What the framework is
A survey asks everyone the same questions and puts the answers side by side. Each question has a type, which decides how it is answered and how its results are shown.
A survey is one list of questions, or several sections. Each section holds options to rank by its own method, a list of questions, or quiz questions with a correct answer. Participants answer the sections in turn, each with its own introduction, and the results are shown section by section: each section's ranking stands on its own, with no overall ranking across sections.

What you can set
Survey
Whether a survey is one list of questions or several sections.
- Simple: One list of questions.
- Multi-section: Sections, each ranking options, asking questions or a quiz. Participants see "Section N of M".
Delivery
Whether each participant answers in their own time, or everyone answers the slide you show from a stage.
- Self-paced: Each participant answers in their own time, from a link, code or QR code, whether everyone is in one room or not.
- Live: You lead it from a stage: participants answer the slide you show, and answers count as they are given.
Shuffle the order of the sections
Gives each respondent their own random order of the sections.
- Off
- On
Question types
- Question: A question answered in the participant's own words.
- Text / Image Slide: A page with nothing to answer: a heading, and a body, an image or both.
- Order: A ranking inside a question: options ranked by a method, as a ranking's own options are.
- Share: Participants share a total between options.
- Select: Participants choose from your options: one, or several.
- Create List: Participants write a list of their own items.
- Opinion Scale: Participants rate on a scale, or answer with a number.
- Checklist: Participants answer Yes or No to each of your statements.
- Whiteboard: A shared board participants add notes to, in a Live session.
- Brainstorming: Participants add ideas to a shared board, in a Live session.
- Quiz: A question with one correct answer.
- Word Cloud: Participants give words, and the results show them as a cloud.
When it earns its place
Use it for event feedback, a consultation, a needs check before a workshop, or a session led from the front of a room: wherever everyone answers the same questions.
How to run it with a group
- Add the questions, choosing a type for each, or add the sections and choose what each one holds.
- Share the link, QR code or join code: each participant moves through the questions in their own time. Participants do not need an account to respond.
- Or lead it live from a stage: participants answer the slide you show, and answers count as they are given.
- Read the results question by question, or section by section.
