Whenever I look at our internal dashboard of TIM Tools use across all of our clients, I can see that hundreds of surveys are being created by schools and districts using the Survey Tool. But none of these are being shared with other schools or districts. Understandably, many forms and surveys created are specific to the particular client, but I often wander how many would be utilized by other clients if they were shared. Therefore, I’m asking:
1. If you’ve created a form or survey within the Survey Tool that you think may benefit others and you’re willing to share, please contact us at TIM@fcit.us. We’d love to receive your permission to add it to the central library of surveys that can be cloned and adapted by other TIM Tools users.
2. If you simply have an idea for a survey that you’d like for us to develop and add to the central library of available surveys, let us know. We can’t promise that we’ll be able to meet every request, but we’ll do our best. Send your ideas to TIM@fcit.us.
Remember, the Survey Tool can create both internal and public surveys. The internal surveys can target any combination of roles or locations within your TIM Tools instance. Public surveys can be open to anyone or just to those to whom entry codes have been distributed. This allows you to create surveys that are open to anyone in your community or limited, for example, to parents who have been given an entry code based on school or grade level of their children. The Survey Tool can also be used to create forms that automatically send email notifications to a designated address each time a form is submitted.
To avoid duplication, here’s a list of the surveys that are currently available within TIM Tools.
