Surveys module overview

With the Surveys module you build an exam or test (with correct answers, optional scoring and grades) or a plain questionnaire (no correct answers), together with learning material. Respondents are outside participants who sign in to their own portal with a link sent by e-mail. You find the module under HR → Surveys and exams.

HR → Surveys and exams lists the team's surveys. Four figures sit on top: Active surveys, the number of Participants, Awaiting review (attempts waiting for manual grading) and Submissions (30 days). New survey creates one; Respondents takes you to the participants and groups page.

Two kinds.

• Exam / test – the questions have correct answers. It can be scored, grade limits can be tied to the score, and after submitting the respondent sees what they got right.
• Questionnaire – no correct answers and no scoring; it collects the answers.

The editor has four tabs: Questions, Material, Participants and Settings. In the header you switch the survey on or off (Active), Try it fills it in the way a respondent sees it, Invite invites participants, and Results shows the attempts. The menu also has Make a copy and Delete survey.

The flow in short. Create the survey, add the questions and the material, set the fill period and the time limit, then invite the participants – one by one or as a group. They get a sign-in link by e-mail, fill it in on the portal, and it is evaluated. Some text answers may go to manual review; the respondent is e-mailed the final result.

Deleting. A deleted survey disappears from the list and from the respondents' portal, but the attempts and results already recorded are kept.

Permissions. By default only admins reach the module. Viewing needs surveys.view; editing, inviting, the results and grading need surveys.manage.
