Sharing a staff survey
Once your staff survey is set up, you need to distribute it to your participants. There are three ways of doing this.
Uploading email addresses to the portal
This video guides you through the process of uploading staff email addresses to the portal. If you prefer a written guide, you can also find this below.
First, log in to your School Surveys account through the portal. Click the name of your school in the top left corner of the page. Then click on settings.
First click recipients and then staff. You can then type email addresses into the box below. You can also copy and paste a list. Once this is done, click add.
You will then see the email addresses you have already added. You can also click on the ‘bin’ icon to remove any email addresses you no longer require.
We will then be able to send out any surveys for you to the email addresses you have provided when the survey opens. Staff who haven’t responded will receive an automatic reminder email the working day before the survey closes.
Please note: we cannot distribute surveys to mailing groups. Please ensure that all staff email addresses are included individually. The quickest way to do this is to copy and paste a list.
Distribute the generated link yourself
If you don’t wish to upload email addresses to the portal, you can copy and paste the link for your survey and send it out to your staff through whichever channel of communication you use at your school.
To do this, first click on the survey you wish to distribute on your portal home page.
Simply click on the link in the bottom right hand corner of the page. It will automatically copy the link for you.
Share this link with your survey participants. As soon as the survey is open, they can click on the link and start answering questions!
Distributing the QR code
When you create your survey, there is also the option to distribute using the QR code. On the Survey Summary page, simply click the Share QR Code button.
A pop up with the QR code will appear on your screen. You can choose to download this QR code or copy it.
