Why departments switch

What Surveys fixes.

Build a survey question by question and decide who answers: members with their names attached, members anonymously, or anyone with the link — no account needed. Share it by link, QR code, or a notification to the members it is for, then read the results as summaries or one response at a time.

  • Honest answers stay anonymous
  • The public can respond
  • Results ready to act on
01

Paper sign-up sheets get lost

A link or printed QR code collects answers in one place.

02

Honest feedback needs real anonymity

Anonymous responses are stored with no member attached, and nobody can see who answered.

03

The public has no portal account

Public surveys need no login.

04

The same people answer twice

Members surveys can allow one response per member — even when anonymous.

How it works

From setup to a record you can trust.

  1. Build

    Add questions, section headings, and “show only if” conditions.

  2. Decide who answers

    Members or public, named or anonymous, which roles, and open and close dates.

  3. Share

    Copy the link, download the QR code, or notify the members it is for.

  4. Read results

    Summary charts, individual responses, and CSV export.

Capabilities

Everything Surveys includes.

Nine question types

Short and long text, single and multiple choice, dropdown, rating, number, date, and email, plus section headings.

Flexible answers

An “Other” box on choice questions, and ratings out of 5 or 10.

Conditional questions

Show a question only when an earlier choice answer matches.

Three ways to run it

Named members, anonymous members, or public.

Link and QR sharing

A random link and a QR code that downloads as a print-ready PNG.

Role targeting

Limit a members survey to certain roles and schedule when it opens and closes.

Summaries and responses

Per-question counts, rating averages, and a table of every response.

CSV export

Export responses, or remove a single test or abusive response.

Part of one portal

Works with the rest of your department.

Members keep one secure sign-in and one set of role permissions across every module you turn on.

Questions

Surveys FAQ

Can the public answer a survey?

Yes. Public surveys work for anyone with the link or QR code, with no account.

Can an administrator see who answered an anonymous survey?

No. An anonymous survey stores the answers without the member, so nobody — including administrators — can see who sent a response.

Can I change a survey after responses arrive?

You can reword questions. The audience and anonymity lock once anyone responds; duplicate the survey to change them.
