A survey is represented in Fathom as a collection. Each attribute in the collection corresponds to one question, and each case corresponds to one respondent. The collection’s name is the survey’s title.
| 1. | Open a new Fathom document. |
| 2. | Drag a collection from the shelf and drop it in the Fathom document. |
| 3. | Double-click the name Collection 1 and type Phone and TV into the dialog box. |
| 4. | With the collection selected, choose Create Survey from the Collection menu. |
If you don’t see Create Survey in the Collection menu, the Fathom Surveys software extension is probably not installed on your computer.

An inspector appears for the collection, open to the Survey panel.
We want to collect three pieces of information from each respondent: gender, time on the phone, and time watching TV. Responses will be stored as values for attributes.
|
|
| 5. | Define three new attributes as shown. |
To see the full attribute names, drag the column border to the right.
| 6. | Type questions for the phone and TV attributes. (If you don’t type a question, the attribute name will appear in the survey.) |
To get a larger space to type in, drag the border below the attribute names.
