Survey builder

The Survey builder is where administrators design the questionnaires the rest of ShelterSync uses — both post-activity surveys (filled in by volunteers after an activity) and behavioral assessment templates (used on the Assessments page).

Design the surveys volunteers fill in.

Build post-activity surveys and assessment templates: add questions, set which answers are allowed, and control when questions appear.

What you can do here

• Create a new survey
• Add questions and answer options
• Map a survey to activity types

Build a survey

1. Create a new survey and give it a title.
2. Choose its purpose:
   • Activity survey — shown to volunteers after an activity. You map it to one or more activity types.
   • Assessment — a behavioral assessment template used on the Assessments page.
3. Add questions. Each question has a type:
   • Rating — a 1–5 scale.
   • Yes / no with a note — a yes/no answer plus an optional comment.
   • Multiple choice (single or multiple answers), text, and number.
4. Review and save.

Scoring (for assessments)

Assessment templates can be scored. You give answers point values and set thresholds that turn a total score into a 🟢 green / 🟡 yellow / 🔴 red risk level. That's how a submitted assessment produces its result — see Behavioral assessments.

TIP

The survey builder is administrator-only. Volunteers and staff fill in surveys; they don't design them.
