Adding a New Survey

Managers and supervisors create and deploy surveys to understand customer satisfaction. Surveys may be used to review customer satisfaction and/or the work of the agent.

The following steps are required when creating a survey:

To add a new survey:

  1. Go to Questionnaires to display the current list of questionnaires in Quality Management.

  2. Click New to add a new blank questionnaire.

  3. In the Choose Questionnaire type box, click Survey.

  4. Click OK



  5. Type a name for the questionnaire in the Name field

  6. Click the Properties button.



  7. Select the Scoring System. The default is Percent. The following options are available:

    • Points: Each answer is assigned a "weight" in points, for example 10. The questionnaire score is the sum of all selected answer points. Answers can have a negative point value, for example -10. Select this option if you intend to create a new NPS® survey

    • Percent: Each question and answer group is assigned a "weight" in percent. The minimum is 1%, the maximum is 100. The final questionnaire percentage score is the weighted average of the selected answers.

    • Grades: (Discontinued as of Version V 6) Each answer is assigned a "weight" in grade value. The minimum: 0.001 equals "best", maximum: 5 equals "worst", where each question and question group must be assigned a percentage weight, minimum: 1 maximum is 100. The final questionnaire score grade is the weighted average of the selected answers.  

  8. Select the Auto-Sort Answers By: method to display all answer listings using this questionnaire. The following options are available:

    • Creation Time: when the questionnaire was created.

    • Weight - Ascending

    • Weight - Descending

  9. Type a Weight (q) for Reports: The default is 1.00. The "q" option assigns a global weight for this questionnaire when included in a report with multiple questionnaire scores. The allowed weight range is 0.00 to 1.00, double digit fractions. In all reports, the total score is calculated as a weighted average of the final scores from each questionnaire.

Click OK.

NPS® SURVEY: Please note! A Net Promoter ScoreSM (NPS) Survey template is provided for your convenience and further use under the Questionnaires list. Demo files are also provided for download (see the page Adding a New Questionnaire).

To create a new NPS Survey, the Scoring System must be set to Points.

CAUTION: Changing the scoring system for a questionnaire after question groups or questions and answers are added causes inaccuracy. Therefore check all weight values in the questionnaire for accuracy after changing the scoring system used.
