Key terms for setting up surveys
As a catalog administrator, you can configure surveys in BMC Digital Workplace Catalog by using the following key concepts:
- Survey types
The application settings provide the following types of surveys to gather targeted feedback:- Post-request survey—Set a default survey that is triggered and sent to end users when a service request is marked as completed to assess their satisfaction with the service.
- Custom survey—Design and map custom surveys tailored to specific services. This survey can be set as the default post-request survey, featuring customized questions that better align with the context of the service.
- Survey scales
Select the rating scale that best captures user sentiment and satisfaction:- CSAT rating—The Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) rating commonly uses smiley faces or stars to indicate satisfaction levels. This method provides a quick and intuitive way for users to express their experience with a service.
- NPS rating—The Net Promoter Score (NPS) measures customer loyalty and satisfaction. It asks users to rate their likelihood of recommending the service on a scale from 0 to 10, helping to identify trends in sentiment.
- Survey frequency
Control how often end users receive surveys for their completed service requests by using the following options:- Percentage of requests—Determines the frequency of surveys sent, allowing for surveys to be dispatched only for a specific percentage of completed requests.
- Days since last survey—Prevents survey fatigue by limiting how often surveys are sent to the same user. It sets a minimum time interval between surveys.
- Survey reports
Access and analyze survey data to monitor service performance and customer satisfaction:- Satisfaction Survey report—Accessible via the Catalog console and shows data from feedback gathered from surveys linked to catalog services.
- DWP Customer Satisfaction Report—Accessible via Helix Dashboards for monitoring survey data and analyzing trends in service performance and customer satisfaction.
