In this tutorial we demonstrate how to setup and use the DotNetNuke core Survey module.
The Survey module allows you to conduct surveys with the visitors of your website. This can be really useful for market research, event planning, customer feedback, product planning, as well as education and training.
Surveys can be setup so that they have closing dates and the results of the survey can be exported as a csv file which allows you to import the data into a programme such as Microsoft Excel.
It is also possible to configure the module to test the user. When the user clicks on submit, the Survey Module will show the users' answers and highlight the correct answers.
The survey results display using templates, this allows you to configure the display of the survey results to suit the design of your skin.
