• If you have an outcome measurement framework, you can rewrite each of your indicators as a survey question so that in reports it appears as an indicator, but in your surveys it appears as a question

  • E.g. when the indicator is “Confidence” it can be displayed in a survey as “What is level of your confidence?”

    

• If you use 360° surveys, you can phrase the same question differently depending on who is answering the survey

  • E.g. a mother will see “How would you rate your child’s confidence?” whereas a child will see “How would you rate your confidence?”

• If you send out a baseline, midline and endline version of your survey - i.e. different waves - you can change the wording of a question based on which wave it’s in

  • E.g. the baseline will say: “Thinking about how you feel now, before the start of the project, what is your level of confidence?” whereas the endline will say “Now that the project is over, what is your level of confidence?”

What are surveys?

A survey is a set of fields that you want people to complete when they create a story

• Whenever a survey is completed, the survey response is saved in the database as a story (called an Update in the front-end)

• Therefore a survey can be thought of as a template for a story with a set of questions and fields that need to be completed. This is why the name for surveys in the back-end is Story Category.
