To get started with surveys on Collage navigate to the surveys section from the menu bar on the left side of the screen.

Once on the survey page you will see a list of any previously created surveys, or "No surveys to display" if there has not been any surveys created previously. 

To start creating your survey, click the blue Create New Survey button on the top right of the page while under the survey tab. You will be directed to a Survey creation flow. 

The first step to creating your survey is to name it. Pick a name that represents the survey and its intention. 

At this point you can also choose whether you'd like your survey to be anonymous. This will allow employee responses to be anonymized when viewed.

Now it is time to create the questions for your survey!
​
​To add a new question to the survey select + Add a Question. This will open a popup allowing you to select the answer type. There are four answer types:
​
​
​Sentiment

The Sentiment type allows employees to answer a question with an answer on a scale of 5. By default the answers are Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neutral, Agree, and Strongly Agree, but these answers can be edited.

Single-line text

The Single-line text type allows employees to answer a question with a longer-form single-line answer instead of choosing from a list of answers.

Multiple choice (single answer)

The Multiple choice (single answer) type allows employees to choose 1 answer from a list of answers.

Multiple choice (multiple answers)

The Multiple choice (multiple answers) type allows employees to choose multiple answers from a list of answers.

​

​To remove a question simply click the trash bin icon to the right of the question template.

In this step you can rearrange the order of the questions you created. Simply click the two lines to the right of the question, and drag it to where you want it to be.

In this step you can pick which employee will be receiving the survey. You can send the survey company wide, or select employees by location, department or name. 

The last step in the creating flow is review and launch. On the review page it is important to look over all of the information and make sure it is correct. Once the review has been launched, there will be no way to go back and edit it. When everything looks good click Finish. A pop up will appear asking for a due date. This due date will tell the system when to send reminder emails to employee, and when to end the survey.
​
Once you you click Save the survey will be launched to all of the employees included. Employees will receive an email notifying them about the survey, and will have have a task in their collage inbox.

​
​Note: You will be unable to edit a survey once it has been launched.
​
​Delete a survey: To edit a survey click the three dots to the right of the survey name, then click Remove from the dropdown that appears. This will cause a pop up to appear to make sure you want to delete the survey.
​
