How to manage surveys

A survey is a set of questions for one asset or system type — a calorifier survey, a cistern survey, a management survey, and so on. The Surveys page lists every survey on the assessment, grouped by type.

The list

Each row shows the survey type and version, its reference, its location, a completion %, the number of recommendations, and a count of any missing recommendations (a red cell means a rating is above 0 with no recommendation written). A yellow row means a newer version of that survey is available.
