MicroStrategy ONE

Starting in MicroStrategy 2021 Update 7 (October 2022), embedded surveys are no longer supported.

Add a Survey by URL

Using a survey URL allows you to quickly embed a survey in your dashboard. Once you add a survey URL to your dashboard, you can customize the URL by adding variables.

  • SurveyMonkey
  • Alchemer

Add a Survey from a SurveyMonkey URL

  1. On the Survey Editor, click By URL.

  2. In the Insert URL textbox, enter a survey link.

    The survey URL must have a Custom URL Ending to add Custom Variables. For more information, see Customizing Survey Links.

  3. Click Validate.

Your survey appears in your dashboard. You may notice that the Custom Variables section of the Survey Editor is pre-populated with existing variables. Custom Variables allow you to tailor the fields in your survey to specific objects.

Customize Variables on Your Dashboard

Adding and personalizing Custom Variables on the Survey Editor will automatically change the SurveyMonkey URL.

To add Custom Variables to your dashboard, your survey must already have them.

  1. Under each variable, use the drop-down to select the type of variable. The three options are:

    • Attribute/Metric: Drag and drop an object from your dataset panel to the empty field.
    • System Property: Use the drop-down to select Full Name, Dashboard Name, or Project Name as your variable name.
    • Custom: Enter a variable name in the textbox.

  2. Click Done. Your Custom Variables appear in your survey.

Add a Survey from an Alchemer URL

SurveyGizmo has been renamed to Alchemer.

  1. On the Survey Editor, click By URL.
  2. In the Insert URL textbox, enter a survey link.
  3. Click Validate.

Your URL Variables appear in your survey. If you have URL Variables in your survey, you need to add them in your dashboard using the URL Variables section of the Survey Editor.

Customize URL Variables on Your Dashboard

Adding and customizing URL Variables on the Survey Editor automatically changes the Alchemer URL.

To add URL Variables to your dashboard, your survey must already have them. For more information on adding URL Variables to your survey, see the Alchemer help.

  1. On the Survey Editor, click Add URL Variables.
  2. Double click on the default variable name to rename it. Your variable name in the dashboard must match the variable name in your survey.

  3. Under each variable, use the drop-down to select the type of variable. The three options are:

    • Attribute/Metric: Drag and drop an object from your dataset panel to the empty field.
    • System Property: Use the drop-down to select Full Name, Dashboard Name, or Project Name as your variable name.
    • Custom: Enter a variable name in the textbox.

  4. Click Done. Your URL Variables appear in your survey.
