Creating a workgroup in SurveyMonkey is a straightforward process designed to enhance team collaboration and streamline survey management. Workgroups allow you to centralize surveys, share them effortlessly with specific team members, and manage permissions, making it easier for your team to work together on projects.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Workgroup
Follow these simple steps to set up a new workgroup within your SurveyMonkey account:
-
Navigate to My Team: From the main navigation menu in your SurveyMonkey dashboard, select My Team. This section is your central hub for managing users, groups, and permissions within your organization's account.
-
Access Workgroups: Within the "My Team" area, locate and select Workgroups. This will display any existing workgroups and provide options for creating new ones.
-
Initiate New Workgroup Creation: Click the New Workgroup button. This action will open a new interface where you can begin defining your workgroup's details.
-
Define Workgroup Details:
- Name Your Workgroup: Type a clear and descriptive name for your workgroup. This name should reflect its purpose or the team it represents (e.g., "Marketing Research Team," "Product Feedback Group").
- State the Purpose: Provide a brief Purpose for the workgroup. This helps members understand the group's objective and what types of surveys or projects will be managed within it.
-
Add Members to the Workgroup:
- Once the basic details are set, navigate to the Members tab.
- Here, you can search or click to add members to the workgroup. You can typically select from existing users in your SurveyMonkey team or invite new users if your account permissions allow. Adding members ensures that the right people have access to shared resources.
-
Share Surveys with the Workgroup:
- Proceed to the Surveys tab.
- From this tab, you can add the surveys you want to share with all members of this newly created workgroup. This is crucial for collaborative projects, ensuring everyone has immediate access to relevant survey drafts, results, or templates.
By following these steps, you will successfully create a workgroup, empowering your team to collaborate more effectively on their survey projects.
