Configure Survey Settings

Survey settings lets you enable/disable user surveys, customize the survey email template, schedule surveys, configure survey exclusions / survey reminders, and modify the default welcome and page revisit message.

To configure the survey settings,

Select a module for which you want to configure the survey settings. If the survey settings is not related to any module, you can select Adhoc Survey from the drop-down.  

Configure Email Notification Template

Use the Customize link beside Survey Email Template to design an email notification template for the survey. Use the variables to compose the email message for the survey.

Configure Default Messages 

As soon as the requester clicks the survey link, they will be taken to the Survey page. You can configure an appropriate welcome message to be displayed on that page by using Survey Messages. When the user attempts to reopen an already completed survey, you can configure an appropriate message under Page Revisit.

Schedule Survey 

You can configure when the survey must be sent to the user. Depending upon the module selected, you will get various options to choose from. The following example is for requests module survey.

Survey Exclusion

You can exclude sending surveys on certain conditions by selecting Do not send survey emails when following conditions are matched checkbox.

After you enable survey exclusion, set the various conditions to exclude surveys:

 

 

If a request matches the conditions set, survey email will not be sent to the requester.

 Multiple rules will be executed sequentially, based on the order listed on the Survey Settings page.
