Some important things to keep in mind while editting surveys

  • You cannot edit a current question. If you would like to make changes to a question, you need to:
    • Make a copy of the question you’d like to edit. You can copy the question you want to make changes to by clicking on the pulldown next to the question number and clicking Copy.
      Question editor menu with Copy option highlighted.
    • Make the edits to the copy.
    • Remove the old question.
  • Do not create a question matrix. They present accessibility issues on mobile devices.
  • When you are done making your edits, exit the editor and make sure you make your changes live by selecting the Publish option. If you don’t, the changes you made will not be in the system the next time a survey is given to students. Also note that if you make edits after the edit deadline (given by CTS on the SET page) they may not make it to the students until the next semester.
