How to work with the Survey Builder tool to create a custom survey from scratch
Step 1: Create a new survey template
- Navigate to section Surveys
- Click Create new survey
- Choose Create custom survey
- Name your survey
- Click Create
In the survey name, we suggest including the respondent group the survey is meant for and the broad topic, e.g. โPupil Wellbeingโ or โParent Trust Perceptionโ.
Step 2: Create modules
- Click Add new module
- Click the Edit icon in the newly created module
- Write in your module's name
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
Step 3: Create questions
- Click Add a new question
- Type in the question text
- Click Add answer option as many times as needed to get the final number of answers you'll need for your question
- Type in all answer options
- Optional - click Add "Not applicable" if your question will need an opt-out option
- Optional - if needed, you can rename the opt-out option
- Click Change answer values as many times as needed to find the right grading for your answer options
