Understanding Surveys in PeopleSoft Services Procurement

PeopleSoft Services Procurement enables enterprise users to create performance surveys that are sent to recipients once their work orders are complete, canceled, or terminated. Enterprise users can create, edit, and send surveys to individual recipients, or distribute surveys to a list of recipients. Surveys are sent both automatically and manually, depending on the configuration of the work order environment. Once the survey is received and completed by the recipient, enterprise users can view survey responses.

Setting Up Surveys

To set up surveys, use the Setup Surveys (SP_SUR_DEFN) component. To define format and answer choices for work order survey questions, use the Response Type (SP_SUR_RESTYP) component. To set up surveys by service type, use the Survey by Service Type (SP_SURVEY_BY_SVTYP) component.

This section discusses how to:

• Define survey business unit option.

• Define service type attributes.

• Define role distribution lists.

• Define response types.

• Set up surveys.

• Set up survey - service types.
