Our custom surveys module allows staff to ask athletes/users a wide range of survey and question types. From one off knowledge collection forms to regular bespoke touch points.

Response Periods

    1. Group (Default will go to all users in the survey)

    2. Day

    3. Time

Note: Reminder will only be sent inside a period that a user can submit in and only if they have not done the survey yet for that period.
