We recommend sending a test survey to a group of employees, to ensure that everything works as expected.
Before testing the survey, work with your IT department to ensure that they've followed the steps in Concept: Email Delivery and Reference: Hosts and Protocols. These steps will ensure that your email provider doesn't mark Peakon emails as spam, and that employees can fully use the Peakon site on your company network.
  1. Go to
    Administration
    Schedules
    .
  2. Click
    View
     on the survey that you need to test.
  3. Click
    Send test round
    .
  4. Select your test group by clicking
    Add employee
     or
    Add segment
    . It's possible to choose multiple segments and employees, and you can combine the 2 options as needed.
  5. Click

    .
The test group will receive the test survey immediately. The test survey experience is the same as that of the real survey, except the survey responses only apply to the test dashboard.
Once your test survey meets the visibility requirements that you've set, the test survey dashboard will display some test survey data. You can switch between the real dashboard and test dashboard at any point, even after launching a real survey.
