Enable Questions in the Survey

.
You can configure which questions you want to include in the question rotation process in surveys.
Switching question sets off on a survey round also enables you to run standalone surveys targeting specific segments of your business or run your questions at different cadences to suit your needs. Example: You can schedule Engagement, H&W, and D&I question sets monthly and schedule separate, quarterly T&C survey rounds that target your accounting department only.
For a question to display in a survey, it must be:
  • Set as active in the question configuration area.
  • Part of an enabled question set within the survey schedule (except for Values or Open-ended questions groups, where questions must only be active to be in a survey).
  1. Go to
    Administration
    Questions
    .
  2. Open a question set. Example: Engagement.
  3. Ensure that the questions you need to use in surveys are active.
  4. (Optional) Create and activate any new questions, if needed.
  5. Go to
    Administration
    Schedules
    .
  6. Open a schedule by clicking
    View
     or create a new schedule.
  7. Enable the specific question set and its frequencies in the
    Frequency
     tab.
  8. Activate the question set in every schedule that should use those questions.
If you make changes to questions during a live round, the changes will reflect immediately for employees who didn't yet answer the survey.
For automatically recurring surveys, the timing of when the question displays can differ from 1 employee to another, depending on when the employee last answered the question.
Review question targeting before a survey round, because it can work as another layer in determining whether certain employees, or an entire survey schedule, receive specific questions.
