Creating pulse surveys is quick and easy.

Simply log in to your tootmood and click the create event button in the top left corner of the screen. Then go through the ‘event creation wizard’ screens which will help you create your survey:

1. Choose your question type – what format would you like your responses? Emojis; a 1-10 sliding scale; a simple Yes/No; or customisable text options.

2. Set your question – Either tap in the main box to type your own question. Alternatively you can choose from one of the given examples, OR get some inspiration from our tootmood Question Bank here. When you’ve set your question click Next in the top right corner.

3. Setup the rest of your Event – Work your way down the options on the right side of the screen to finish off your survey:

a. Ask a follow-up question? – Set a prompt for follow-up information following each response (e.g. Why do you feel that way?)

b. Choose your audience – Who are you gathering responses from? Students; parents; staff; visitors; a particular year group?

c. Tag your question – You can create folders to group together particular Event types: mood checks; staff surveys; parents feedback etc. Click the create new tag link in the pop window to customise your folder. Your event results will be archived in this folder when the event is ended.

d. Would you like to give this event a name? You can name the event to differentiate it from previous events with the same question. For example if you ask “how happy are you?” just before the Summer holidays, you may consider naming it Summer Mood Check 2023.

e. Click the green Done button.

You should see the event you just created at the top of your tootmood home screen. You are now ready to launch your event and gather valuable feedback!
