Introduction
Polls and surveys are an effective way of obtaining data from your contacts. These polls or surveys could be about what events your contacts would like to attend, what products they would be more willing to buy, or how they feel about a particular topic. These answers will provide important data that could help your organization make key decisions.
Prerequisites

FAQs & Further Reading
Q. My web form is not allowing me to map my new survey questions. How can I resolve this?
A. You will not be able to map web form fields to multiple surveys as it will create reporting issues. You should create a new survey as
Field 1 - Q1 of Survey 1
Field 2 - Q2 of Survey 1
Field 3 - Q3 of Survey 1
To resolve, unmap the fields, clearing all mapping to Survey 1. Then begin to remap to the questions in the new survey.
