HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Form - Creating and Editing Questions (Admin) [UW-Madison]

This document describes how to create and edit questions on an HelioCampus AC survey form. You must be an HelioCampus AC (Formerly AEFIS) administrator in order to edit survey forms.

A survey form can be edited only if it is in Draft status. If the survey form is in Published status, you may be able to restore it to Draft status, so long as no survey schedule has employed the form, and no students have responded to that survey. Once a survey form has been used (in Published status) it can no longer be edited. The only option will be to create a copy, and make the desired edits to the copy. See HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Form - Creating a Survey Form (Admin) [UW-Madison]

    The Edit button is on the upper half of the page, near Export

Create a New Survey Question

After navigating to the survey form designer editing page:

  1. Scroll over or select the three dot icon to expand the section menu.
    The icon looks like three vertical dots on a blue background

  2. Select the + icon to create a new question.
    Scrolling over the icon will reveal additional options

  3. Select the type of question you would like to create from the left panel of the Add Question box. See HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Form - Question Types, Settings, and Configurations (Admin and Instructor) [UW-Madison] for descriptions of each question type.
    Select a question type from the left menu bar

  4. Add your question text. If creating a multiple choice question, add designated responses.
    Note: Do not add a No Answer or Not Applicable option as one of the responses, because then a value is assigned. To have no value given, make sure to use the No Answer Option. Choose the No Answer Option, change it from Do not show to either prepend or append
  5. If you would like to use this question on future survey forms, click the Save to Question Library checkbox.
  6. Once finished, click the blue Save button.

Create a Matrix Question

Using Matrix questions, a department can ask questions in a grid format. This allows the department to ask several questions in one grid. For example, one survey may contain a matrix with 6 questions, and ask students to rank a statement from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree.

Course and instructor-type matrix questions function differently than other question types. To create a matrix question:

  1. Create all of the Multiple Choice or Instructor Multiple Choice questions that you wish to use in the matrix. The questions must have the same answer options to be grouped together.
  2. Click the gear icon at the bottom left of the first question in the matrix. Select Configure from the drop down; located next to the "matrix question" checkbox.
    Question configuration options
  3. In the window that appears, add a matrix title and select the multiple choice questions that you wish to include in the matrix.
  4. To remove a matrix, click the gear icon again, uncheck the Matrix Question checkbox, then press the blue checkmark to confirm the change.

End-users will see a matrix question as depicted in the image below. Each row in this matrix was created in the survey form as a separate multiple choice question with identical answer options (e.g. "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree").

How does a matrix question display results?

When displaying results for a matrix question, the survey will:

  • Display the data for each question.
  • Not provide an overall average.
  • Show the average value for each unique question response.
  • Export the raw data for each question in the grid as a separate question.
