Product News 04-2025

Completely new Widget settings, live for everyone

The Widget is a type of survey distribution method that allows you to install your Neitgate survey into an external website or app. After, the survey can appear as visitors land on the page, take certain actions, fill out certain fields, or just click the button marked “feedback”!

We recently redid how the entire widget works, this means the widget now has:

  • An easier installation process
  • Additional question types you can use
  • Enhanced styling settings
  • Additional ways to display (like triggers)

And what’s even better is that the widget is available for most users, at no extra charge. We expect the widget to live this week!

Blocklist page is being updated

Previously, the blocklist has been used by customers to prevent a survey from being delivered to a certain email address. However, due to security guidelines imposed on email providers like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft, we are going to be changing how the Blocklist works.

We are making this change so that emails sent from Netigate (like the surveys you send to your users) are more likely end up in the correct inbox. Not marked as spam, not bouncing, not with a warning attached – this change will help everyone who uses Netigate in the long term.

In the soon to be future, you will no longer be able to add or remove users manually from the blocklist. Instead, if a user unsubscribes from your surveys (using the link at the bottom of every survey), they will get automatically added to the Blocklist page. The page itself will be a read only list of all users who have unsubscribed. 

We know that this might be a big process change for some customers, but we want to stress that this change allows us to better comply with guidelines set by entities like Google and Microsoft. Following their guidelines makes your email significantly more likely to be delivered to the correct inbox without issue. 

Export answer statistics to Insights package

You should already be aware of the different packages that Netigate is now offering (but if you don’t, check out the webinars from a CX perspective and an EX perspective). We want there to be more parity across the platforms, which is why we are opening up the following fields from Surveys, to the Insights packages:

  • Answers – the number of answers to a survey
  • Completed – date the survey was completed
  • Days live – time survey has been live
  • Response time – how long it took someone to respond
  • Sendouts – how many surveys were sent
  • Drop-offs – how many started but didn’t finish the survey
  • Response rate – how many responded
  • and more!

We want you to be able to create custom graphs on these values, analyze these data points using AI, and more – but all of that requires getting this info into the Insights package. While we are still working on visualizing these fields, the first step was making them available. Stay tuned for more info on this!

New and updated articles in the success center

  • Widget doc – Updated with new information about the new widget question types and cosmetic options
  • Blocklist – updated in preparation for the changes above, coming live soon
  • Note that we are in the process of updating our Success Center to a new platform, so keep an eye out for details on that in the future!

Product News 03-2025

Netigate Product News for March 2025

Welcome to the “first” ever Product News for Netigate! This is where you can learn about the ongoing features and updates that we are releasing for the platform. We expect to do these around the first Monday of every month moving forward. You can also read this news on our website. With that, lets get into some exciting new features!

New survey Widget now previews in real time

The Widget is a type of survey distribution method that allows you to install your Neitgate survey into an external website or app. After, the survey will appear as visitors land on the page, take certain actions, fill out certain fields, or just click the button marked “feedback”!

While the widget itself has existed for a while, we changed how the widget gets created within Netigate to make it easier to use. This includes a real time preview of the widget, as you make changes! Check it out in the GIF below:

Import Translations for your surveys

We’ve been getting feedback from customers that, while editing translations from the UI works for smaller changes, if you need to make dozens of changes, it can be a bit cumbersome.

Thats why we developed a way for you to Export and then Import translations:

  • View a sorted list of all translatable text in your survey
  • Make changes easily and at scale
  • Copy and paste translations from other services directly to your Excel
  • Import your changes to have them live in your survey!

We hope you enjoy using the new Import Translations feature. You can read more about how it works and how you can get started using it from the article in our knowledge base.

Automatic Data removal through API

We have created some new endpoints in the API that allow you to automatically remove data after certain criteria has been met, such as:

  • Automatically removing data after X amount of days have passed
  • Automatically removing data on a set date in the future
  • Deleting specific responses from a survey, based on ID
  • Partially removing data

You can read more about these changes, as well as example payloads, through our API documentation.

NPS Benchmarks have been updated!

If you are using NPS in your survey, we offer the ability to view Benchmarks for NPS scores. These benchmarks are pulled from Netigate, based on our customer base, consultant experience, and industry practices.

Now, the NPS benchmarks have been updated with the current 2025 business landscape. If you use NPS, we highly recommend you check them out! You can learn more about NPS benchmarks in our article on the topic.

Upcoming webinars

Recent Knowledge base updates

  • New Widget –  Added section about Google Tag Manager
  • Create a Powerpoint Template – Added section on how to make the Powerpoint smaller so that it conforms with our file size upload requirements

A Quiz survey option has been added to the Survey settings menu, which will turn your survey into a quiz. By turning this setting on, only question types and options that are compatible with a quiz survey will be active. All questions types except radio buttons, info text, media and background data will be disabled.

Visualise goals and progress in your Netigate reports with target values and threshold intervals

Target values and threshold intervals have now been activated for Professional and Enterprise license holders. Setting target values allows you to insert visual markers for your goal results in your Netigate reports. Threshold intervals then provide a traffic light system to help you clearly track the status of your goals. Watch the tutorial below learn how to use these features— in less than two minutes!

Show list of hidden words

In the new report, you can now inspect and change the list of all words manually hidden from your word clouds. Also, you can find out whether any of the blacklists are activated on your account, preventing certain words from showing in your word clouds (admin setting).

Go to Dash Options in your word cloud and click on Hidden Words in the top right corner. You will see all the hidden words in a dop-down menu. If you changed your mind and want to include one or more words again in the word cloud display, simply select the individual checkbox or choose Select all and click Restore Words.

If you share the report containing word clouds with hidden words, those words will not be visible for the report recipient either.

This feature allows you to easily and efficiently work with word clouds and include and exclude certain words from the respondents’ answers.

Respondent overview integrated in menu

The respondent overview is now conveniently located in the left-hand menu of your report. This allows you to access the overview of your respondents easier than ever before. Simply click on Respondents in the menu bar.

The left menu is also redesigned to clearly distinguish all the previously saved reports (Saved Reports >) from the options for changing the report you are currently working on (options below Manage Reports).

Switch between report and create mode

If you want to switch between the Edit-mode and the report of your survey, you can do so with just one click. To reach the Edit-mode, simply click on the name of your survey. You will see it as a hyperlink at the top of your report.

This option is particularly useful if you want to make any changes to the survey retroactively. For instance, you can quickly turn a question into a weighted one and see the outcome in the report right away. Further, you can quickly refresh your memory on the questions’ presentation, layout, type, or click on the preview to check how the question was presented to the respondents.

Visualising non-weighted matrix questions with multiple series

We have improved the graphs and tables for non-weighted matrix questions with multiple series. All the answer options in the graph inherit the colour of the series and differentiate from each other by having various levels of transparency. This approach also applies to the table, making it easier to read and match visual and numerical data in the graph and the table. With the new visualisation, it takes less time to make sense of complex matrix questions.

Hide word from all wordclouds

We have updated the way you can work with hiding words from a word cloud. Previously, you were able to hide a word from one specific word cloud. Now, you can select a word which will be hidden from all word clouds within the same report. You can then save the report without that word.

For example, in the picture of the report below, the word “ventilation” is very obvious. If you have already taken measures to improve the ventilation, you might want to exclude that word from the cloud. This allows you to save 2 versions of the report, one with the word ventilation and one without the word ventilation. Even when you close the report, your choice will have been saved for the next time you open it. If you saved the report without a specific word, you can also share that report and recipients of your shared report will not see the word.

Metric Desktop/Mobile now available in New Report

In the new report, you can now see which device your respondents have used to answer your survey. To enable the metric, click the cog-symbol to the right and choose Device used. This gives you an overview of the percentage of people that accessed your survey via mobile and via desktop.

Language footer in shared report

You now have the option to change the language in your shared reports. When you scroll to the bottom, you will see 4 flags in the footer which enable you to switch language between English, German, Norwegian, and Swedish.

What does this mean for you as a Netigate user?
When you share reports, you do not need to worry about the language preferences of your report recipients anymore. They can choose the language they are most comfortable with, regardless of the language you are using inside the Netigate platform.

Note: This feature changes the language of the tool itself, e.g. descriptions, headings, errors, etc. It does not change the language of the actual questions and results. To change the language of the actual questions, the survey needs to have been created in the multi-language tool. You will see a drop-down menu in the top right corner of your report to switch survey language if applicable.

Shared report respects user set UI language

When you share a report, the recipients will receive the report in the language that you have created the report in. Example: If you have saved your report in German and share the report, the recipients will receive it in German as well. Consider creating your report in a language that most of your recipients are able to understand, before sharing a report.

Note: The language refers to the user-interface and not to the questions and answers themselves. Those are dependent on the multi-language tool and whether translations of the survey were made.

Tip: Recipients of the report can still change the language through the flags at the bottom of the report if they do not understand your language.

You can now protect your shared reports with a password to ensure that your data is safe. This ensures that no one can access your reports unless you share the password with them. This is a security feature in line with GDPR.
