========================
Get Started with Surveys
========================
=================
Survey essentials
=================

Surveys can be used for a range of purposes that can go from collecting customer feedback, evaluate
the success of an event, measure how pleased customers are with your products/services, gauge
whether employees are happy and satisfied with their work environment, and even to find out what
your market is thinking.
Companies often use surveys to collect valuable information from their customers and employees,
which in turn, allows them to make more informed business decisions.

Get started
===========
In Odoo, surveys are used to collect customer feedback, evaluate the success of a recent event,
measure the satisfaction of customers (or employees), and gain more insight into shifting market
sentiments.

Getting started
===============

To begin, open the :guilabel:`Surveys` application and click :guilabel:`Create`. Odoo then
redirects the page to a blank survey template form.

On the survey form, add a :guilabel:`Survey Title` and then add a cover image to the survey by
hovering over the photo icon and clicking on the :guilabel:`Edit (pencil)` icon. When the file
explorer window opens, choose an image from the local files.

When creating your survey, choose a *Title* and *Category*. The *Category* field is used to know in
which context the survey is being conducted, as different applications might use it for different
purposes such as recruitment, certification, or employee appraisal.
Below the :guilabel:`Survey Title` are various tabs in which the survey questions and format can be
created and customized. These tabs are labeled as follows:

.. image:: create/new_survey.png
- :guilabel:`Questions`: the list of questions to be asked in the survey
- :guilabel:`Description`: contextual information to aid in understanding the survey
- :guilabel:`Options`: choices for survey respondents to answer the questions

.. image:: create/questions-description-options.png

Tab: Questions
--------------

| Add sections and questions by clicking on the respective links.
| On the *Sections and Questions* form, once the question type is chosen and the answer added,
under the tab *Options*, enable *Mandatory Answer*, and set an *Error message* to be shown
when the user tries to submit the survey without answering the respective question.
| Depending on the *Question Type*, the tab *Options* aggregates extra and different
possibilities. Examples:

- *Single Line Text Box* - can choose a minimum and maximum text length (number of characters -
spaces do not count), and its error message.
- *Multiple choice: multiple answers allowed*: choose between radio buttons or a dropdown menu
list, and if you would like to have a comment field. If the user select an answer and type a
comment, the values are separately recorded. Or, enable the comment field to be
displayed as an answer choice, with which a text type field is displayed.
- *Matrix Type*: choose if you would like to have one or multiple choices per row.

:alt: Various tabs that can be found on the survey template page.

Questions tab
=============

Add questions and sections to the survey in the :guilabel:`Questions` tab. A section divides the
survey into parts in order to visually group similar questions together. To make a section, click
:guilabel:`Add a section` and type in a section name. Then, add questions or drag and drop
questions into the divided sections.

Clicking :guilabel:`Add a question` opens the :guilabel:`Create Sections and Questions` pop-up to
create and customize the survey question.

Tab: Description
Create questions
----------------

Write a *Description* to be displayed under the title of the survey's homepage.
In the :guilabel:`Create Sections and Questions` pop-up, type the question in the
:guilabel:`Question` field. Then, choose the :guilabel:`Question Type`. A preview of how the
question type looks is shown in the preview window.

Choose from the following :guilabel:`Question Types`:

- :guilabel:`Multiple Lines Text Box`
- :guilabel:`Single Line Text Box`
- :guilabel:`Numerical Value`
- :guilabel:`Date`
- :guilabel:`Datetime`
- :guilabel:`Multiple choice: only one answer`
- :guilabel:`Multiple choice: multiple answers allowed`
- :guilabel:`Matrix`

.. note::
Different features appear in the :guilabel:`Answers` and :guilabel:`Options` tabs, depending on
the :guilabel:`Question Type` chosen. However, the :guilabel:`Description` tab always remains
the same, regardless of what question is chosen.

Create sections and questions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once a :guilabel:`Question Type` has been selected, there are three possible tabs where information
can be customized for the question. These include the :guilabel:`Answers` (if applicable),
:guilabel:`Description`, and :guilabel:`Options` tabs.

Each tab offers a variety of different features depending on what :guilabel:`Question Type` was
chosen.

For example, in the :guilabel:`Options` tab, the following options may appear:

- :guilabel:`Mandatory Answer`: the question must be answered.
- :guilabel:`Matrix Type`: for matrix-type questions, select if one choice or multiple choices can
be selected per row.
- :guilabel:`Number of columns`: select how many columns are displayed.
- :guilabel:`Images on answers`: allow images on the answer options.
- :guilabel:`Conditional Display`: determine if the question is displayed based on the
participant's answer to a previous question.
- :guilabel:`Show Comments Field`: allow the participant to type a comment in a text box.
- :guilabel:`Question Time Limit`: for live session surveys, set a time limit for the question.

Conditional Display
*******************

:guilabel:`Conditional Display` means the question is only displayed if the specified conditional
answer has been selected in a previous question.

When the box next to :guilabel:`Conditional Display` is selected, the :guilabel:`Triggering
Question` field appears. Select a question from the survey.

Then, a :guilabel:`Triggering Answer` field appears. Here, select which answer will trigger this
:guilabel:`Conditional Display` question.

Options tab
===========

Back on the main survey template form, under the :guilabel:`Options` tab, there are different
sections of settings that can be modified.

The sections include:

- :guilabel:`Questions`: focuses on the overall presentation of the survey
- :guilabel:`Scoring`: decides how the survey is scored
- :guilabel:`Candidates`: manages access to the survey
- :guilabel:`Live Session`: enables the survey into a real-time group activity.

.. tip::
Click on *Edit* to personalize your pages with the website builder.
Questions
---------

Tab: Options
First, select the :guilabel:`Layout` of the survey. The following options can be chosen:

- :guilabel:`One page with all the questions`
- :guilabel:`One page per section`
- :guilabel:`One page per question`

If either the :guilabel:`One page per section` or :guilabel:`One page per question` options are
chosen, then the :guilabel:`Back Button` option appears. If selected, the :guilabel:`Back Button`
option allows the participant to go back to a question during the survey.

Under the :guilabel:`Layout` options is the :guilabel:`Progression Mode` setting, which indicates
how the participant's progress during the survey is displayed. It is shown as either a
:guilabel:`Percentage` or a :guilabel:`Number`.

Next, there is an option available to add a :guilabel:`Survey Time Limit`. To implement this
option, simply check the box, and enter the amount of time (in minutes) participants have to
complete the survey.

After the :guilabel:`Survey Time Limit` option is a section labeled :guilabel:`Selection`. Here,
questions can be :guilabel:`Randomized per section`, in other words, the number of random questions
can be configured by section. This mode is ignored in a live session.

.. seealso::
:doc:`time_random`

Scoring
-------

The following options are available when deciding how a :guilabel:`Scoring` method:

- :guilabel:`No scoring`
- :guilabel:`Scoring with answers at the end`
- :guilabel:`Scoring without answers at the end`

If either the :guilabel:`Scoring with answers at the end` or :guilabel:`Scoring without answers at
the end` options are selected, a :guilabel:`Success %` field appears. Set the percentage of correct
answers needed to pass the survey.

Next, there is the option to make the survey a certification. To do so, check the box next to the
option labeled :guilabel:`Is a Certification`, and two additional fields appear. Select a color
theme in the :guilabel:`Certification Template` field and then choose an :guilabel:`Email
Template`. When a participant passes the certification with the required score, an email from Odoo
will automatically be sent to that person using the selected email template.

If the :guilabel:`Give Badge` feature is enabled and the :guilabel:`Certification Badge` is set,
the survey participant also receives a badge upon passing the certification.

.. seealso::
:doc:`scoring`

Candidates
----------

To determine access to the survey, the :guilabel:`Access Mode` has two options to choose between:
:guilabel:`Anyone with the link` and :guilabel:`Invited people only`.

Below the :guilabel:`Appraisal Managers Only` checkbox is the :guilabel:`Login Required` option to
require a login to participate in the survey. If this option is activated, an :guilabel:`Attempts
Limit` field also populates, in which the number of survey attempts is defined for the participant.

Live Session
------------

Under the tab *Options*, choose the *Layout* of your questions. If choosing *One page per section* or
*One page per question*, an option *Back Button* becomes available, which allows the user to go back
pages.
The :guilabel:`Live Session` section is dedicated to users who are conducting surveys in real-time,
wherein they directly engage with and collect answers from a live audience.

.. image:: create/tab_options_layout.png
:align: center
:alt: Form view of a survey emphasizing the layout feature under options in Odoo Surveys
Customize the :guilabel:`Session Code` here; this code is needed for participants to access the
live session survey. Reward participants for quick answers by selecting the checkbox labeled
:guilabel:`Reward quick answers`. By checking it, attendees will get more points if they answer
quickly.

Description tab
===============

Back on the main survey template page is the :guilabel:`Description` tab, where a custom
description of the survey can be added. This is displayed beneath the title on the survey's
homepage, which is on the front end of the website made through the Odoo :guilabel:`Website` app.

Test and share the survey
=========================

| Once your Survey is ready, *Test* it to avoid *Sharing* it with potential errors. As answers get
collected, click on *Answers* to access all the details of the respondent and his answers.
| By default, a filter *Except Test Entries* is applied to keep the list of entries clean with only
real participants.
Once the survey is created and saved, run a test to check for possible errors before finally
sending it out to the participants by clicking :guilabel:`Test` in the upper left corner of the
survey template page.

.. image:: create/user_feedback.png
:align: center
:alt: View list of the participations of a survey in Odoo Surveys
When activated, Odoo redirects the page to a test version of the survey on the front end of the
website. This page displays how the survey will look to participants. Proceed to run through the
survey, like a normal participant, to check for errors.

| Another way to access detailed answers is by going to :menuselection:`Participations -->
Participations`.
| Click on *See results* to be redirected to an analytical page.
To return to the survey template form in the backend, simply click the :guilabel:`This is a test
survey. Edit Survey` link in the blue banner along the top of the page. Once Odoo redirects the
page to the survey template in the backend, make any further changes, as needed, before officially
sending the survey out to participants.

.. image:: create/analytical_page.png
:align: center
:alt: View of an analytical page for Odoo Surveys
When the survey is ready to be shared with the audience, click the :guilabel:`Start Survey` button
in the upper-left corner of the survey template form. Then, click :guilabel:`Share`.

.. seealso::
- :doc:`scoring`
- :doc:`time_random`
In the pop-up window, add the survey recipients in the :guilabel:`Recipients` field (for existing
contacts in the Odoo database) or the :guilabel:`Additional emails` field (for contacts that do not
want to be listed in the Odoo database). Finally, click :guilabel:`Send`.

As answers are received, check them by clicking the :guilabel:`Answers` smart button on the survey
template form, or the :guilabel:`See Results` button in the upper left corner. To end the survey,
click the :guilabel:`Close` button on the survey template form.

Scoring Surveys
Scoring surveys
===============

To measure your respondent’s performance, knowledge of a subject, or overall satisfaction, attach
points to the answers of specific questions. The points are summed up to give your respondent a
final score.
To measure a survey participant's performance, knowledge, or overall satisfaction, Odoo ascribes
points to survey answers. At the end of the survey, these points are summed up, resulting in the
participant's final score.

On your survey’s form, click on *Add a question* and, under the tab *Options*, choose between
*Scoring with answers at the end* or *Scoring without answers at the end*. Now, on your question’s
form, set the right answer and score.
To add points to questions, open the :guilabel:`Surveys` application, choose the desired survey
form, and then click on the :guilabel:`Options` tab. Under the :guilabel;`Scoring` section, choose
between :guilabel:`Scoring with answers at the end` or :guilabel:`Scoring without answers at the
end`.

.. image:: scoring/answers_form.png
:align: center
:alt: Form view of a survey showing a list of answers in Odoo Surveys
- :guilabel:`Scoring with answers at the end` shows the survey participant their answers after
completing the survey, and displays which questions they got right or wrong. On questions where
there was an incorrect answer, the correct answer will be highlighted.

- :guilabel:`Scoring without answers at the end` does not show the survey participant their answer
choices after completing the survey, only their final score.

To indicate correct answers, click on the :guilabel:`Questions tab` and choose a question. In the
question form, check the :guilabel:`Is a correct answer` box for the choice that is the correct
answer and attach a score value.

Back on the :guilabel:`Options` tab of the survey, set the :guilabel:`Success %`. The percentage
entered determines what percentage of correct answers is needed to pass the survey.

Further on the :guilabel:`Options` tab of the survey, survey administrators can also choose to make
the survey a certification. A certification indicates that the survey asks questions to test the
participants' knowledge level on a subject.

When enabling the :guilabel:`Is a certification` option, choose a :guilabel:`Certification email
template`. The certification will automatically be emailed using this email template to users who
pass the survey with a final score that is greater than or equal to the set :guilabel:`Success %`.

Set the percentage score the user needs to achieve to have successfully taken the survey. If
enabling *Certificate*, choose its template. The certification is automatically sent by email to the
users who successfully finish it.
In the :guilabel:`Candidates` section, participants can be required to log in to take the survey.
If the :guilabel:`Login Required` setting is enabled, two new options appear: the
:guilabel:`Attempts Limit` checkbox, which limits the number of times a participant can attempt
the survey, and the option to :guilabel:`Give Badge`, located beneath the :guilabel:`Certification`
options in the :guilabel:`Scoring` section.

Enable *Login required* to be able to *Give Badges*. Badges are related to the eLearning section of
your website. Besides the logged-in user, visitors of the website that access the page *Courses*
can also see the granted badges.
Badges are displayed on the eLearning portion of a given user's portal, and are a way to set
milestones and reward participants for passing surveys or gaining points. Besides the awardee,
website visitors who access the :guilabel:`Courses` page will also be able to see the granted
badges.
