      Creating a custom survey from scratch

      How to work with the Survey Builder tool to create a custom survey from scratch

      Step 1: Create a new survey template

      3. Choose Create custom survey
      4. Name your survey

      Mr_Edurio In the survey name, we suggest including the respondent group the survey is meant for and the broad topic, e.g. “Pupil Wellbeing” or “Parent Trust Perception”.

      1. Click Add new module
      2. Click Edit in the newly created module
      3. Write in your module's name

      Mr_Edurio Use modules to group questions about the same topic together in the results. In the results, you'll be able to see module averages in the Executive Summary and all of the questions within each module will be displayed on the same page. To see how that works, have a look at our demo results: https://edurio.com/demo/teacher
