1. General description

With the "Survey" application you will be able to create a question and answer contest to better understand your followers and customers, obtain feedback on your brand and products, learn about their consumer habits or find out about their preferences on a specific topic. The Survey will allow you to:

• Design the questionnaire completely tailored to your needs, personalized with photos, texts and videos.
• Combine different types of answers (single answer, multiple-answer and even sortable answers).
• Create as many questions as you want, and indicate which is the correct answer to each of them.
• Enable the summary page to show the participants a summary of their answers before registering.
• Reward the participants with a final draw among all the users who have completed the Survey.
• Assign different and segmented prizes according to the response preferences of the users in the Survey.

2. How is the participation flow of the user

What will the user experience be like? The promotion is made up of different pages that the user will find when interacting with the promotion to participate, such as: the initial welcome page, the registration page, where the user will register with their data, the page that presents the questions of the survey, etc. As a whole, the different pages will make up the structure of the promotion and the flow of participation that the user will follow to complete the promotional mechanics of the promotion.

Additionally, as the administrator, you can select which participation flow you want users to follow. Specifically, there are three different participation flows available: the Identified Mode, where the user must identify and register before playing; the Visitor Mode, where the user plays first and then identifies and registers; and the Anonymous Mode, where the user participates without identifying or registering. The choice of one mode or another will determine how participation and the user experience in the promotion will unfold.

Learn in this article how each participation flow works, as well as the different pages that make up a promotion.

There you will see the pre-configured questions, and can begin to create your own questions:

3. A window like the one below appears every time you create a new question. Choose the type of question that suits your aims. If you are already familiar with the Quiz Editor and want to use more complex question formats, pick "Advanced" to see all the available question types.

When you click on the "Create" button, the question editor will open. Here you can edit the following options:

1. Question text: Type the question you want to ask users here.

2. Upload Media: Decide if you want to accompany the question with an image or video.

3. Position: If you upload an image for the question, choose between a horizontal or vertical display.

4. Answers: Click the "New Answer" button to create as many answers as you want:

5. Advanced. Here you will find all the options to configure your question:

• Feedback message text: You can present an informative text with the correct answer after users answer the question. You can customize different feedback messages for correct and incorrect answers.
• Hide question text: In case you have uploaded an image which design includes the question itself, you can hide the text of the question. 
• Container columns: It will allow you to indicate how many answers you want to show per row.
• Question type: In case you need to modify the type of question you have initially created.
• Hide Continue button: Check this option if you want the user to move to the next question by just clicking on the answer buttons. By default, the Continue button is displayed in closed answers to allow users to move forward to the next questions of the quiz.
• Select the scoring system: for questions with multiple correct answers, you can decide if users will get the points for each correct answer selected, or if their answers are only considered as correct if they have selected all the correct answers. If you select that second scoring system, you will be able to configure the number of points you want the user to receive.

If you have created a "Single answer" question, the participant will only be able to select one answer option:

The platform offers several different answer formats. All formats are available in Survey promotions, since your goal is to enable users to respond with their opinion.

Closed answers

Use this if you want to offer a limited number of answers, from which participants must choose one or more.

There are two types of closed questions:

1. Single answer: the participant can only select one answer.

Important! Always use this type of question if you are setting up a “Pick your favorite” contest with the questionnaire editor. In this way, the user will only be able select/vote for one of the options.

2. Multiple answers: permit the participant to select more than one answer.

Sortable answers

The participant must put the answers in order (using all the options, or just a set number of them).

Rating answers

Rating answers are especially useful for surveys. Participants can award each option a score within a certain range.

Note: in this type of answer, participants may decide to score all the options, or only the options which interest them.

Open answers

Permit the participant to respond to the question freely, using their own words.

Selectable list answer

This feature is useful if you have a lot of possible answers, but you want the participant to choose just one. There are 3 different formats for presenting the answer. Select one of them when setting up this field:

• Drop-down list
• Autocomplete list
• Radiobutton list

Display answer statistics

Once the participant has registered for the promotion and finished filling in the survey, you can show them the statistics of their answers on the final page. If you’re interested in this option, use the survey editor to set it up:
