When you use the Select Survey field to select a survey that has already been created, the details of that survey will be displayed in the Add/Modify a Survey form below and you will then be able to modify the survey.

The following options also appear once you have selected an existing survey:
  • Edit Questions - Click on this button to be taken to the question editor. From there you will be able to add, modify and delete any questions and answers from the survey you have created.

  • Preview - Clicking on this button will popup a new window that allows you to preview your survey without actually submitting any results. Any question requirements are still enforced, so it will behave as would be expected for the final users. You can preview a survey when it is deactivated.

  • Activate or Deactivate - When your survey is created, it defaults to a Deactivated state. This allows you to fully complete and test the survey without users being able to access it. Once your survey is finalized and ready to go live, you should activate the survey by clicking the Activate button. Any starting and ending dates will still be enforced on an active survey. You can stop any submissions on the survey by clicking the Deactivate button on an active survey.

  • Export - You can export a survey, along with all questions, into a single file which will allow you to swap this file with another user of perlQ who can then import the survey using the form at the bottom of the Survey Editor. Survey Results will not be included in this export. If you wish to back those up, you should check out the Configuration tab.

  • Delete - To remove a survey and all related questions and results, click on this button. You will be prompted with a javascript alert box, and if you click OK the survey will be removed from the system. You cannot undo this action.
