Opening a survey

Click any row on the Surveys list to open its workspace. Everything about the survey — authoring, checking, compiling, publishing and reading results — happens here. The breadcrumb reads Surveys › (survey name).

The header

The title row shows the survey name, plus:
  • A live job badge while a background job runs for this survey — Queued…, Compiling… or Publishing….
  • 🔒 Imported on a survey that came in through an import.
  • On the right, the version chip and the Setup | Results switch.

The version chip

The chip shows the version you’re looking at, such as v3, with a status pill: Open the chip to switch versions. The Versions menu lists the five most recent, then See n more / See less, and a Version history link. See Versions and drafts.

Setup and Results

The switch on the right flips the workspace between two modes, each with its own tabs:

The toolbar

Validate and Publish are disabled while any job for the survey is running.

When can you edit?

The workspace is editable only when all three of these are true:
  1. You have the surveys.edit permission.
  2. The version you’re looking at is a draft.
  3. The survey was authored in Voxworks or is a Voxworks copy — not an import.
Anything else opens read-only: fields show their stored values rather than inputs, and read-only questions say “This version is read-only. Create a Voxworks copy to edit it.” To change a published version, open Version history and use Create draft on it. That copies the version into a new draft (v + 1) you can edit. A survey has at most one working version at a time. See Versions and drafts.
