Subject line

Click on the Subject line.
You can write a custom subject line for the survey or use predefined suggestions. Another option is to use the survey's first question as the subject line. Please feel free to add any translations needed in your organisation.

More information: How can I make the subject line more personal?

Can I edit the questions?

Yes. We recommend that you only make minor changes to the question and try to avoid changing the nature of the question. Sometimes you may need to rephrase a question, for example, remove the word "leader" from the question: "Do you feel that you get support from your immediate manager/leader at XX when you need it"?
