Defining the respondents of a survey
Prerequisites
- Created and structured survey.
- Access to the Management > Survey planning (SV005) menu.

Introduction
When creating a survey, we must add the users who will answer it.
Respondents may or may not belong to SoftExpert Suite. If they are not part of the system, it is possible to use the Guest tab to make them respondents of the record.
See below how to define the respondents of a survey:

6. Select the respondent type in the Control field:
-
Organizational unit: Users from a specific organizational unit will be the survey respondents.
- If this control is checked, the business unit hierarchy and the departments belonging to the business units will be displayed. When the “Consider sublevels” option is checked, the organizational units that are below in the hierarchy will also be considered.
- It is possible to enable the options of checking all sublevels or unchecking all sublevels of the selected organizational unit. When the “Check all sublevels” button is used, organizational subunits added later will not be incorporated into the respondent list.
