# Preparation and sending of a new survey

## Employee surveys are a great tool for making informed decisions in a company.

| [Creating a new survey](https://knowledgebase.sloneek.com/migration/hc/preparation-and-distribution-of-a-new-survey#novy) | [Sending out a survey](https://knowledgebase.sloneek.com/migration/hc/preparation-and-distribution-of-a-new-survey#rozeslani) | [Editing a launched survey](https://knowledgebase.sloneek.com/migration/hc/preparation-and-distribution-of-a-new-survey#editace) |
| --- | --- | --- |

### Creating a new survey (questionnaire, poll)

To create a new survey, go to the **Company / Surveys** section in the app. From here, simply click the Add button on the top right and you can start preparing your survey. If you have already created a survey, you can also **duplicate** it. This is a convenient solution especially for regular surveys.

#### Survey setup and respondents

After naming and briefly describing the survey, you choose the most important thing - **the respondents of the survey**. You can choose between:

- the whole company (all users)
- selected teams
- selected locations
- selected users
- selected [tags](https://knowledgebase.sloneek.com/hc/user-tags?hsLang=en)

![Snímek obrazovky 2023-10-28 v 22.44.54](https://knowledgebase.sloneek.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sn%C3%ADmek%20obrazovky%202023-10-28%20v%2022.44.54.png?width=688&height=410&name=Sn%C3%ADmek%20obrazovky%202023-10-28%20v%2022.44.54.png)

In the next step, select whether you want the survey to be **anonymous** or whether you want to collect users' responses with their names. Finally, you can specify whether **users can edit their answers** while the survey is still running.

**Please note**: The maximum allowed length of a survey description is currently set to 225 characters. So try to get straight to the point. 🙂

#### Question types

We are now getting to the heart of all the surveys, namely their questions. In Sloneek, you can choose from **five types of questions**:

- text
- scale
- single select
- multi select
- eNPS

When selecting a **text type** question, you let the user type in any answer in their own words. For the **scale**, you choose between two cutoff points (e.g., 1-5), with the highest scale value allowed being 10. As the name implies, **single select** allows users to select just one option, while **multiple select** allows users to check two or more options.

For each question, you can **choose whether or not to make it compulsory**. Just be careful not to lose valuable data by asking too many optional questions. At the same time, if you choose a survey with only one question, we recommend that you make it mandatory so that it does corrupt the data in the analytics.

For **eNPS** (Employee Net Promoter Score) questions, this is a standardized method used to assess employee satisfaction in an organization. Similar to the classic Net Promoter Score (NPS), which is used to measure customer satisfaction, the **eNPS focuses on employee satisfaction**.

More detailed instructions on how to create and read results for eNPS can be found in [**this article**](https://knowledgebase.sloneek.com/hc/how-to-create-and-read-enps-results?hsLang=en).

**TIP:** As in other modules of the app, you can use our **AI Assistant** ✨ to quickly generate relevant questions for your survey. 

#### Survey automation

Once you have your questions ready, all that's left to do is set up survey automation. Simply choose **how many days your users have to complete the survey**, and whether you want to send a **reminder** to those who don't do so by a certain day before the deadline:

### Sending the survey to users

👈 [Back to contents](https://knowledgebase.sloneek.com/migration/hc/preparation-and-distribution-of-a-new-survey#osnova)

Sending out a survey is a matter of seconds. Once you have your respondents selected and the survey set up to suit your needs, just click the **Launch Survey** button on the top right.

At that point, all users will receive a **notification** of the new survey in their email and app and can get started completing it.

If you don't want to run the survey yet, just save it as a **draft**.

### Editing a launched survey

👈 [Back to contents](https://knowledgebase.sloneek.com/migration/hc/preparation-and-distribution-of-a-new-survey#osnova)

Occasionally, you may find an error in a survey that has already been run. This could be a typo, a grammatical error or a wrongly set or named scale. Therefore, you have the option to **edit the survey** you have launched, **including its questions**. 

In the Company / Surveys section, click on the **three dots** icon next to the survey and select Edit.

**Please note:** For a launched survey, you can no longer edit who the survey was intended for (respondents) and whether it is anonymous.
