Can I add custom lifecycle questions?

You can build and manage your own questions directly from the Macorva Surveys page.

  • Log into your Macorva admin account and go to Configure > Surveys.
  • In the category, select Employee lifecycle then in the dropdown (next to No survey), select the survey you want to edit.
  • There are two ways to access the custom question editor:
    • Option 1: Scroll down to Survey configuration and select Customized questions to open the Question Library.
    • Option 2: From the survey preview on the right-hand side, click Add/edit questions.
  • Under Available questions, click on Add new question.
  • Select an existing Question group, or create a new group by selecting Edit groups
  • Question Groups allow you to group together similar questions to easily identify and add these to future surveys. Once you add a question, it joins your library and can be inserted into any of your surveys.
  • Choose your Question type. Below are the available formats and their specific options.

Question Types

Common Fields (Found in most question types):

  • Question Text: The question or statement your employees will see. Use the formatting options to customize its appearance.
  • Name: A short, internal-facing label for the question. This is used for easy identification in reports and data filters.

Multiple Choice

Allows survey recipients to select one or more predefined answers.

  • Display answers: Show answer choices Horizontally or Vertically.
  • Maximum number of selections: Set the limit of how many options a user can choose. (For example, set to 1 for a standard multiple-choice or higher for “select all that apply”).
  • Answers: Enter the text for each answer choice.

 

Rating Scale

Asks survey recipients to provide a rating on a numerical scale.

  • Display choices: Choose from various visual styles, including Horizontally, Vertically, Stars, Faces, or a Slider. You can also choose as numbers, large middle or as numbers, boxes. 
  • Scale: Set the rating range (1-5, 1-7, or 0-10).
  • Labels: Customize the text for the low and high ends of the scale. (For example, "Strongly disagree" and "Strongly agree").

 

Free text

Allows for open-ended, written responses.

  • Display answers: Configure the size of the text box: Single line, Multiple lines, or various Inline sizes.

(Note: For a Free text question, you also have the option to Enable sentiment analysis. To do this, click on the checkbox.)

Display only

This is not a question but a way to add informational text, instructions, or a section break anywhere in your survey.


Display Logic

  • For any question, you can decide whether it should always be displayed or shown conditionally (dynamically) based on responses to previous questions.

Adding Questions to your survey 

  • Click Save question. Your custom question is now saved to the Question group you selected and is available for use in any survey.
  • In the Available questions section, find the question you just created within its group and select the checkbox next to it to add it to the current survey.
  • Your new question will automatically appear up top at the end of the survey. In the Selected questions section, click on the 6 dots and simply drag and drop it to the desired position.
  • Repeat these steps to add more custom questions, then click Continue at the bottom to save your survey changes.

Once you create a question, it is automatically saved to your Question Library and becomes available for use in all surveys. This eliminates the need to recreate or duplicate questions across different surveys.
