Adding User Accounts

Having more than one user account allows different people in your team to work on surveys and campaigns at the same time.

You can create a new account for a user directly.

This is performed by accessing "User Management" from the Account drop-down.

To see this option and perform any of these tasks, you will need to be the master user on a Business Team, Enterprise Team, or Enterprise Plus Account.

To create a new account directly:

  1. Click Add User.
  2. Under Login Details, create the new account's login details by entering the new user’s email address and a password. You can choose a custom avatar of you wish.
  3. Under User Details, fill in the new user’s name and contact number (optional).
  4. Under Response Limits, set the maximum number of survey responses you want the new user to be able to receive per month.
  5. Click Save Changes.

  3. In the large box, enter your recipients in a comma-separated list as follows:

  7. If you chose for unique links, the next page will show you those links. Copy these and send to the recpients however you wish, making sure not to edit them.

Check Invitation Status

If you have any pending invitations, that is invitations that have been sent but not taken up, you wil see a Vew Pending Invitations option above the user list on the User Management page.

Clicking this will allow you to see a list of the invitations, with the options to re-send the invite (or re-access their link) or delete the invitation.

User Invitation Expiry

New user invites sent this way will expire after two weeks.

Note - If invitations are sent individually or in more than one batch, it is possible to have more invitations pending than there are unused users on the account. In this scenario, the account users will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis as the recipients respond to their invitations, so any recipient clicking the activation link after the user limit is reached will not be able to create an account.
