    • Survey Group: Enter a name of the survey group you are creating here. Each row of responses is treated as a new survey group. You can create multiple survey groups here and add the responses of those groups as required. Note: We can now use the existing survey group name. The response will be generated as the latest version.

    • Users: Enter the email addresses of those users associated with this group. Multiple emails can be added by separating them with commas.

    • Questions: Each question in the survey will be displayed on a new column. Enter the response to that question in the cell below that question.

  8. In the example below, multiple survey groups have been created with the responses of each group Image showing entries ofmultiple sample Survey groups in excel sheet

    Note: Some survey questions could be in a drop-down, radio group, Boolean or Rating format (the question itself will have options to choose from. An example of a radio group question is given below)

    In such cases, if the answer entered on the excel sheet is not a part of question itself, it will be considered an error and the answered entered on the sheet will not be visible once the survey has been uploaded to the Tool. For example, if the answer entered on the sheet to the above question is Company Data, then this answer will automatically be deleted. If the question includes "Other (Describe)," the non-existing value will be appended as "Other" with the specified value.

  9. Once all the responses have been entered, save the survey on your device
