Note

In the API reference and developer documentation, surveys are referred to as polls.

You can manage surveys using the Poll REST API. The API provides access to the following resources:

  • Polls: A poll is a template of a survey form that a survey creator sends out to recipients to collect the desired information for specific Fact Sheets. Each poll has a unique ID.
  • Poll runs: A poll run is an operation of sending a specific version of a survey to recipients. Each poll run has a unique ID.
  • Poll results: A poll result stores the answers of survey recipients for a specific Fact Sheet. Each Fact Sheet included in a poll run generates a poll result with a unique ID.
  • Poll templates: A poll template is a survey form with predefined questions that admin users can download to a workspace from the LeanIX Store.
See how surveys appear in the UI.

To navigate to surveys, in the administration area, select Surveys. Each survey has a unique ID.
