Library Supported Technology: Creating a Survey

This guide provides instructions and information about the hardware, software and platforms managed by the Library.

Creating Surveys

There are two ways to create a survey: from scratch, which requires the user to manually build and format each question; and from a template, which provides users with editable, pre-designed questions. Instructions for creating a survey from scratch and from a template are below.
