Before You Dive In

This article is one step from our Master Help Guide: All About Surveys. We recommend starting with the visual walkthrough video and examples inside the Master Help Guide before diving into the technical breakdown below.

Each Master Help Guide acts as your project plan – teaching you the feature, laying out the steps in the right order, and linking to every resource you’ll need along the way.

This guide is perfect if you want to:

  • Build a multi‑step survey using drag‑and‑drop elements in the Survey Builder

  • Add and configure different question types, custom fields, and survey slides

  • Customise your survey’s layout, colours, and fonts to match your brand
    ​

How to Build and Customise Your Survey

Below you'll find step-by-step written and video instructions to guide you through building and customising your survey:

Click here for the written steps

  1. Build your survey
    ​

    1. From the main Ivorey™ menu, go to Site Pages > then along the top menu bar hover over Surveys > then click [Builder]
      ​

    2. Click the [+ Create New] button to open up the Survey Builder
      ​

    3. Name your survey by clicking the pencil icon [✏️] at the top of your screen
      ​

    4. On the left-hand side you will see a menu bar where you can drag and drop the elements you want to include in your form:
      ​

      1. The elements under the Personal Info section are pre-made elements you can drag and drop to collect the contacts details
        ​

      2. The elements under the Payments section offer the option to collect payment through your survey
        ​
        *Please note that payment functionality in surveys is limited, e.g you can't offer coupon codes or other payment options like AfterPay. For the most payment functionality we recommend creating a Sales Funnel and using the Order Form feature
        ​

      3. The elements under the Addresses section are pre-made elements you can drag and drop to collect the contacts address details
        ​

      4. The elements under the Text and Choice Elements section are designed for you to customise to your specific questions. Here you have the option to select if you want text, drop down or checklist formatting
        ​

      5. The element under the Rating section allows you to collect ratings inside your surveys
        ​

      6. The elements under the Customised and Other sections are for you to embed additional elements like headings, extra copy, images, files, dates and collect signatures if required
        ​

    5. Drag and drop the elements you want to add to your survey, until you have added all the questions and details you want to your collect. To create a new slide, click the [+] icon under the first slide and continue this process until your survey is complete
      ​
      When creating your custom fields, drag and drop the element you want to use > click on the element > type your question into the Label field and the Query Key field in the right-hand side menu. To have more control over how your custom fields are stored, you can click on the [custom fields] tab and add them from there instead
      ​
      ​Best Practice Tip: Surveys are best created with only 1-2 questions on each page to create an interactive experience and reduce overwhelm for the contact submitting the survey
      ​
