How to: Create a Web Survey
Web Surveys are used to request feedback from existing clients/contacts. They are completely customize-able with answer options such as check boxes, multiple choice, and open ended questions. We also offer the ability for clients to Upload up to 10 mb's worth .pdf, .jpg, and .png files to use as answers to survey questions.
Note: Web Surveys do not offer the ability to use a clients preferred language. A separate survey can be created in another language and then send to clients who use that preferred language.
