Create a custom engagement survey

Custom surveys are one of the many options we offer for adding questions to an engagement campaign, and can be combined with any other default survey options to create an engagement campaign. If you want to add custom questions to an engagement campaign outside those offered in our default surveys, you can create a custom survey that contains those questions.

Note

Open-ended response and opinion response questions included in custom surveys are optional, meaning that employees aren't required to answer them to submit their survey.


Edit a custom survey

Custom surveys can be edited until they are used in a campaign, at which point they are locked and cannot be changed.

  1. Click Engagement in 15Five's main, left-hand navigation to open the Engage Portal.
