you need to lay out and customize your form, such as the ability to add annotations, pictures and graphics.

As you build your survey, SPSS Data Entry automatically sets up your data file. Unlike database packages, SPSS Data Entry automatically defines variables based on your questions and responses.

Get high-quality data for high-quality results
Your paper survey also works as your online entry form. Just define the data rules you want with the Rules Wizard, and SPSS Data Entry helps ensure you collect accurate data. SPSS Data Entry uses data rules to check both the validity of your survey responses and the accuracy of the entered data. For instance, use checking rules to verify you received valid answers to your questions; and use validation and skip and fill to ensure those who enter the responses do so accurately.

Enter data quickly
With an intuitive Windows interface and smart navigation features, anyone can learn in minutes how to enter data quickly. For example, skip and fill rules ensure you collect accurate data, as well as help guide both the respondent and data entry clerk through the form quickly. With Table Entry, you can enter data quickly in a familiar spreadsheet-style layout.

To collect data even more quickly and economically, add SPSS Data Entry Station(TM) to your system. It's ideal when you have many data entry people, even in remote offices, who collect data, but don't design surveys.

Work seamlessly with SPSS Base
SPSS Data Entry enables you to analyse your data immediately by storing your cleaned data in an SPSS file, complete with an SPSS data dictionary. The dictionary contains all the SPSS setup information for your form, including value labels, missing values and more.
