Surveys

Surveys let you gather feedback from your team: build a set of questions, share it, and read the responses in one place.

Who can do what

Creating, sharing, and deleting surveys is an Editor capability (including admins who also edit). Viewing results is open to your team. Respondents need no HIVE login to answer. Managing the employee list you send to is an Admin task - see the Internal overview.

Build a survey

1. On the Internal dashboard, open the Team Surveys card and choose View All to reach Survey Management, then select Create New Survey. The Survey Builder opens.

2. Give it a title and, optionally, a description.

3. Add your questions. Each question has a type:

   • Short Answer - a free-text reply.
   • MCQ - a list of options the respondent chooses one of.
   • Radio - a Yes / No answer.

   Add as many as you need with the + button. A survey needs at least one question - HIVE won’t let you remove the last one (“Your survey must have at least one question.”).

4. Choose Create Survey to save it, or Discard to cancel. A title is required - without one you’ll see “Please provide a title for your survey.”

Share it

Each survey has its own link. There are two ways to get it to people:

• Copy Link - copies the survey’s public link (a /fill-survey/… address) to your clipboard, with a “Link Copied” confirmation. Share it however you like - chat, intranet, or your own email.
• Share Survey Via Email - send it straight from HIVE. In the Recipients field, use Select All Employees, pick people from your employee list, or type addresses in; edit the Subject and Content; then choose Share Survey. You’ll need at least one recipient (“Please enter at least one recipient email address.”).

Survey Management lists your surveys (searchable by title). From there you can also View a survey (opens the respondent page), open its Results, or Delete it.

Answering a survey

Respondents open the link - no HIVE login needed. Under Your Details they enter their Email Address, answer the questions, and choose Submit Response. An email is required (“Please enter your email to submit your response.”).

Each person can answer once per survey - a second attempt with the same email is turned away with “You have already attempted this survey.”

Results

Open Results on any survey for its Survey Results page. It shows:

• Total Responses - the number of responses so far.
• Respondent Breakdown - one card per response, showing the respondent’s email, the time they submitted, and their answers.

It’s a straightforward per-response view - there are no charts, no per-question aggregates, and no export.

What a response records

A survey response records the respondent’s email address, the time it was submitted, and their answers. Nothing else.

How invites are delivered

The email invite sends through HIVE’s own email service - there’s no email setup to do. Optionally, an admin can send from your company’s own domain instead, set up under Settings → Email - an optional admin step.

Deleting a survey

Delete a survey from Survey Management and confirm with Permanently Delete. This removes the survey and all its responses, and can’t be undone.

Good to know

• The email invite goes to your employee list, which an admin manages in Settings → Employees - see the Internal overview for how that list works. The public link, on the other hand, can be answered by anyone who has it.
