Generating Surveying Feedback
After the Surveying feedback option is built and set up to fit your needs, you’re ready to generate the feedback. Generating feedback will make it available for people to answer the questions and submit their responses, which are captured in Striven. There are several options when generating Surveying feedback that are the same whether you’re generating a Survey, Quiz, Assessment, or Form. Below is a screenshot illustrating how generating Surveying appears and a list describing what can be accomplished here.
- Expires On: Allows you to choose a date and time for when the Surveying expires. Once the expiration arrives, no more responses will be captured.
- Relate Feedback: If you chose to store a copy in the recipient’s Hub, then you can choose the entity here. Available options include Customers, Candidates, Employees, Orders, and Projects. Once the form is submitted, a copy will be in the recipient’s Hub and at the feedback level.

- Link Type: There are two types of Links which each serve unique purposes.
- Public Links can be answered by anybody and can also be embedded into websites. The person completing the Survey will be asked to enter their email at the beginning of the feedback process.
- Internal Links can only be answered by Employees. The user will need to be logged in to the Striven system where the Survey is housed in order to complete the feedback.
- Share Options: Allow you to share with Employees, Candidates, or Customer/Vendor Contacts for them to submit feedback.

Managing Surveying Feedback
After the Surveying option is generated, recipients can complete and submit their feedback accordingly using the generated link. Depending on what you have enabled on the feedback, recipients will be able to answer questions, view the printable format, and sign their screen all with the link they receive. When the feedback is submitted, it will be available for Employees to manage within Striven. Generated Surveying feedback can be exported to an Excel file to be manipulated in whatever way you see fit. If the recipient receives a copy in their Hub, they can view the submitted feedback in their Portal for review as well. Below is a screenshot illustrating how a submitted Quiz appears in Striven.

FAQs

If I build a Customer satisfaction survey in Striven, can I attach the Survey on Orders or emails to Customer Contacts?
Yes, Surveying feedback can be attached to Sales Orders and sent to Contacts when an Order is marked complete for them to submit feedback. You can also attach Surveying options in Workflow email campaigns for recipients to submit feedback as well.

Can Candidates fill out an internal Form to submit feedback?
Candidates cannot fill out an internal-linked Form as they do not have Striven Employee login credentials.

If you choose to store a copy in the recipient’s Hub, then Candidates will be able to view the finished form within their Portal as well.
