Overview of Surveys in Laserfiche Cloud
For Laserfiche Cloud Users, in Laserfiche Process Automation, Surveys let you collect and analyze data using forms, without having to configure a full-fledged business process.
> Access Survey by selecting Surveys from the Process Automation landing page.
> To create a new Survey, click New. Provide a name and click Create (Design your survey following the same principles as designing a form for a business process).
> Drag fields on to the survey and configure rules, overall appearance, and more.
> Click Publish when the survey is ready.
> Navigate to the Manage page, and select the checkbox next to the survey you just published.
> In the right pane, you can Enable the survey to allow general users to submit their surveys (Only administrators and developers can submit disabled surveys. You can also make the survey public or private. Private requires users to sign into Laserfiche to fill out the survey).
> In the Link section is the URL that will take users to the survey. You can edit the last portion of this link to make it more descriptive.
> Click Share to easily copy or email the link to the survey.
> Click the Notifications tab to receive web or email notifications when surveys are submitted.
> Click the Reports button to view submission data for the survey. Here you can view the survey results submitted over a specific time period, see survey answers in a variety of chart and graph formats, and review individual survey submissions.
You can also view survey reports and edit surveys directly from the Laserfiche Home page.
