Publish a Survey (Allow Students to Take Survey)

How To... > Work with Surveys > Use Fathom Surveys > Upload a Survey to the Website > Publish a Survey (Allow Students to Take Survey)

A newly created survey cannot be seen or taken by students until it is published by the instructor. This gives the instructor necessary control over access to a survey. For example, a teacher might not want students in a class to see a survey until class begins. Or, a student who can upload won’t be able to have respondents begin taking a survey until the teacher, as instructor, has approved and published it. Instructors can determine in their preferences whether surveys they create are immediately published by default or left unpublished (see Update User Information to learn how to change this preference). Surveys created by students always must be approved by instructors before they are published (see Approve Surveys Created by a Student for more information).

To publish a survey:

1.Go to the Fathom Surveys website.

2.Navigate to the list of surveys and click the Edit Properties icon for the survey you wish to publish.
