# Creating Surveys

You can create as many surveys as you'd like on the Admin Panel. You also have the option to automate surveys and have them sent to customers on a regular basis.

*For example, send a quarterly satisfaction check to see if your members are happy with your services or an end-of-tenancy review when companies cancel their office contracts.*

Surveys are a useful tool to collect feedback and improve your operations. It's also a great way to check in on your customers and make sure they're happy with what you currently offer.

## Step 1. Creating Survey Structure

1. Log in to [dashboard.nexudus.com](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/) if you aren't already.
2. Click **Community > Surveys**.
3. Click **Add survey**.
4. Name your survey.

          This name will also be the survey's title.

          

1. Select your location.
2. Add a **Description** of your survey.

          This description will be displayed under the survey's title.

          

1. Select the **Audience** of your survey.

*You can send surveys to **all customers**, **only contacts**, **only members**, or **only members signed up to specific plans**.*

1. Select whether you want to send your survey manually or automate it and send the survey to the selected audience on a regular basis through the **Automatic send** section.
2. If you picked a recurring option in **Automatic send**, select until when you'd like the automatic send to run.
3. Click the **Save Changes** button.

Your survey's record opens, and you can start adding questions to it by clicking on the **Questions** tab.

## Step 2. Add Questions to Your Survey

The next step is to add your question to your survey. Survey questions can be one of the following types:

#### Date

Customers answer the question by clicking on the calendar icon and selecting the relevant date from the pop-up calendar.

#### File

Customers answer the question by uploading any type of file under 5MB.

          Make sure you specify the file format in your question if you expect a specific one.

          

For example, if you only want PDF files, add that specification in the question or its description.

#### Long text

Customers answer the question by adding one or multiple paragraphs. This type doesn't have a character limit.
