How Do Pre-Capture Screens Work?

The Pre-Capture Screen acts as the first step in your survey, where you can ask respondents to provide preliminary information. It’s a flexible way to collect details like contact info, transaction IDs, or any other relevant data before the main survey begins. For example:

  • In retail: Before a customer completes a feedback survey after a purchase, you can capture their purchase ID or email, allowing for a more personalized response.

  • In customer service: The Pre-Capture Screen can ask for a case number, ensuring feedback is tied directly to a specific support interaction.

  • For hybrid environments: Whether you’re conducting surveys online or via kiosks, the Pre-Capture Screen offers a consistent way to collect essential data upfront.

  1. Go to the survey you want to customize and navigate to the Survey Builder.

  2. Click on the “+” sign to add a new question.

  3. In the list of options, select the Pre-Capture Screen, which is located under the Form Elements section.

  4. Add any necessary fields or questions that you want respondents to fill out before they begin the main survey.

  5. The screen includes "Get Started" and "Back" buttons, which you can edit to suit your needs and guide respondents smoothly through the survey.

  6. Once everything is set up, save your changes and preview the survey to ensure it works as intended.

The single-screen view makes it easy for respondents to fill in all necessary details at once, ensuring clarity and simplicity.
