Survey Galaxy's Template Library

Survey Galaxy's template library brings speed and ease to creating surveys. The library is split into System, Personal and Account libraries.

To create a library document from an existing survey, first copy the source survey.

Specify when copying that the Survey Type is to be Library, either Personal or if applicable Account.

[The System library is maintained by Survey Galaxy although users may request using the online help facility for additions to be considered for inclusion in the system library].

Edit the survey so that it contains only the items that you want to use in other surveys and then save the modified survey.

A powerful feature of the library is that a template does not need to be used in its entirety so you can include optional items within a template. (i.e. you could have a number of different age groups to suit a number of different surveys).

Once the survey has been created in one of the Libraries you will then be able to import any number of the library items into any survey that you are creating or modifying by using the 'Import from template library' option.

Once imported the items can be tailored in the same way as any other item.
