Create a Feedback Tool

Learn how to create a Feedback Tool below.

Read Before You Begin

Read the following sections in blue before you create a Feedback Tool.

Create a Feedback Tool

1. Click Tools/Feedback Tools.

2. Click Create Feedback Tool.

3. Enter a name of your choosing in the Name field. Note: This field has a 80 character limit.

4. The Feedback Tool offers two ways to restrict how users fill out the form:

• Interviewer (Manager, Member, Owner of the application) leads the interview
• Interviewee (the person being interviewed) answers questions

Select the interviewer types from the Visibility for Interviewers drop-down menu. Note: You can click more than one box next to the type of interviewer.

5. The Touchpoint and Journey settings are optional and require more advanced understanding of the Yawave product. If you are already familiar with these settings and how they work, complete the following, otherwise continue to Step 6.

   • Select Add Touchpoint from the drop-down menu.
   • Select a Journey from the drop-down menu or select Add Journey to create a new one.

Configure for iPad or kiosk (Full Screen Mode)

The next three settings (6, 7, 8) need to be configured if you plan to use the Feedback Tool on Full Screen Mode. You can leave these default and configure at a later time if needed. Skip to Step 9 if you do not plan to use the Feedback Tool on Full Screen Mode, iPad or kiosk. Note: You are not limited to using an iPad. You can use any brand of tablet or any size monitor.

6. Configure this setting if using fullscreen mode (on an iPad or kiosk). The Custom URL is the URL you'll use when your Feedback Tool is collecting information from users. This setting is part of a custom link used to show the Feedback Tool to users, both interviewers and interviewees). The name you enter will be appended to the custom link. Enter the name you want to use as part of the link in the Custom URL field. Note: Copy and save this value you enter in the Custom URL field to be used later.

7. Configure the <<No user interaction>> reset time setting if using fullscreen mode (on an iPad or kiosk). This setting is the time in seconds you want the Feedback Tool to reset after no activity. For example, if the Feedback Tool is not in use for the amount of time you selected, it will start over from the beginning. The default setting is 45 Seconds. You can select from 15 Seconds to 120 Seconds or select None if you do not want the Feedback Tool to start over from the beginning. Select the time in seconds from the <<No user interaction>> reset time drop-down menu.

8. Configure the <<No settings interaction>> reset time setting if using fullscreen mode (on an iPad or kiosk). This setting is the time in seconds you want the Feedback Tool to reset after no activity from a manager changing the Feedback Tool's settings. For example, if a manager is not changing a previously configured Feedback Tool's settings for the amount of time you selected, it will reset any changes the manager made to the Feedback Tool. The default setting is 45 Seconds. You can select from 15 Seconds to 120 Seconds or select None if you do not want the Feedback Tool to reset the manager's changes. Select the time in seconds from the <<No settings interaction>> reset time drop-down menu.

9. The Auto. Email Response to Submitter setting requires an email template that Yawave sends to a user after they complete the questionnaire. Note: The template can be any name and have any content you want to use, but do note the template will be sent to the user after they complete the questionnaire. If you have not done so already, Create an Email Template. Once you have created your email template, start typing the name in the Auto. Email Response to Submitter field. Continue typing the name until your template appears. When your email template appears, click the email template from the drop-down menu. The Auto. Email Response to Submitter setting should show the email template selected.

Next, enter a subject you want to include with the email every time it's sent to the user.

10. The Auto. Email Notification to... setting is similar to the Auto. Email Response to Submitter setting in Step 9 above. The difference is the Auto. Email Notification to... email is sent to the person responsible for managing completed questionnaires. For example, the email will be sent to your Yawave administrator or anyone on your team who needs to have a record of who completed the questionnaire. The Auto. Email Notification to... setting requires an email template that Yawave sends to an administrator or someone keeping records after the user completes the questionnaire. Note: The template can be any name and have any content you want to use, but do note the template will be sent after the user completes the questionnaire. If you have not done so already, Create an Email Template. Once you have created your email template, start typing the name in the Auto. Email Notification to... field. Continue typing the name until your template appears. When your email template appears, click the email template from the drop-down menu. The Auto. Email Notification to... setting should show the email template you selected.

Next, enter a subject you want to include with the email every time it's sent to the person or people managing the completed questionnaires.

Enter the email address(es) of the recipient(s) you want to send the email to when a questionnaire is completed.

11. Assign Contact To is an advanced setting. Documentation coming soon.

12. For the Completion Behaviour setting you have two options: restart the Feedback Tool from the beginning or redirect the user to a link you choose. Completion Behaviour shows Restart Feedback Tool as default. This means the Feedback Tool will start over once the user has completed the questionnaire.

If you want to redirect the user to another page, link or URL, select URL Redirect from the drop-down menu and wait for the page to refresh.

Once the page refreshes, add the link/URL to the page you want to redirect your user to in the text field.

13. Click Next.
