Question & Answer


Question

How do I create a custom survey?

Answer

To begin creating a survey, or to enter the Survey Library:

(1) Select Create a survey from the Employee Voice main menu or select the Create a survey tile on the Employee Voice homepage.

(2) Select the Build new survey icon or select the Build new survey tile from the My surveys tab.

(3) Enter the Display Name and Description and select Build. The Build page launches allowing you to begin building the survey.

(4) Select the Actions dropdown list to perform the following four options.

(5) Select Save after selecting an Action.

· Publish – Marks the survey as ready for administration, allowing the Project Administrator to distribute the survey to survey participants utilizing the Distribute a survey tile on the Employee Voice main page.

· Generate Preview – Launches a new window for the Project Administrator to preview the survey in a similar view a survey participant would see.

· Delete – Deletes the survey.

· Export – Allows the Project Administrator to export the survey.

· Import – Allows the Project Administrator to import a survey.


Note: Currently there are two functional differences between the survey preview and the actual participant experience: 1) No survey select page 2) Save and Finish later will not show. This will be resolved in an upcoming code push.

· Share - The preview link by selecting the arrow icon. You can copy the preview Share Survey Link or email it.

(7) Enter your survey content in the Welcome and Thank You message fields utilizing the pencil icon


Note: A text editor is available as well as a character count.
