Custom questions and service areas give you flexibility to tailor your survey to your club’s unique needs on top of the predefined template provided. You can:

  • Add custom questions within existing service areas

  • Create new custom service areas with questions specific to your club

Why Use Custom Questions or Service Areas?

Use this feature to:

  • Ask targeted follow-ups or service-specific questions

  • Capture feedback on experiences unique to your club

  • Personalize your survey without losing access to benchmarking from locked questions

How to Add a Custom Service Area

You can add a custom service area to the bottom of your existing questionnaire.

Steps:

  1. Go to Edit Questionnaire Design

  2. Scroll to the bottom of the template

  3. Click Create Custom Service Area (bottom left corner)

  4. Give your new service area a name and start adding questions

Notes:

  • You cannot delete predefined service areas, but you can toggle off all non locked questions within them to hide them from the live survey

  • Certain service areas like Loyalty, Date of Visit, and other fixed sections cannot be hidden or edited due to their role in benchmarking and data consistency

How to Add a Custom Question

You can add custom questions to (most but not all) service areas in your template.

Steps:

  1. Open the service area where you want to add your custom question

  2. Click Add Custom Question (bottom left of the service area)

  3. Choose your question type:

    • Single choice

    • Multiple choice

    • 10-point scale

    • Open-ended text

      • Each option includes a short description. To learn more, read our guide on selecting the right question type.

  4. Follow the prompts to write your question and configure settings

  5. Click Save

  6. Your new custom question will appear at the bottom of the selected service area

Notes:

  • Some service areas do not support additional questions

  • If you want to ask a custom question in a restricted service area, we recommend:

    • Creating a custom service area

    • Giving it a similar title (e.g., “Food & Beverage – Cont'd”)

    • Adding your question(s) there

Best Practices

  • You can create multiple custom service areas if needed

  • All custom items are labeled in the editor so you can keep track

Summary

Custom questions and service areas help you strike the right balance between structured benchmarking and personalized feedback. Use them to fine-tune your survey to your club’s unique context while keeping key metrics intact.
