Document Surveys

Document surveys are methods of gathering information. Our system simplifies the process of generating these surveys, and this section will provide you with step-by-step guidance.

Use cases:
  • Gathering employee opinions and suggestions on company policies and procedures
  • Gathering employee information about current environment in the company
  • Used to ensure that employees have read and understood documents
  • Used when an employee is departing from the company


Creating Document Surveys

1. Open the Surveys Module

Start by navigating to the Surveys Module, which you can find either directly from the home screen or by using the search bar. Upon reaching the module, begin by setting up a new record.



2. Click 'Create' to create new Survey




3. Fill in Survey Details

Begin by selecting a template in the module, which will automatically populate the 'Name of the survey' with the chosen template's name along with the creation date and time. The 'Start date' will default to today's date, and the 'End date' will be set to one month from the start date, but you can modify these dates as needed.


Module 'Surveys' > Create Survey

4. Saving the Survey

Before finalizing, thoroughly review all entered information for accuracy and completeness. Once you are certain that all details are correct, save the survey by clicking "Add".


Viewing Survey

To preview a survey, start by adding participants using the 'Recipient Staff' button. Then, change the survey's status to 'Started poll.'

Once you have set up the survey, you'll proceed to distribute it.

Begin by selecting the staff members who will be recipients of the survey by clicking on the 'Recipients Staff' button, which will bring up options to add the individuals you wish to include.
