You can tailor the wording of a survey question for specific projects.

  • There are two methods:

    • Copied Surveys

    • Personalised Wording using Waves

  • The way you tailor the question depends on the type of question it is, i.e. whether it is a Field-based question or a Multiple Choice question

  • If the questions you want to tailor are across both types, you need to use the Copied Surveys method

  1. Copy your original survey

  2. Add the copied version to the specific project(s) that you want to receive this tailored version of a question

  3. Go to the Manage Fields page and edit the question’s wording for each version of the survey

For Multiple Choice questions

  1. Turn on Edit Mode for the survey

  2. Press Edit next to the Multiple Choice question you want to tailor

  3. A popup launches

  4. Select Only on this survey rather than “All”

  5. In the Name field: adjust the wording of the question and press Save.

Using the Personalised Wording with Waves method

  1. Check that there is at least one Wave on each project that you want to tailor the question for. If there isn’t a Wave, create one. If there isn’t a spare wave, create one. (How to create a Wave)

    1. Select the project you want to tailor the question for

    2. Select the wave you want to save the tailored wording to
