Surveys with Reviewers Overview

There are many instances in which you would want people to submit a survey, application, or a form and then require individuals to either review this further or add comments. We have built out a process to allow surveys to be reviewed by one or many individuals, with the added functionality of scoring and adding comments to provide context to the score.

This is called 'Surveys with Reviewers' and it is an add-on feature available with any subscription. To access this feature, contact support@givepulse.com.

This article will cover:

• Enabling Your Survey for Review
• Review Questions
• Assigning Reviewers
• Reviewing a Survey Submission

Enabling Your Survey for Review

Under 'Settings' for your survey, you'll see the option to enable review. Once set to 'Yes', you'll see new edit options for 'Review Questions'.

Review Questions

Under 'Review Questions', you'll find different settings to control how users review surveys.

• Can reviewer set next reviewer?: If you have a routing system in which Reviewer 1 should select Reviewer 2, you can enable this setting
• Show review questions: You can add review questions to every survey question or they can only appear once
• Can edit review: Allow reviewers to edit their reviews
• Show reviews to responder: Allow the survey taker to see reviewer comments and answers
• Can reviewer edit response status: Allow the reviewer to edit the survey status
• Enable Review Status: Allows you to see the status of the reviewer's review
• Do you want to enable conflict of interest form: Enable a form that will allow reviewers to answer questions about possible conflicts of interest
• Hide responder info: Allows you to hide the responders information for anonymous submissions.
• Hide survey questions from reviewers: This will allow you select questions in your survey that you want to hide from reviewers. 
  
  

Following the review settings, you'll be able to use custom fields to add review questions:

Assigning Reviewers

Once a user submits a response, you can manually assign a reviewer via the Actions column. You can select a reviewer from the members of your group or invite a new user.

You can assign reviewers in bulk via Bulk Actions.

Reviewing a Survey Submission

When you assign a user as a reviewer, they will receive a notification with a link to the survey they've been assigned. Once a user has been assigned to review a survey, they can navigate to My Activity > Reviews to see all of their reviews.

Once your reviewers have reviewed the survey, then their review information will be visible via the "Reviewer" tab. Under this tab, you can use configure layout to see information such as the status of the review, the user's last visit on GivePulse, when they submitted the review, etc. Additionally, the action drop down button allows an admin to remind a reviewer, remove reviewer, message them, or make them the lead.
