Frequently Asked Questions
What’s in the Hub, and how can it help me use SurveyCTO?
The Hub is a centralized repository of SurveyCTO template workflows for high-quality data collection. You simply install workflows from the Discover tab in your server console, which then live as forms and datasets in your Design tab.
Workflows are ready to use as soon as you install them. This includes multi-form workflows that rely on server dataset publishing, as forms and datasets are already attached, form publishing into any needed datasets is pre-configured, and any needed pre-existing data is already included.
Are Hub workflows editable?
Yes! Not only that, they enable editing! You can customize any form or dataset in any workflow you install in the Hub to fit the needs of your use case.
Where is the Hub located?
The Hub is located in the Discover tab in your SurveyCTO server console.
I don’t see the Discover tab in my server console. How can I access the Hub?
SurveyCTO trial and community users are able to see the Discover tab and can enjoy access to the Hub immediately.
If you don’t see the Discover tab in your server console, please contact your server administrator to update your permissions to enable the Hub. Admins can decide on and set the access level for users through the User Roles and Permissions section of their server console’s Configure tab.
Want to know more about contacting your account administrator? Learn more here in the product documentation on managing internal support queries.
Do I need to be experienced with SurveyCTO to use templates in the Hub?
Not at all. The Hub is here for all users. The template workflows are designed so that SurveyCTO beginners can learn to design their own unique workflows, and get up and running with advanced features faster.
Who do I contact with questions about the Hub?
If you do have questions about how to optimize your use of these templates, each template has its own how-to guide.
