How You Use Questionnaires to Create General Surveys
Use questionnaires to create stand-alone, generic surveys that aren’t linked to specific HCM product flows such as performance or recruiting. For example, you can create an organization-wide annual survey to gather employee feedback on specific organization functions or create an end-of-project survey to understand customer satisfaction levels.
To create a general survey questionnaire, define a questionnaire template with the subscriber as General Surveys, and then create the questionnaire based on the template. While creating the template and the questionnaire, select the folder as General Surveys.
When creating general surveys, you can use all the features of questionnaires such as conditional questions, questions with images, or questions with text or date type of responses. After creating the questionnaire, you use REST APIs for accessing it and publishing it to specific participants.
Using REST APIs to Manage General Surveys and Responses
Use the existing questionnaire
REST API resource to read and manage
questionnaires, questions, and answers for general surveys. In addition, use these
REST API resources to manage the responses to general surveys:
-
questionnaireParticipants
-
questionnaireResponses
(child resource ofquestionnaireParticipants
) -
questionResponses
(child resource ofquestionnaireParticipants
)
- Create a questionnaire for the General Survey subscriber.
- Access the questionnaire to review the questionnaire setup.
- Post responses to the questionnaire and update them.
- Retrieve responses from the questionnaire and view them.
Secure responses posted to general surveys using a person security profile. You can only access responses from participants that you have access to, through their person security profile.
You must have these security privileges to perform specific operations on the questionnaire Participants REST API:
