Role required: admin or survey_admin
About this task
Use the Send Invitations button to immediately assign survey instances to each survey user that is listed in the survey definition. Use the Assign Survey button to assign a survey instance to any one user at a time.
Each of the buttons generates survey instances assigned to the appropriate users. In addition, if the instance is configured to send email, the system generates survey notifications. For either button to be available, the survey definition must meet all of the following conditions.
- Active check box is selected.
- State is Published.
- Survey is associated with at least one question.
Note: You (or a trigger) can send more than one instance of a survey to a user at any time.
Procedure
Navigate to All > Survey > View Surveys.
Select an active, published survey.
Complete one of the following actions.
| Assign a survey to users listed in the Survey Users related list | Click Send invitations. |
| Assign a survey to any user | Click Assign Survey and select one or more users, and then click OK. |
The system creates a survey instance assigned to the user or users, assuming the user is eligible to receive a new survey instance. When you use the **Assign Survey** button, the selected user is not saved as a survey user.
