Overview
Survey Forms help you collect feedback, opinions, ratings, and responses from customers, employees, students, or event attendees. SPRL Online Forms includes dedicated survey fields such as Star Rating and Scale Rating, along with standard form fields, allowing you to build simple or detailed surveys without coding.
Survey responses are automatically stored in the Leads dashboard, where you can review individual submissions and export the collected data for further analysis.
Good to Know:
A survey can include both survey-specific fields and regular form fields. For example, you can ask respondents to rate your service using a Star Rating while also collecting written feedback in a Long Text field.
