Managing & Launching Surveys

Learn how to manage published surveys, understand survey statuses, and end a survey.

Written by Mohamed Shantory

Before You Start

  • You must be a Super Admin or an Admin with survey management permissions

  • Surveys are managed under Engage → Survey


Overview

After a survey is published, it appears in the survey list under Engage → Survey. From here, you can monitor its status, edit it, delete it, or end it before the scheduled end date.


The Survey List

The survey list displays all surveys in your organisation. Each survey card shows:

  • Status badge — In Progress (orange) or Completed (green)

  • Survey name

  • Date range — start and end dates

  • View Insights — opens the survey analytics

  • ⋮ menu — access management actions

Status Labels

Status

What it means

In Progress

The survey is currently active. Talents can submit responses.

Completed

The survey has ended — either the end date has passed or an admin ended it manually.


Editing a Survey

  1. On the survey card, click the menu

  2. Select Edit

  3. Update the survey settings or questions

  4. Save your changes

📝 Note: Edits to a live survey take effect immediately. Talents who have not yet responded will see the updated version.


Deleting a Survey

  1. On the survey card, click the menu

  2. Select Delete

  3. Confirm the deletion

⚠️ Warning: Deleting a survey permanently removes it and all its response data. This cannot be undone.


Ending a Survey

If you need to close a survey before its scheduled end date:

  1. Go to Engage → Survey

  2. Click the survey card to open it, or click View Insights

  3. Click End Survey in the top right corner

  4. Confirm the action

⚠️ Warning: Ending a survey is permanent. The survey closes immediately and Talents can no longer submit responses. The survey moves to Completed status and its data is preserved for review.


How Surveys Launch

When you click Next on the Summary step (Step 4) during creation, the survey is published immediately. Talents are enrolled and the survey becomes accessible to them based on the start date you configured.

For recurring surveys, each cycle starts automatically on the scheduled date you do not need to manually re-launch it.
