To edit a question, you need to make the edit on the specific language that it should reflect on. Peakon will then use that edited version of the question in surveys and dashboards for users who select the language that contains the edit.
When editing a standard question, ensure that you maintain the meaning and sentiment of the question to preserve the accuracy of the external benchmarking, and to avoid impacting how employees interpret and respond to the question. SeeConcept: Custom Driver Questions Best Practice for advice on formulating questions.
Users with global company access can edit all questions. Segment managers who manage questions can only edit questions where the main target is the segment that they manage.
  1. Go to
    Administration
    Questions
    .
  2. Select the question set that contains the question that you need to edit. Example: Engagement.
  3. Click
    Edit
     on the question that you need to edit.
  4. In the
    Localization
     section, make any necessary edits to the languages you enabled in the survey.
  5. (Optional) Include the % placeholder where the question should use the company name or a branded segment name.
The new version of the question is effective immediately. If you make an edit during a live round, employees that already opened the survey without completing it might still see the old version due to browser cache.
Any existing comments and the dashboard of the question will contain the new wording. The change won't change any historical survey scores, because it will display as though this wording has been present the whole time.
