Adding a New Group
Click on to add a new group to your survey.

All surveys must have at least one group. Groups are used to 'group' questions together into logical groupings. A group has a name and a description. When you choose "Add Group" you will be presented with a blank screen containing two fields to complete. Group Name: The title of your group. This field must be completed, and it also determines the order in which your group is displayed when the survey is being completed. The groups are ordered alphabetically be Group Name, and so you should consider naming groups in alphabetical order. eg: "Section 1:) About you." , "Section 2:) Your views.".  Group Description: This field is optional, and can be used to give a description of the group that will be displayed to survey participants as they complete the survey. If no group description is given, participants completing surveys presented in a "One at a time" format, will not be shown separate pages showing the group name and description.
