Complete a Submission

You can access surveys from your group's homescreen or from the Browse tab in the Side Menu, follow a link if one was sent to you, or select a survey from the SurveyStack homepage.

The browse screen allows you to search for surveys in your group or select a pinned survey. You can also use the other tabs (MY SURVEYS, MY GROUPS, or ALL GROUPS) to search for surveys outside of your group.

• Select Start Survey to begin your submission. If you are an admin filling out the survey for one of your group members select the option to 'Start survey as member'. This is especially helpful if you are pushing data to farmOS and need access to field and planting names for a producer in the submission.
  

• Follow the prompts to navigate through the survey and answer questions.

• Some questions are Private, they will have a blue eye icon (This answer is private). The answers to these questions are only visible to the person submitting the survey or the group administrator.
• Some questions are Required, they will have a red asterisk (Answer required). You will not be able to select the NEXT button and advance through the survey until answer the question.

• To answer dropdown questions, either select the down arrow in the answer box to open and scroll through the answer list OR start typing in the answer box and the app will auto-suggest responses.

• You can pick the location by selecting your location OR by moving the map so that the red pin in the center of the map is over the correct location.
  • If the red pin and your location do not match, you can select the target icon in the upper right corner of the map.
• Once you have the red pin over the correct location, select the PICK button below the map.

• To answer matrix questions
  • Select Add row and enter/select values for each column.
  • You can also delete and duplicate rows using the icons on the right side of the row.

Review a survey

• After you have completed the survey, the survey outline screen will give you the opportunity to review your answers before submitting the survey.
  • green checkmarks mean you answered the question
  • an empty circle means that you did not answer the question
  • an orange circle with an exclamation point means that you did not answer a required question.
• You can also access the survey outline from any question screen by selecting the outline icon in the upper right corner of the question screen.

Submit a survey

Once you are satisfied that the survey was completed correctly, you can select SUBMIT to submit the survey to the database. Please make sure you are logged into your account before submitting. This will make it easier to track down submissions in the future.
