# Answer a survey

_Skileo Human Resources › Surveys · Who can do this: Employee_

Open the survey from its e-mail or from Surveys in your menu, answer every question and click Submit answers. You can then see the results of everyone who answered.

## Find the survey

When your company sends you a survey, you get an e-mail with a link to it. Click the link and sign in.

You can also open “Surveys” in your menu. The list shows the surveys sent to you:

- “Title”: click it to answer.
- “Type”: the kind of survey.
- “Status”: “OPEN” until you answer, then “DONE”.
- “Sent On”.

Click “Show filters” to show only one “Type”.

## Answer it

1. Click the survey's title.
2. Answer each question:
   - a text question: write your answer in “Free text answer”;
   - a question with answers to choose from: tick one answer, or several when the question allows it. If none fits, write your own in “Other (add your own answer below)” when it is offered;
   - a scale: click the step that fits, a number, a word or a face.
3. Click “Submit answers”.

Every question needs an answer. If one is missing, a message shows under it and nothing is sent: answer it and click “Submit answers” again. Your other answers stay.

## After you answer

The survey's results open. You see how many people received the survey, opened it and answered, and the answers to each question as charts. Switch on “Show only my answers” to see only yours.

You answer a survey once. Your answers can't be changed afterwards.

## Who sees your answers

- The people who manage surveys in your company see who answered what.
- Your colleagues see the results of everyone together, without names. The written answers are listed one by one, also without names.


## Common questions

### Why is there no survey in my list?

Your company has not sent you one yet. A survey sent to a team shows only for its members.

### I clicked the link and see “Invalid survey”. Why?

The survey was not sent to you, or it was deleted. Ask the person who sent it.

### Can I answer on behalf of a colleague?

No. Each person answers with their own account.
