ListManager's surveys are a great way to engage and interact with your readers. ListManager includes an easy survey form builder to create a questionnaire that asks for single, multiple or open-ended responses. A link to the survey can be included in your mailing to track list members' responses, or you may post the form on your website.
After conducting the survey, view and analyze the results in Reports: Surveys. These results may be published on your website if desired, or shown to survey takers after completing the questionnaire. You may see the overall results for the survey, or view responses for individual members.
After using a survey, you can segmenton the response. ListManager's dynamic segment clause wizard allows you to target those who respond to a particular question in a specified way, or those who don't respond at all.
The first step in creating and using surveys in ListManager is to create a survey form in Utilities: Web Forms: Surveys. Then, link to this form when building content by clicking insert url and selecting the Survey tab.
To track the responses of list members, you must link to ListManager's survey form in your mailing. You may also insert the HTML of the form generated here in your web site to track responses from web site visitors.
The survey form ListManager generates may be edited to match the look and feel of your email publication or website.
You may edit the HTML header and footer (the HTML before and after the actual questions) on the Utilities: Web Forms: Surveys: New/Edit Survey: Advanced tab. You may also edit the actual survey questions in Utilities: Web Forms: Surveys: New/Edit Survey: Basics.
You may edit the HTML source directly by clicking Edit Source, but once you edit the source directly, you may not use ListManager's survey form builder to edit the questions further.
NOTE Your web forms won't work if the host name assigned to ListManager is incorrect. If your form isn't working properly, check the URL to Web Interface in Utilities: Administration: Sites.
