Creating a New Survey

If you are a new user creating a survey for the first time, we recommend reading the guide How do I get started? >>

When you click 'Create survey' in the 'My surveys' interface, you can create a survey in several ways.

1. New survey

Creating a new survey in 1KA is simple. Click 'Create survey' and select the type of questionnaire you want to create:

Enter an internal survey name, which will appear in your 'My surveys' directory, and a published survey name, which will be displayed to respondents. If you have created folders in the 'My surveys' interface, you can also select the folder in which the survey will be saved.

2. 1KA templates

If you do not have enough time or are unsure how to design your questionnaire, you can use one of the predefined 1KA templates. Templates are available for website evaluations, education, contact forms, event registration and other purposes.

You can preview each template before selecting it. After choosing a template, you can change its internal and published survey names if necessary. Click 'Next' to create a copy of the template. You can then edit, move or delete questions in the questionnaire editor.

3. My 1KA surveys

Use the 'My 1KA surveys' option to create a copy of one of your existing surveys. This is useful when repeating the same survey, for example once every year.

Select a survey from the drop-down list and click 'Next'. The system will create a copy of the selected survey.

4. .1ka file import

The '.1ka file import' option allows you to import a survey or archive file that was previously exported from 1KA and saved on your computer.

Select a file with the .1ka extension. You can import only the questionnaire or import the questionnaire together with its data. This feature is most commonly used to transfer surveys between different 1KA domains. More >>

5. Import text

The 'Import text' option allows you to create a questionnaire by copying prepared text into 1KA. At the top of the interface, you can enter the survey name and select the folder in which it will be saved, provided that folders are enabled.

6. Create with AI

The 'Create with AI' feature allows you to quickly generate a survey draft with the help of artificial intelligence. Based on a description of your research, the system automatically creates a questionnaire that you can edit and customize.

Creating a survey

Click 'Create survey', then select 'Create with AI' from the left-hand menu.

To help you get started, you can select one of the predefined examples:

  • Customer satisfaction;
  • New product testing;
  • Employee satisfaction;
  • Event evaluation;
  • Event registration;
  • Purchase evaluation;
  • User experience (UX);
  • Organizational climate;
  • Marketing research;
  • Course evaluation.

The selected example serves as a starting point that you can supplement or completely modify.

Survey settings

Before generating the survey, you can select:

  • the number of questions included in the questionnaire, up to a maximum of 20;
  • the language in which the questionnaire will be generated.

Generating the survey

After configuring the settings, click 'Next'. The system will generate a survey draft based on your description. You can then review and modify it in the questionnaire editor.

To exit without creating a survey, click 'Cancel'.

7. Oneclick creation

Logged-in users can enable 'ONECLICK Creation' under 'My profile' > 'User settings'.

Once the option is enabled, the 'Oneclick create' button will appear in the 'My surveys' interface. Click it to immediately create a new survey and open it in the questionnaire editor.

You can change the survey name under 'EDIT' > 'Settings' > 'Basic info' > 'Language settings'.
