💬 Frequently Asked Questions

How do I manage the recipients and teams to send surveys to?

👨‍🦰 "Recipients" tab

Here you'll find all the recipients of your programme who you can send a survey to, as well as the team they're assigned to.

🤝 "Teams" tab

Add a team
Click Add a team, enter its name, any parent team, its type and tags, then click Create team.

Manage teams
Once the team is created, add members and managers by clicking Add, then Save employees.
To remove a recipient, click on the team, then on the ... at the end of the recipient's row and select Remove from team.

What does the "Show average after submitting answers" field mean?

By enabling this option, employees who answer your survey will see the average of the results already submitted. For example: "63% of respondents answered yes to this question".

Is it possible to make responses anonymous?

Yes. When creating the survey, tick the Anonymous survey (minimum 4 people) box.

To guarantee anonymity, the survey can only be anonymous if there are at least 4 respondents (default threshold).

Can I send the survey to a specific group of people only?

Yes, you just need to adjust the audience in your survey settings.

You'll find all your teams there for targeted sending. To send it to everyone, select All programme members.

Can I prepare a survey in advance and schedule it?

Yes, you can prepare your survey in advance and set a date and time for it to be sent automatically.

After setting up the questionnaire, you'll access the campaign scheduling: here you set the distribution calendar, the survey's validity period, and automate reminder frequencies.

📊 Ongoing surveys and results

Once your surveys are set up, you can keep track of them whatever their status: ongoing, draft, paused or archived. Analysis is instant: scores update as soon as a response is submitted. To analyse the feedback, see our dedicated article: How to analyse survey feedback (in the "Communication" menu)?
