# Survey

Surveys let you ask employees a set of questions on a regular schedule — to check on their wellbeing, collect feedback, or flag workplace issues.

**Examples:** "Monthly Compliance Check", "Sexual Harassment Survey", "COVID-19 Wellness Check"

***

## When to use Surveys

**Catch problems early** - regular check-ins help you spot risks like injuries, harassment, or health concerns before they escalate.

**Collect feedback consistently** - even a simple Yes/No question like "Were you paid on time this month?" gives valuable insight when asked regularly.

{% hint style="info" %}
Surveys collect **opinions** — they don't have correct or incorrect answers. Use [Tests ](/missions/what-are-missions/test.md)for scored questions.
{% endhint %}

***

## How to create a Survey

Go to **Missions → In Library → Create Mission** 

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Step 1 - Mission Attributes

<table><thead><tr><th width="163">Field</th><th width="161">Required</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Title</td><td>Yes</td><td>What employees see (max 36 characters)</td></tr><tr><td>Guide</td><td>No</td><td>How to do the task (max 180 characters)</td></tr><tr><td>Categories / Tags</td><td>Yes</td><td>For organizing your library. Default category and tag applied.</td></tr><tr><td>Alert</td><td>No</td><td>Warning shown before starting (e.g. "Wear gloves")</td></tr></tbody></table>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Step 2 — Content Builder

Build your Mission content using these [question types](/missions/how-to-guides/build-a-mission.md#question-types):

* **Single select** — pick one answer from a list
* **Multi select** — pick one or more answers
* **Yes/No** or **True/False** — simple two-option choice
* **Text** — free-text response
* **Number** — numeric input (temperature, count, currency, etc.)
* **Multi Yes or No** — Yes/No for each item in a list
* **Media** — embed a training video or image
* **Person** — select an employee from a list

You can also add:

* [**Ticket** ](/missions/how-to-guides/trigger-one-ticket-for-multiple-issues.md)— trigger an alert on specific responses
* [**Dividers** ](/mobile-app/perform-a-mission.md#dividers)— organize questions into sections
* [**Photo/Video proof**](/mobile-app/perform-a-mission.md#photo-and-video-proof) — require visual evidence
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Step 3 — Add Geographic Edition

Create [localized versions](/missions/how-to-guides/build-a-mission.md#geographic-editions) of the same Mission for different regions.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Step 4 - Mission Settings

See [Mission Settings](/missions/how-to-guides/configure-mission-settings.md) for all options.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Good to know

***

* Surveys have the **same builder** as [Checklists ](/missions/what-are-missions/checklist.md)— the difference is the business purpose
* You can attach a [Ticket ](/missions/what-are-missions/ticket.md)to any response to alert management automatically
* On mobile, Surveys appear as a **guided step-by-step** flow

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.taskmaverick.com/missions/what-are-missions/survey.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
