You can create and administer survey questions.

Before you begin

Role required: admin or survey_admin

About this task

Changes to a survey, such as the addition of questions or the modification of question templates, do not apply to the existing survey instances. However, the changes apply to any new survey instances that are created after the changes are saved.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Survey > View Surveys.

  2. Open a survey definition.

  3. In the Metric Categories related list, open a category.

  4. In the Assessment Metrics related list, open an existing question or click New.

    Each survey question is stored as a record on the Assessment Metric [asmt_metric] table with a modified view for survey use.

  5. On the Survey Question form, fill in the fields.

    The fields that appear depend on the selected Data type.

    For a description of the field values, see Survey Question form.

  6. Save the record.

    Note:

    • Be sure to create answer options if you select the Choice or Likert Scale data type.
    • You cannot delete a survey question (metric) with user responses. To delete a survey question with user responses, you should delete the responses, and then delete the survey question.
