Overview
Surveys in ManagementStudio allow administrators to collect additional information from users. Common use cases include validating user data, distributing policy documentation, or requesting details about specific applications. Users complete surveys through a web browser interface.
This guide describes the Form Setup panel for Portal Forms (Surveys). While the examples reference the Applications module, Surveys are supported across the Users, Devices, Applications, Mailboxes, Deployment Units, Bespoke, and Defects modules.
