Survey Builder
The Toolbox in the top left contains the various survey questions
Questions can be added to your survey in a range of formats, the configuration options are:
Question Type: Select the type of question you would like to ask. Click to enter into survey builder or drag into the survey builder. Options are:
Question Type | Description |
|
Single Select (Radio) | Single select questions use a radio style format to allow single option answers for stakeholders.
Tips: You can add in features to these questions within SPP such as options order, other, clear button and logic | 
|
Multi Select (Check-In) | Multiple choice questions allow stakeholders to select one or more options from a list of answers defined.
Tips: You can add in features to these questions within SPP such as options order, other, select all, limit the number of selected options and logic (If your SPP subscription allows survey logic to be applied) |  |
Dropdown | A dropdown question is a great and easy way to display without crowding the answers into a single select question. |
|
Polling | A Polling question provides a two option in a Poll style setting. |
|
Matrix | Matrix questions allow multiple questions to have the same response options. For example, answer options from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree.
Tips: Columns are the answer options and Rows are the questions. You can set the rows to be random for each submission. You can also configure the question to require an answer for all rows. |
  |
Custom Matrix | Like a matrix question, the custom matrix allows you to have multiple questions to have the same response options. The customer matrix allows the response options to be displayed in a numbers of ways such as dropdown, rating, single select and multi select. You can customise the columns, rows and answer options. |
 |
Semantic Differential | This question type uses a rating scale format and can gauge stakeholders emotional attitude toward the question. |
|
Multi Select Grid | Similar to the matrix question however, the multi Select Grid offers checkbox style options. |
|
Short Text | Short text question types allow stakeholders an open response field. This then allows for a response in their own words rather than providing pre-set answers.
Tips: Short test questions are ideal for a standard question that requires short text responses rather than lots of detail. You can add a character limit to this question type. |
|
Long Text | Like the short text question type, the Long Text option allows for open feedback from your stakeholders. The comment box for Long Text questions is bigger then the short text and can provide the stakeholder the awareness that the response can be more detailed.
Tips: you can add a character limit to this question type. |
|
Short Text List | The Short Text list question allows short form, one or two words open responses to predefined items within a question. |
|
Ranking | A Ranking question type allows stakeholders to order a set of predefined answers by way of their preference. |
 |
Rating | Often referred to as ordinal questions, the rating shows a scale of answers to find out how stakeholders rate something. For example, from 1 to 10.
Tips: add in rate descriptions to identify opposite ends of the rating scale. | 
|
Slider | Slider questions give stakeholders the ability to evaluate an answer on a numerical scale.
You can set the step, the interval that the slider jumps or or down by. Also the minimum and maximum range of the scale. |
|
Image Select | Image select allows you to display images as answer options. |
|
Date | Allow date selection with this question type. |
|
Document Upload | You can collect document files within your surveys. Stakeholders can upload PDF file format. |
|

Survey Settings
Name: Enter a name for your survey
Single Submit: Enabling this will prevent the same stakeholder submitting a survey more than once
⚠️Single-submit surveys are not presented to a stakeholder when submitting a comment if that stakeholder has completed the survey previously.
Similarly, single-submit surveys that reside in sidebar tabs, or that are shown for a map layer or info marker, will not be presented to a stakeholder once completed, with the "thank you" message for the survey shown in its place. This will only occur for those stakeholders that have chosen the "Remember Me" option when submitting a comment or survey.
