Getting
Information from Users
Organizations can
gather information from employees by creating surveys in Word,
printing them, and then putting them in everyone's mailbox with
the hope that people will fill them out in turn them backend.
Or, and e-mail containing the questions can be sent to all
users, in the users can e-mail the response back to the sender.
There are a few
problems associated with these “manual" processes. Using the
printed copy method, there's always the possibility that someone
will lose the document. For both methods, the results of the
survey would need to be manually calculated.
With SharePoint,
however, the survey can easily be created, complete with
multiple-choice responses, numeric or text responses, and
date/time responses. The results were tabulated automatically
and can be viewed graphically. Imported surveys can be placed
right on the organization's homepage in a prominent position.
Surveys can be
used to obtain information such as where to hold the winter
holiday party, what time of day to have the party, in which they
should be used for the party. The possible answers can be
displayed for the users using a drop-down list, radio buttons,
or check boxes.
