Adding Survey Questions
Each survey consists of a number of questions and each question must have several possible answers. Prompt-only questions have no answers and are used to add welcome and goodbye audio messages to the survey. All questions must have a voice-over file linked to each question.

- Customer feedback – These types of questions are used so that customers can provide verbal feedback, which is recorded and attached to the survey results. These questions require a N/A option for two reasons:
- In case the customer disconnects the call. N/A answer without an associated digit is used as it can not be scored.
- The client provides feedback and the voice recording is attached as a media file. An N/A answer is attached as the response is not scored but used for internal purposes.
- NPS® Question – This type allows for creation of a NPS (Net Promoter ScoreSM) Survey. It contains 12 options with values ranging from 0 to 10, plus the n/a (not applicable) option. You may add only one NPS Question to a questionnaire. (This question type is only available when Scoring System is set to "Points". Read more on the Adding a New Survey page.)
- Prompt only – This question doesn't contain any answers. The prompt is played and the survey automatically proceeds to the next question. No scoring is available for this type of question.
- Regular question – Contains one or more answers. The answers are selected by pressing the associated digit on the phone keypad. The last option for these types of questions is always a N/A answer without an associated digit in the event that the caller hangs up without completing the survey.

Uploading an Audio Voice-Over for a Question

The following .WAV file format is supported: CCITT u-Law, 8 kHz, 8 Bit, Mono 7 kb/sec
