Elements

A survey in VeySur is made up of a set of elements arranged in a defined structure. Understanding this structure makes it straightforward to build and maintain surveys of any size.

Survey structure

At the top level, a survey has:

• An optional title displayed to participants at the start
• An optional welcome message shown before the first question
• One or more question groups, each containing one or more questions
• An optional thank you message shown after the survey is completed

Groups act as sections or pages. Questions always belong to a group; they cannot exist outside one.

The structure panel

The left side of the editor contains the structure panel, which shows the full survey hierarchy as a tree. Each group is listed with its questions nested beneath it. Groups can be expanded or collapsed to keep the panel tidy when working on large surveys.

Clicking any item in the structure panel focuses it and scrolls the main editor area to that element.

Adding elements

To add a group, click the + button that appears between existing groups in the structure panel or the editor area, then select Add Group.

To add a question, click the + button at the bottom of an existing group. This shows the option to add a group or a question; click Add Question. A type selector opens - choose a category (Simple, Choice, Date and Time, Matrix, or Multi-Part), then pick a specific question type. The question is added at the bottom of the group.

Editing elements

Click any element in the editor to focus it. Focused elements can be edited inline by clicking directly on the title or description text, or via the attributes panel on the right, which shows the attributes for the focused element such as question type, required flag, and type-specific options.

Group attributes

A focused group exposes the following in the attributes panel:

Attribute	Description
Name	An internal label used in the structure panel and in exports.
Description	Optional text displayed to participants above the group’s questions.
Condition	An optional visibility rule. See Conditional Questions.

Question attributes

A focused question exposes the following:

Attribute	Description
Question text	The prompt shown to participants (supports rich text).
Question type	The format of the response input. Click to open the type selector and change it.
Required	When enabled, participants cannot proceed without answering.
Code	A short identifier used in exports and conditional logic. The codes OTHER, OTHER_TEXT, and ORDER are reserved for internal use and cannot be assigned to any element.
Condition	An optional visibility rule. See Conditional Questions.

Some question types expose additional options such as minimum/maximum values, answer options, matrix rows, or Multi-Part parts.

Sub-elements

Some question types contain sub-elements. For example, Checkbox and Dropdown questions from the Choice category have answer options, where each option is a sub-element. Sub-elements appear nested beneath their parent question in the editor area. Focusing a sub-element displays its own attributes in the right panel.

Thank you message

The thank you message is shown to participants after they submit the survey. Click the message text to edit it inline (supports rich text). A focused thank you message also exposes the following in the attributes panel:

Attribute	Description
End URL	An optional link participants can follow after completing the survey. When the Redirect End presentation setting is enabled, the survey navigates to this URL automatically instead of showing the completion screen.
Link text	The label for the End URL link. Falls back to displaying the URL itself when left blank.

Set End URL or Link text to blank to remove it for the language currently being edited. Because a language without its own End URL falls back to another language’s value, blanking a single language does not always hide the link. Use the Clear All Languages action next to the End URL field to remove the End URL and Link text for every language at once, or turn off the End URL Link presentation setting to hide the link regardless of language.

See Settings → Presentation for the Redirect End and End URL Link toggles.

Reordering elements

Elements can be reordered by dragging them in the structure panel. Groups can be moved up or down relative to one another. Questions can be moved within their group or dragged into a different group.

Groups, questions, and sub-elements can also be moved up or down using the arrow buttons that appear to the right of the element when it is focused or hovered.

Deleting elements

To delete a group or question, click the delete button that appears to the right of the item when it is focused. Deleting a group removes all of the questions inside it.
