Accessing Surveys

Super Admins can navigate to the Surveys section from the left-hand menu. Surveys have three statuses:

  • Scheduled (upcoming)

  • Running (currently active)

  • Ended (completed)

Creating a New Survey

  1. Click "Create New Survey" at the top of the page.

  2. Build a survey using AI (enter a prompt and receive a complete, ready-to-use survey tailored to your needs), choose a blank survey or duplicate an existing one (useful for onboarding check-ins.)

Customizing Your Survey

You can now configure:

  • Name and description

  • Privacy: Choose between identifiable responses (linked to employees) or if the survey will be anonymous

Building the Survey

  • Add your logo, title and description

  • Use the question bank or create your own:

    • Long text

    • Rating scales

    • Single or multiple choice

  • Add content blocks to organize by topic

  • Mark questions as required, if needed

  • To remove a question, just click and delete it

Assigning Participants

Choose who should receive the survey:

  • All employees

  • Specific offices (e.g., London)

  • Selected teams (e.g., Marketing, or everyone except Marketing)

  • Individual employees

Launching the Survey

  1. Click Preview to review the form from the employee’s point of view.

  2. Once ready, click Create.

  3. Set the start and end dates by clicking on Launch Survey.

Employees will receive an email and find the survey in their assigned tasks.

Completing the Survey

Participants can:

  • Click into their Assigned Tasks

  • Fill in the survey

  • Submit their responses, which will then be recorded

Managing Responses & Insights

Super Admins can track who has submitted vs. who hasn’t.

You can access insights that provide an AI-generated summary of responses.

Insights also show breakdowns in terms of:

  • Submissions

  • Average rating by job, team and office

  • Free text answers

In case the survey is anonymous, the result will be masked.
