Add Questions to Surveys

In the Surveys screen in Engagement Setup, you can add questions to your new and draft surveys. You can either search the question library to add existing questions or you can configure your own custom questions for your survey.

To add or view a survey's questions, go to its Questions tab. Questions are sorted by category. You can reorder the categories or the questions in them using the arrows, or by dragging and dropping your selection using the Move icon ().

Before You Begin: Adding questions from the question library and creating custom questions for a survey are separate actions. Custom questions that you create for a survey aren’t added to the question library. For more information about creating reusable questions, see Question Library.

To add questions to a survey:

1. Go to Engagement Setup and click the Surveys screen.
2. Open an existing draft survey or create a new survey.
3. In the Questions tab, click Add Questions.
4. Do one of the following, depending on the type of questions you want to add:
   • Select the Add Questions from Library option, and then select the checkbox next to each question that you want to add.
   • Select the Add Custom Questions option and click Add. Then, enter the question and select its category and answer type.
5. Select or clear the following checkboxes to specify how you want to use each question in the survey:
   • Allow Comments: When selected, employees are provided with a comment field for the question.
   • Optional Question: When selected, the question is marked as optional and employees don’t need to answer the question.
   • Comments Required: When selected, the comment field for the question is marked as required in the survey. 
6. Note: Comments aren’t required for optional questions, so when you select the Optional Question checkbox, the Comments Required checkbox is automatically cleared and deactivated.
6. Click Add, and then click Save.
