Overview of the Survey Creation process

There are several stages to creating a survey on Makerble:

1. Create questions that are based on Progress Trackers

2. Create the survey (Use the Survey Editor to create a new survey template)

3. Create the fields that are based on Fields

4. Add questions to the survey

5. Pick a Multiple Choice Setting Set the Multiple Choice Type for multiple choice questions - as Single, Limited or Unlimited

6. Reorder the questions

7. Turn on extra features

Once your new survey has been created, it can be used in one or both of the following ways:

• Added to an Event Category so that the survey is loaded when someone clicks the Add your Post Event Update button

• Assigned to a project (which creates a Survey Campaign) and then deployed in a variety of ways.

The Survey Creation Process

Stage 1: Create a Progress Tracker for questions that are Multiple Choice, Numerical or Tick boxes

• If your survey contains Questions that are Multiple Choice, Numerical and Tickbox, you need to create a Progress Tracker for each question

Part 1: Create the Progress Trackers

Part 2: Create the Outcome(s)

Part 3: Add the Progress Trackers to the Outcome

Part 1: Create the Progress trackers

• Follow these steps to create Progress Trackers

  • Create a Multiple Choice Progress Tracker

  • Create an Achievement (Tick box) Progress Tracker

  • Create a Numerical Progress Tracker

• Note: all survey questions on Makerble are reusable. So if you have a question (Progress Tracker) already in your library because you have used it on one survey, you do not need to rewrite the question (i.e. create another Progress Tracker) in order to use it on a second survey

Part 2: Create the outcomes

Part 3: Add the Progress Trackers to the Outcome

8. As soon as you create a survey, you will see that there are several default questions that are automatically added to the survey.

   

   1. To remove these default questions, click the Delete Question button in the top right corner of that question

   2. If you do not need these questions in your survey you can remove them. If you later decide you want to reinsert these default questions, you can do.

10. In the owner section, set the owner of the survey as your Organisation

11. In the privacy section, set the visibility to Organisation Colleagues only

12. Press save

There is an Advanced section at the bottom of the page which is collapsed by default.

Open this section to

• Turn on Outcome-level Spider Plot Charts

• Turn on Outcome-level Bar Charts

• Add a Survey Description that appears if you choose to add the survey to the Surveys Store

• Add a box for Introductory Text that appears at the start of the survey when it is being completed
