Adding survey templates in Workflow Automation is one of the tasks in configuring Workflow Automation. Admins with access to Workflow Automation can add and map survey templates. A survey template provides the format for the survey that an end user must complete when responding to an event notification from Workflow Automation. The survey includes questions that, when answered, provide the justification for the event.

When an admin configures a notification template, they can choose to format a link in the notification template that enables the user to view the event details and the survey. When a user receives the notification, they can click the link, which opens the events page and the survey that they must complete. The template settings on the Template Mappings page determine the notification template and the survey template that Workflow Automation uses for the different event types and notification types.

Workflow Automation provides the system default End-user Justification - Questionnaire Template survey template. You can create only one template in each language. You cannot create two templates of the same language for a single template family.

Admins cannot edit the system default survey template. They can only view and clone the default survey template.

On the Survey Templates page, admins can:

• View Survey Templates

  To view existing survey templates:

  1. Go to Setup > Survey Templates. The Survey Templates page appears.
  2. (Optional) Filter the templates by status, type, template family, or language. You can also search for specific templates that you want to view.
  3. (Optional) Reset all the applied filters.

  4. View a list of survey templates configured for your organization. For each survey template, you can see:

     • Template Name: The name of the template.

       • Radiogroup
       • Single Input
       • Comment
       • Boolean
       • Expression

       Respondents use these editors to select a desired value in each cell.
