How it works
Everything a committee needs to settle the reunion date, and nothing that needs a statistician.
Building
Add up to 20 questions: single choice, multiple choice, short text, long text or a 1 to 5 rating. Mark any of them required. Open the survey when you are ready and give it a closing date, or close it by hand.

Answering
Signed-in members see open surveys in their menu and on their home page. Each member can answer once; AlumDeck checks, and the database refuses a second answer even if someone tries twice at the same moment.

Results
Each survey has a results page in the admin and a CSV export. Tick the survey's "anonymous" option and the member and class-year columns disappear from both. Members never see the results unless you share them at the AGM or in a news post.

Forms, for anyone
The staff who hold the Surveys and polls area look after forms too.
Forms
Switch on Forms in Settings, which starts off, and build a form for nominations, sign-ups, requests or applications. A public form has an address of its own that anyone can fill in; a members' form sits in the member area. There are ten kinds of question, from a short answer to a date, plus file uploads. Any question can be required, or asked only when an earlier question has a given answer. Write a consent statement and its box has to be ticked before the form is sent.

Answers
Each answer alerts the staff who hold the Surveys and polls area, by email and on the admin bell, and can also go to up to ten other addresses for people without an admin account. A member can be emailed a copy of their own answers. Answers are listed on the form with a CSV download, and are deleted after the number of days you set for the form or for the whole site. Leave both empty and they stay until you delete them.

FAQ
Not fully. With the "anonymous" option ticked, the committee's results and export show no member or class year. AlumDeck still stores which member answered, because that is how it stops anyone answering twice. So tell members their names are not shown with their answers; do not promise that nobody could ever find out.
No. Each member answers once, and a submitted response cannot be edited or resumed. Put the long, thoughtful questions last and the required ones first.
Not a survey. Surveys are inside the member area, for signed-in members only. For questions anyone can answer, switch on Forms in Settings (it starts off) and build a public form, with file uploads and questions that depend on an earlier answer if you need them.
It appears in the member menu and on the member home while it is open. To tell everyone, send an email campaign with the link, aimed at the classes you want to hear from.
For feedback on an event, link the survey to that event. Its link then goes into the thank-you email AlumDeck sends the morning after, for as long as the survey is open.
To a results page in the admin, one per survey, and a CSV export for your spreadsheet. Members never see the results unless you share them.
No. Surveys start switched off; turn them on in Settings, under Modules. Switch them off again and the menu link, the admin screens and the survey pages all go: a survey's address returns Not Found. Nothing is deleted.
