      Features and Capabilities

      Notes

      Accessibility and Organization


      Allow surveys to be accessible outside of TMS interface

      Create option for Public vs TMS-only access of survey; useful feature where the survey can poll users without requiring entry to the TMS



      Allow survey tool access to be restricted by sub-org

      Only users within a sub-org can access surveys created in that sub-org


      Create function where a survey can be exported from a sub-org and imported into another (see templating)



      Create survey categories

      Create survey categories; e.g Self-paced, Instructor-led, Virtual Instructor-led, etc.


      Would require a config page within a course on the TMS to choose which surveys for which delivery type



      Create access policies

      Survey can be access for date range, or until manually disabled; helpful feature if public access features are implemented


      Create password, keyword, or regex match for survey access; helpful feature if public access features are implemented



      Administration


      Allow surveys to be enabled, disabled, and archived


      Convert surveys to activities within courses

      Could also create 2 types of feedback: survey (end of training) and evaluation (end of section; would be an activity)

      Allow automatic emailing of survey data

      Create rule to automatically email survey data at a particular survey end date, or x number of days after survey completion



      Templating


      Allow Import/Export of Survey Templates

      Can also allow Save As function (similar to what you see in Courses)





      Survey Design


      Create branching function for survey questions/pages


      Create survey design fields

      Branding, page and section descriptions; questions; perhaps allow IDLx editor similar to instructions.
