Creating a Survey

  1. Go to Surveys > Manage Surveys.

  2. Click 'Add New Survey' to start building a new survey from scratch.

  3. Give the survey a Title and choose the Response type Anonymous or Non Anonymous

  4. Non-anonymous: The name, email and a link to the user profile info will be included with answers for reporting and analysis.

    Anonymous: The user identity will remain anonymous and only answers will be received as part of reporting and analysis.

  5. Add your first question using the question builder. For each question you can:

    1. Choose a question type (Multiple Choice, Dropdown, Scale, Matrix Scale, Star Rating, Open Ended, Matrix, Employee Selection, or File Upload

    2. Enter the question text.

    3. Mark the question as Mandatory if participants must answer it before submitting.

    4. Turn on "Not Applicable" if the question shouldn't apply to everyone and participants should be able to skip it explicitly.

    5. Hit Save

  6. Click Add Question to add as many questions as you need. You can reorder questions by dragging them into the order you want them to appear.

  7. As you build the survey, hit Save so your work is saved automatically as a Draft — you can leave and come back to it later from the Drafts tab under Manage Surveys.
