Overview of the Survey Creation processPro Tip

  • Your quantitative questions (numerical, multiple choice and checkbox) exist as Metrics that plug into Surveys, Progress Boards, your CRM, Automations and more.

  • So when you name them, use succinct neutral terms such as Confidence to start a business given that you can customise the way they appear when displayed as a Question in each version of your survey.
