Adding a survey template to a SurveyPak

There are two SurveyPaks supplied with Snap XMP Desktop. These are

• Reference SurveyPak that provides a selection of pre-defined questions, questionnaires and survey templates that can be used in your own surveys. This SurveyPak cannot be edited.
• User SurveyPak that provides standard topics where you can add your questions, surveys and survey templates. This SurveyPak can be edited.

When a survey template is added to the User SurveyPak or another user-defined SurveyPak it becomes available in the list of User Templates. These can be selected from the New Survey template dialog when creating a new survey.

All survey templates are added to a user-defined SurveyPak from the Offline Surveys section of the Survey Overview window.  If you need to add an online survey template to the available list of user templates, you need to clone it as an offline survey in the Survey Overview window first. 

Create a SurveyPak

1. Click Reference  on the Snap XMP Desktop toolbar. This opens the Reference window.
