Surveys Overview

Surveys are a powerful tool of measurement used to track progress and provide feedback. LifeOmic's Survey tool allows users to create customized questions and responses to survey their clients and customers with the end goal of collecting valuable and measurable data.

Survey Questions and Responses​

A well-constructed Survey provides valuable feedback. When building your survey, consideration of audience, content, format, placement, and wording ensure you obtain the feedback you seek.

Questions​

Your questions should be clear, to the point, and relevant to the survey response or feedback you intend to collect. Consider your survey audience and the response type you will use to collect the feedback when constructing your question.

For instance, if surveying a small population for suggestions on improving their experience with your company, a Single Textbox question would allow them to type a short text response to suggest their own ideas. However, if asking the same question of a larger population, where reading through a large quantity of responses would be time consuming, a Matrix response is a better option. This response type allows participants to rate each topic you present, providing data that can be easily graphed and analyzed.

Survey Responses​

Survey Responses for questions can be as simple as "Yes/No" or as complex as a rating scale. While all responses allow analysis of data and feedback, not all responses are graphable. This is an important consideration when administering your survey to a large population.

Survey Response types​

  • Single Textbox (short text response)
  • Checkbox (single statement requiring a yes/no response such as "Click this box if you were a patient of Acme Medical in 2019.")
  • Multiple Choice (preset list of options for responses)
  • Matrix (rating scale response)
  • Photo (allows the participant to upload a photo as a response)
  • Lifeology (add a Lifeology course to a survey)
tip

The easiest responses to graph in the LifeOmic Platform Insights tab are Matrix, Single Textbox with numeric answer option, and Multiple Choice.
