# Creating a Survey

{% hint style="info" %}
To create and manage Surveys you need the School Surveys Permission. See [Edit Staff & Teacher Permissions](/features/school-admin/manage-teachers-and-staff/edit-staff-and-teacher-permissions.md)
{% endhint %}

From the side menu, select "Manage" under "School Surveys".

This will load a screen with all current Surveys.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You **MUST** provide a title for your survey
{% endhint %}

Click Next, on the next screen you choose the audience for your Survey and whether or not you want the survey to be anonymous. (For anonymous surveys we do not collect the learners name when they complete the survey).

Click Save and your survey will appear in the Grid.

### Publishing a Survey

To ensure no surveys are accidentally issued, when created a Survey will go into a "Draft" state.

To publish your survey and make it visible to learners, select "LIVE" from the dropdown under the status heading.

### Completing a Survey

Once you are happy with your survey responses you can mark the Survey as "COMPLETE". This will hide the Survey from any learners who have not completed the Survey.
