Cloudy Survey & Form Knowledge Base

General

The General Survey Information section is used to define the core details, behavior, and configuration of the survey, including its target audience, timing, and related Salesforce object.

  • Record Type:- Specifies the type of record being created — typically “Survey.” It determines the structure and available options for the survey.
  • Start Date:- Defines the date from which the survey becomes active and available for respondents to access.
  • End Date:- Specifies the date when the survey will expire or no longer accept responses.
  • Target Audience:- Allows the selection of a specific group or audience (e.g., Customers, Employees, Partners) who will receive or can access the survey.
  • Enable Timeout:- When enabled, the survey will automatically time out after a specified duration from the start time.
  • Timeout Minutes From Start;- Defines the exact number of minutes after which the survey will automatically time out if not completed.
  • Enable Auto Submit After Timeout:- When active, the system automatically submits the survey responses once the timeout duration is reached.
  • Enable Review All Questions:- Allows respondents to review all their answers before final submission.
  • Enable Back Button in Wizard:- Enables the “Back” button when navigating through multi-page surveys, allowing users to revisit previous pages.
  • Target Object;- Specifies the Salesforce object (e.g., Contact, Lead, Account, Case) that the survey is linked or related to. Responses can be associated with this object.
  • Enable Verification Code:- Activates a feature requiring respondents to enter a verification code before accessing the survey — ensuring secure participation.
  • Enable Welcome Page:- Displays a customizable welcome page before the survey starts, often used for introductions or instructions.
  • Enable Survey Resume:- Allows participants to save their progress and resume the survey later from where they left off.
  • Enable Survey Rejection:- Adds a rejection workflow where responses can be reviewed and rejected if they do not meet certain criteria.
  • Enable On-Demand Verification:- Allows real-time verification of participant details or data during survey submission.
  • Approve Form & Sync Immediately:- Automatically approves and syncs survey data immediately after submission without manual intervention.
  • Survey Heading:- Rich text area used to define the main title or introductory content of the survey displayed at the top of the survey form.
  • Instructions:- Rich text area for providing respondents with guidelines, explanations, or instructions on how to complete the survey.
  • Terms & Conditions:- Rich text field for defining rules, disclaimers, or agreements participants must accept before submitting the survey.
