# How the survey list works

_Skileo Human Resources › Surveys · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

Surveys lists the questionnaires you write for your employees, with who they go to and when they were sent. Filter, search and export it, and send, copy or delete a survey from its line.

## What a survey is

A survey is a list of questions you send to your employees: to all of them, or to one team. They answer in Skileo, and you read the results as charts.

Open “Surveys” in the menu of “Human Resources”, then “Surveys” again. The same menu holds “Survey templates” and “Question templates”. See [Use survey templates](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/use-survey-templates) and [Manage question templates](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/manage-question-templates).

## What you see in the list

Each line shows:

- “Title”: click it to open the survey's preview.
- “Type”: the kind of survey.
- “Audience”: “All employees”, or the team that receives it.
- “Created On”.
- “Sent On”: the date it was sent, or “Not sent yet”.

The newest surveys come first. Click a column title to sort the list by it. Use the column button to show or hide columns.

## Find a survey

- Click “Search” and type part of the title.
- Click “Show filters” to show only one “Type”, or only the surveys with the “Sent” or “Not Sent” “Status”.

## Export the list

1. Filter the list if you need to.
2. Click “Export”. The window “Export table” opens.
3. Tick the columns you want in the file.
4. Click “Confirm”.

Skileo downloads a CSV file with the surveys of the list as it is filtered.

## What you can do from a line

Click the actions button (**⋮**) at the end of a line:

- “Edit”: change a survey that has not been sent yet.
- “View”: open its preview, as your employees will see it.
- “Copy”: make a new survey with the same questions, to send it again or change it.
- “View results”: once the survey is sent. See [Read the results of a survey](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/read-survey-results).
- “Send”: send it to its audience. See [Send a survey](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/send-a-survey).
- “Delete”: the survey goes to the “Trash”.

The “Business owner” can also tick several lines, then copy or delete them together from the bar that appears above the list.


## Common questions

### How do I create a survey?

Click “Add new”. See [Create a survey](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/create-a-survey).

### Why can't I edit a survey?

It has been sent. A sent survey can't change, so that every answer fits the same questions. Copy it and change the copy.

### Why don't I see the Export and Add new buttons?

You need permission to change surveys. See [Who can see and change surveys](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/who-can-see-surveys).
