Cloudy Survey & Form Knowledge Base

Post-Setup Requirement

After installing the Survey package, the application must be configured before it can be used by end users through the user interface (UI).

If a user or administrator is unable to see the Cloudy Survey & Form product (or its tabs/apps) in the App Launcher or the main navigation bar after installation, the cause is typically missing Permission Set Assignments.

The following steps must be performed by a Salesforce Administrator to grant the necessary permissions to the specific user:

Steps to Assign Required Permission Sets

Step 1: Go to Setup (⚙️ Gear Icon)

  • Click the gear icon in the upper-right corner of Salesforce.
  • Select Setup from the dropdown.

Step 2: Open Users List

  • In the Quick Find box on the left, type Users.
  • Click on Users under the “Users” section.

Step 3: View All Users

  • If you don’t see the user, click the View dropdown and select All Users to show everyone.

Step 4: Select the Target User

  • Click on the Name of the user who needs access to the product/app.

Step 5: Open Permission Set Assignments

  • On the user’s record page, scroll down to find the Permission Set Assignments related list.
  • Click Edit Assignments.

Step 6: Find the Required Permission Sets

  • In the Available Permission Sets list, locate:
    • Survey Full Permission – gives full access to create, edit, and manage surveys.
    • Survey Guest User Permission – required for public-facing forms to collect data.

Step 7: Assign Permission Sets

  • Select both permission sets.
  • Click the Add (→) arrow to move them to the Enabled Permission Sets column.

Step 8: Save Changes

  • Click Save to finalize the permission assignments.

Once these steps are completed, the user should log out and log back in, and the Cloudy Survey & Form application and tabs will be visible in their App Launcher and navigation bar.

This application needs to be configured after Cloudy Survey & Form package installation and before the end user begins using it through the user interface (UI).
