Surveys can be created by Leaders and Important References. 


Surveys are used to ask single or multiple questions to specific groups. You can include skip logic and you can specify who can see the results. This is a great option for voting, gauging interest in committees, getting feedback on recruitment, initiation or your new member period, or ranking options such as big/little selection. Click here for more information on when to use Surveys, Questions, & Forms

Some key attributes of MCR Surveys: 

  • Surveys have a page break option. Because of this, you can use skip logic when navigating through the survey. An example of skip logic would be "What academic class are you?" and depending on what option they choose, will depend on what page the survey will navigate to.

  • Surveys cannot be completed anonymously

  • Each survey can only be completed a single time per Member 

  • You do not “sign” a survey, you simply submit 

  • Those who can see replies (reports) of surveys remain with who was in the group at the time the Survey was created 

    • When you look at archived surveys and it says “Active Lifetime Members” that would be the Active Lifetime Members at the time the survey was created. 

  • When you are creating a survey you can only send the survey to groups of Members (i.e. Active Lifetime Members or Intramural Dodgeball Team) 

  • Who can view replies to the survey can be set as individuals or as groups, which differs from forms where replies are associated with a specific position. 

    • Who can view replies can be edited if need be after you create the survey
