The Xitracs Survey feature lets you gather information from faculty members using a familiar survey tool. Surveys can be built with different response options, such as text input or radio button selection. Files may also be uploaded in support of a response.
Note: Respondents must be existing faculty members.
The control panel list of surveys will look similar to the following:
The from and closing Dates columns show when the survey will be available to respondents. Outside of these dates the survey will have a status of Closed and will not be available.
The Available and Status columns show whether the survey will be included in a respondents survey list. Availability is set automatically (see dates above) or can be set manually using the Edit function.
The Plan Links column displays the number of plan links in the survey. See Link to Plans below.
The Function column includes links for managing and building a survey. See below.
