When do we suggest copying a survey?

There are a few situations where copying a survey, particularly a Pre-Built Survey (PBS), could be useful:

• If a customer wants to use a PBS but wants to edit it in a way we do not support (changing questions, altering the structure, deleting questions etc.), they can copy it and edit it as a Personalised Survey.
• If a customer wants to run a new Personalised Survey that is similar to a previous one, they can copy it. 

Is there any impact of copying a survey?

There are a few impacts if a standard PBS is not used and is copied instead.

• The customer cannot use the specific neuroscience insights. Personalised insights will show.
• Any survey benchmarking will not work as the questions become unlinked from the PBS questions. 
• If a Cultural Assessment is copied, Cultural Assessment specific reports won’t be available.

How can you copy a survey?

There are two ways to copy a survey. 

1. With the first method, you can create a new Personalised Survey and add the questions you want from a PBS or other survey using ‘Filter by survey’ in the Question Manager. 

2. With the second method, you can go to Feedback > Surveys, then find the survey you wish to copy and click Actions and then select Copy. Once the survey has been copied you can start to edit it via the Survey Builder.
