How to add questions to a survey

A survey’s questions, and the headings between them, are its items. Add them one at a time, in any of the types below, then put them in the order you want people to answer them. You can add or change questions after the survey opens, but people who already answered can’t come back to answer new ones.

Before you start

• Create the survey.

Steps

1. Open the campaign: under Feedback & Abstimmung in your organization’s menu, click its arrow (Anzeigen). For an event’s campaign, click it under Feedback & Abstimmung in the event’s planner.

   

2. Click Element hinzufügen.

   

3. Type the question in Frage-/Ideentitel. Add a Beschreibung if it needs explaining: it shows under the question.

   

4. Choose its Elementtyp. Each type is described below.

   

5. For a Mehrfachauswahl, Kontrollkästchen (mehrere auswählen) or Dropdown question, click Auswahl hinzufügen for each answer people can pick, and type it. It needs at least two.

   

6. Pflichtfrage is on for a new question: people can’t submit the survey without answering it. Turn it off to make the question optional.

   

7. Click Speichern. The question is added at the bottom of the Fragen tab.

   

8. To change the order, drag a question by its handle. The survey numbers its questions in this order.

   

9. To change a question, click its pencil. To delete it, click its bin and confirm: its answers leave the results with it.

   

Question types

Every type except the section header can be required or optional.

Textantwort

A written answer on one line, for a name, a word or a short sentence.

Lange Textantwort

A written answer of any length. Written answers, short or long, are the ones AI can summarize.

Mehrfachauswahl

People pick one of your choices.

Kontrollkästchen (mehrere auswählen)

People tick every choice that applies.

Dropdown

People pick one of your choices from a list they can search, which suits a long list.

Schieberegler

People drag a slider from the Niedrigster Wert to the Höchster Wert, moving by the Schritt. Use Bezeichnung für niedrigsten Wert (optional) and Bezeichnung für höchsten Wert (optional) to put words on the ends, such as Poor and Excellent. The question stays unanswered until they move the slider.

Sternebewertung

People pick a number of stars, out of the Sternanzahl you set. Clicking the chosen star again clears it.

Ja / Nein

People answer Ja or Nein.

Abschnittsüberschrift

Not a question: a heading, with an optional description, that groups the questions after it. Its Abschnittstitel shows in the survey, but it collects no answer and takes no number.
