2-mode survey?
Olli
prime tool for that purpose if it was possible. I'm trying to find out
which organizations are respondents connected to but without needing
their relations to each other.

We often use ONA Surveys to do 2-mode surveys, but I must admit that
the 2-mode is always tied into a standard survey. To be specific I
assume your questions is if it is possible just to ask the 'About You'
questions and nothing else? If that is the case then the answer is
currently no. But let me hear from other people - perhaps it is
something we should look into?

Thank you for the response. One of the most useful features for me in
ONA Surveys is the snowball-function. I'm currently setting up a survey
to create a map of an organization's P2B contacts. At this stage I'm not
interested in person to person contacts. The way I found my way around
this was by listing the known organizations with dummy e-mail addresses
and by creating a filter. Even with clear directions people managed to
pick persons to their contact list. It's not a huge problem but it
creates a possibility for a user error (multiplied by hundreds or
thousands of respondents).
Never the less, you have great service. It's always nice to notice that
businesses are developing their products and taking their clients
opinion in mind. Keep up the good work!

Many thanks for the kind words. If you like what we do please spread
the word!
We actually did a projectrecently which is kind of similar to what you
are doing, so I figured I'd share this idea with you which we found
valuable. Once you have collected all your data (I expect that you
will have multiple responses for each company) then add the company
name as an attribute for each node (you might need to do this
manually). Then, in Netdraw, use the 'Layout / Group by Attribute'
feature. This will consolidate all the responses per company and might
give you the 2-mode network you were looking for.
Best of luck.

question which might be slightly related to this. I'm looking at a
two-mode network with two groups of professionals - pharmacists and
doctors - and only looking at their relations with each other. So
only doctors’ relations with pharmacists and pharmacists’ relations
with doctors, not any intra-group relations, so not the relations of
pharmacists with other pharmacists etc.
I need two versions of the questionnaire one for each profession as
the ‘about you’ questions need to be tailored to that profession. So
when they go on the ‘people you know’ section, for the pharmacists I
only want them to see a list of doctors and vice versa. Is the only
way to do this through setting up the filter, where the respondent
selects to see the appropriate group? This is fine, but the filter
box appears a little small and I wonder if respondents might miss
this, and as Olli mentioned I suspect I might still get doctors
selecting other doctors instead of pharmacists. Just wondered if
there were any other options?
I take it there is no point disabling the respondents I don’t want to
appear in the list because then those that have been disabled cannot
respond?
Many thanks in advance

You can do this, but it is a bit manual.
This is how we have done it in the past:
1. Create your list of ALL participants and email addresses (and other
attribute data) in a spreadsheet (download the template from ONA
Surveys).
2. In the name column replace the names of all the doctors with tildes
(~).
3. Issue the survey only to the doctors (use the button 'email
individuals' and select only doctors). As ONA Surveys shows all the
names alphabetically it will push all the tildes toward the end and
the doctor respondents will therefore only see names of pharmacists.
4. Once you have collected the responses from all the doctors you need
to reverse this exercice.
5. Leave the survey open, but now click on the 'edit respondents'
button and for each doctor replace the tilde with their real name. For
each pharmacist replace their name with a tilde.
6. Issue the survey to the pharmacists (use the button 'email
individuals' and select only the pharmacists).
7. Once you have collected all the responses from the pharmacists you
change their tildes back to their real names.
8. Export the data...
Yes - it is a bit manual and could be timeconsuming if you have many
respondents, but if you only have up to 50 it should work. Test it
thoroughly first!
The other alternative is of course just to prefix each name with DOC
or PHA, and give clear instructions. That would mean that names would
appear like this: DOC John Jones, DOC Mary Hanson etc. You could also
use the filter feature, but as you say it may be overlooked.
I hope this helps. Please do post an update here and share your
lessons learned.

Thank you so much for this. That sounds exactly what I need. I'll
give it a go and let you know how I get on.
Thanks again
