Change the name of the survey
Add new sections, remove sections, re-name sections, or move sections up or down
Add new questions, remove questions, re-word questions, or move questions up or down within a section
Change the question type (e.g. rating, free text, single select, etc)
Change the select options used for certain questions, or move options up or down within a question
Change the factor assigned for reporting purposes
Choose account demographics to be tracked in the survey
Maintain self-report demographics used in the survey

Settings can be edited at the account level by Account Administrators, such as timezones, logos and survey participant data.

Questions not shown to participants

All engagement surveys created after April 2019 will have a section called Questions Not Shown to Participants. This is viewed on the bottom of the survey designer application and refers to survey questions that are hidden from survey respondents.

This may happen for several reasons:

Questions have not yet been assigned to a section, e.g. a section was deleted and all the questions from that section are now 'orphaned'.
Exit or onboard survey questions that are only used internally, by a person who conducts an interview, or wants to make notes about an employee.

Moving a question to Questions Not Shown to Participants:

Question has been successfully moved to Questions Not Shown to Participants.

Note: Deleting a section does not move the questions underneath the deleted section to "Questions not shown to participants" contrary to the old designer where it automatically does this.

Formatting Options

You can use HTML to format the Long Description field in the survey design. This means you can add things like links or make text bold. Just remember to type in the HTML code.
