Questionnaire Overview

The Questionnaire section is where you design the content used to collect feedback in your 360-degree feedback project.

This includes defining the questions, rating scales, and comment sections that responders will complete.

What is a Questionnaire?

A questionnaire is the set of questions used to gather feedback from participants.

It determines:

• What areas are being evaluated
• How responses are measured
• What type of feedback is collected

A well-designed questionnaire is essential for producing meaningful and actionable results.

What You Can Do in the Questionnaire Section

Within this section, you can:

• Create and edit questions
• Organize questions into sections or headings
• Define rating scales
• Add comment questions
• Customize the text shown to participants
• Import or export questionnaire content
• Preview the questionnaire before launching

Each of these actions contributes to building a complete and effective feedback tool.

How the Questionnaire Fits Into Your Workflow

The questionnaire is typically created early in the project setup process.

A common sequence is:

1. Create your project
2. Build or import your questionnaire
3. Add participants
4. Launch your project

Changes can be made to the questionnaire during setup, but it is recommended to finalize it before launching.

Key Components of a Questionnaire

A questionnaire is made up of several elements:

• Questions – The items responders will rate or comment on
• Rating Scales – How responses are measured (e.g., 1–5, agreement scales)
• Sections or Headings – Groups of related questions
• Comment Questions – Open-ended responses for additional insight

Understanding these components will help you design a structured and effective questionnaire.
