Get feedback by using Voice of the Customer surveys 11/13/2017 4 min to read Edit Online You can create and send surveys to your customers to receive their valuable feedback about your products or services. The customers can take your surveys on a phone, tablet, or computer. With Voice of the Customer for Dynamics 365, you create and distribute surveys and store survey responses in Dynamics 365 along with other Dynamics 365 data. You can see your customer's feedback history as you work on a sales prospect (lead) or resolve a service case. When a customer completes a survey, leads can be created automatically based on the feedback. Voice of the Customer for Dynamics 365 is available with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online 2016 Update and later. Survey lifecycle A survey goes through various stages as you go from analyzing your requirements to analyzing the responses you get. Step 1: Plan the survey Analyze the requirements of the respondents Decide the types of questions you want to include in the survey Step 2: Design the survey Create a new theme, if required Upload your company logo, if required Create the survey and add questions to it Preview the survey Translate the survey as needed by the respondents Publish and test the survey Step 3: Distribute the survey Distribute the survey to anonymous or non-anonymous respondents Create a workflow to automate survey invitations, if required Step 4: Analyze survey data View survey responses Create and analyze reports Privacy notice By enabling Voice of the Customer for Dynamics 365, when you publish a survey from within Dynamics 365, the survey definition will be sent to Azure and stored in Azure Storage. When a respondent submits a survey (by opening the survey invitation link sent to him or her via email), the survey responses are stored temporarily in the Azure Service Bus and then are retrieved and stored in Dynamics 365. After the responses have been stored in
Dynamics 365, they are deleted from Azure. Note that it is possible to include Dynamics 365 data such as customer name, product name, case number, etc. in a survey (within survey elements such as questions, answers, etc.) when rendering a survey for a respondent. When a survey invitation link is generated, this Dynamics 365 data would be sent out of Dynamics 365 and stored in Azure SQL Database in exchange for an identifier that is used within the survey invitation link. This identifier is used to show the Dynamics 365 data within the survey after the survey is opened using the survey invitation link. The identifiers within the survey link that is sent over email to a respondent is stored in the respondents email system. An administrator can enable the Voice of the Customer for Dynamics 365 feature by installing it as a solution in the Dynamics 365 organization. In addition, an administrator can subsequently disable the feature by uninstalling this solution from the Dynamics 365 organization. Azure components and services that are involved with Voice of the Customer for Dynamics 365 functionality are detailed in the following sections. Note: For more information about additional Azure service offerings, see the Microsoft Azure Trust Center (https://azure.microsoft.com/support/trust-center/). Cloud Services (https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cloud-services/) Designer Service (Web Role) This provides multiple Web Services for communication between a Dynamics 365 organization and the multitenanted Voice of the Customer for Dynamics 365 Azure components. For example, surveys are published and stored to Azure Blob Storage. Survey responses are retrieved from an Azure Service Bus queue and returned to be persisted in the Dynamics 365 organization. All requests are authenticated against Azure Active Directory. Survey Runtime (Web Role) This is the web application that serves the surveys to the respondents. Submitted survey responses are stored temporarily on an Azure Service Bus queue before being processed retrieved by a Dynamics 365 asynchronous service. Response Processor (Worker Role) This worker role is responsible for processing the raw completed surveys into valid survey responses that can be created in Dynamics 365. Push Processor (Worker Role) This worker role is responsible for processing the valid survey responses and updating as Dynamics 365 entity records. Azure Key Vault (https://azure.microsoft.com/services/key-vault/) All cloud services store configuration data in Azure Key Vault. Organization, tenant data is stored in SQL Azure. Azure SQL Database (https://azure.microsoft.com/services/sql-database/) Voice of the Customer for Dynamics 365 uses SQL Azure to store: Piped data Survey metadata Organization (tenant) data Azure Blob Storage (https://azure.microsoft.com/services/storage/) Survey definitions and partially completed (saved) responses are stored to Azure Blob storage. Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) (https://azure.microsoft.com/services/cdn/)
The Voice of the Customer for Dynamics 365 solution uses Azure Content Delivery Network to serve static content to the survey runtime such as images (including uploaded images such as customer logos), JavaScript and CSS. Azure Active Directory (https://azure.microsoft.com/services/active-directory/) The Voice of the Customer for Dynamics 365 solution uses Azure Active Directory Service to authenticate web services. Azure Service Bus (https://azure.microsoft.com/services/service-bus/) Messages created when a survey is displayed / submitted are stored temporarily to an organization s (tenant s) Azure Service Bus Queue until the Azure worker role pushes the survey responses into an organization s Dynamics 365 instance and persists them as Dynamics 365 entity records.

Plan a survey 11/13/2017 5 min to read Edit Online It's important to have a plan for configuring your Voice of the Customer surveys Here are a few things to think about to help you design the right questions for your survey: What's the purpose of your survey? For example, you might want to interact with your customers, promote new products or services, or measure customer satisfaction. If your goal is to measure something, what and how do you want to measure it? How long do you want the survey to be? Keep in mind that longer surveys tend to have higher abandon rates. A good rule of thumb is to keep surveys shorter than five minutes, or no longer than 10 questions (depending on the type of question you ask). How many mandatory questions are to be included in the survey? We recommend that you ask as few mandatory questions as possible. Can you reuse all or part of an existing survey? Do you want to analyze results from multiple surveys at once? You can do this by linking questions across surveys. How do you want to distribute your survey? For example, you can create an anonymous link for a lead creation survey and broadcast it, or you can send personalized links for case closure surveys to your customers. How do you want to send invitations to your survey? For example, you might want to email them or post an invitation on your website. In addition, consider these recommendations to help you improve survey response rates: Send the survey with a named contact from your organization, preferably one who your respondents know. Add an image of this contact to the survey. Best practices to create a survey A few best practices will enable you to create a meaningful survey and gather good responses from your customers. You can then analyze those responses and act on them as best suits your organization. A few of the best practices for designing a survey are: Define an objective: Having an objective allows you to properly plan for your survey. This also allows you to identify what results you expect from your customers. You must know how you will use the responses to help you pick the right questions for your survey. Keep the survey short: If you create a survey that takes a long time to complete, you might reduce your response rate. Create a logical flow of questions: Ensure that your survey has a logical flow of questions to keep the respondents interested in the survey. Organize the survey: Group the related questions in a section and place the related sections on a single page.
Ask one question at a time: Ensure that you ask only one question at a time to keep your audience focused. Avoid asking questions that are vague or don't communicate your intent. Keep the objective of your questions clear to your respondents. Avoid asking questions that are too narrow, such as "Do you like chocolate and ice cream?" Preview and test the survey: After creating your survey, always preview it to check the overall flow of the survey and to catch any mistakes. After publishing the survey, test it to ensure that respondents can find and open it easily. Mention expectations in the survey invitation: In the survey invitation, ensure that you mention the estimated time to complete it and give a brief overview. This will help respondents submit their input within the expected timeframe. Decide the question type Deciding the question types while planning a survey helps you to create an organized survey and maintain a flow between the questions. The following table describes the Voice of the Customer for Dynamics 365 question types. QUESTION TYPE DESCRIPTION PREVIEW Short answer Question that has a one-line answer. Long answer Question that has multiple lines in the answer, for example verbatim comments. Rating Question that asks a respondent to provide ratings by using stars, emoticons, or flags. Single response Question that allows a respondent to choose only one answer. Note: You can change the response type from the Single Response Type list while creating or editing the question. Multiple response Question that allows a respondent to choose multiple answers.
QUESTION TYPE DESCRIPTION PREVIEW Date Question that asks a respondent to select a date. Descriptive text Use to describe elements on the survey page, for example labels. Numerical response Question that allows only numerical responses. Ranking Question that asks a respondent to rank answers in their order of preference. Net Promoter Score Customer Effort Score CSAT Question that captures the satisfaction of the respondent based on the likelihood of their recommending the product or services to a friend. Question that captures the satisfaction of the respondent based on the effort spent on doing business, on a fivepoint scale. Question that captures the overall satisfaction of the respondent with the product or agent, on a five-point scale. Fixed sum List of questions that ask a respondent to distribute ratings for the given criteria that add up to 100.

Supported file types:.png,.jpg,.gif,.doc,.docx,.pdf,.xls,.xlsx,.zip,.txt,.ppt,.pptx Maximum file size: 5 MB Question that asks a respondent to express their satisfaction by using emoticons ("smilies"). The following table describes the question types to use when you need to address multiple questions that use the same option set. QUESTION TYPE DESCRIPTION PREVIEW List of ratings List of questions that ask a respondent to rate multiple items by using emoticons. Single rating in columns List of questions that allow a respondent to select one answer from a column of choices.

Thank you, Marie! Your feedback will help us improve the service we deliver to you. 8. Select Save in the lower-right corner of the screen. Piped data can be used in personalizing survey invitations. More information: Personalize survey invitations Don't use piped data if you plan to distribute a survey anonymously. Piped data will not be replaced with actual Dynamics 365 data in an anonymous survey. Piped data placeholders are replaced with the values specified in appropriate fields in a survey activity or invitation, or survey email. Preview, publish, and test the survey After you have created and edited a survey, you can preview, publish, and test the survey before distributing it to the respondents. The Preview, Publish, and Test commands are available on the toolbar at the top of the screen. To preview a survey, select Preview. We recommend that you preview the survey before publishing it to catch and rectify any missing information. To publish a survey to the cloud, select Publish. After publishing a survey, you can distribute it to respondents. To step through your survey as it will look to respondents, select Test. You can't test a survey until after you publish it. For example, if you add two questions to a published survey, you preview it first to see whether the survey is working fine. After previewing the survey, you publish it to the cloud, and then you can test the survey to see how it will look to respondents. If you test the survey before you publish it, you will not see your recent changes. Survey responses are not stored in Dynamics 365 when you preview or test a survey. Clone or import an existing survey You can reuse existing questions and sections to avoid creating the same questions multiple times for different surveys. If you want to reuse only a section from another survey in your survey, you can import the section. If you want to create a survey exactly like another survey with some minor changes, you can clone a survey. If you want to move a survey from one environment to another, you can import the survey. Clone a survey Cloning a survey means creating an exact duplicate survey where only the name is different. The new survey is created with an integer appended to the survey name. The cloned survey will be in Draft status. The questions are separate from the first survey, and any changes to either survey is not reflected in the other survey.
To clone a survey, it must be in Published status. You cannot clone a survey that is in Draft status. 2. Go to Voice of the Customer > Surveys. 3. Select the name of the survey you want to clone. 4. Select Clone on the toolbar. Import a survey You can create a survey in one environment, test it, and then move it to the production environment. 2. Go to Voice of the Customer > Surveys. 3. Select the name of the survey you want to move to another environment. 4. Select the survey XML file under the Notes section and save it to the location you want. 5. Sign in to the Dynamics 365 environment to which you want to move the survey. 6. Go to Settings > Voice of the Customer Imports. 7. Select New. 8. Enter information in the General area. If you need help, point to any field to read the tooltip. 9. To overwrite the existing survey, select Yes from the Overwrite Survey field. If you select No, a copy of the survey is created. 10. In the Survey Xml To Import field, paste the survey XML. 11. Select Save in the lower-right corner of the screen. The survey is imported and available at Voice of the Customer > Surveys. Translate a survey After creating a survey, you can translate it into other languages as required by your respondents.
2. Go to Voice of the Customer > Surveys. 3. Select the name of the survey you want to translate. 4. Select the Translations.xml file in the Notes section, and then save it to the location you want. If the Translations.xml file is not available, select Export translations on the toolbar at the top of the screen to generate the file. 5. Open the file in Excel, and then go to the Translations tab. 6. Add a column to the right of the base language (for example, en for English), and specify the locale for the language in the column heading (for example, es for Spanish). You can also specify a locale in the heading (for example, en-uk for English in the United Kingdom). Add columns for each language or locale you need. You must only use the language codes supported by Dynamics 365 for the system-provided strings to be translated into, otherwise they will be displayed in the base language. You must be sure to mention specific locales where multiple dialects are supported. 7. Add translations to each language or locale column. You can retrieve translations from Bing translations. If your text strings have HTML in them, you'll need to encode them. For example, you need to encode: <b>hello!</b> as: <b>hello!</b> You can use any HTML encoder. 8. After completing your translations, save the file, go back to Dynamics 365, and then delete the Translations.xml file by selecting the delete icon next to the file.
The delete icon is visible only when you point to the file name. If you accidentally delete the Translations.xml file, select Export translations on the survey page to generate the file. For every language added in the Translations.xml file, remember to provide a translation for each string in that language while editing it in Excel. 9. Select Attach, browse to your new Translations.xml file, and then select Done. A survey can be translated into multiple languages if the translations file consists of the translations with the correct country codes in each column. If you add or change a question after adding your edited translations file, you need to add the translation for that question. To get an updated version of the translation file, select Export translations on the survey page and repeat the steps to add your new translations. We recommend that you preview the survey with the latest translation file to detect any translation errors. Dynamics 365 automatically detects the language at runtime based on the respondent's browser preferences. If no translation exists for that language, the survey will use the base language strings instead. Users can change the language of the survey by selecting the language they want from the drop-down list. Close or stop a survey You can close a survey on a designated date by specifying the Close Date while creating or editing the survey. If you want to stop the survey immediately, select Stop on the toolbar. We recommend that when you create a survey you specify a redirect URL to display to users when the survey is closed, stopped, or an error has occurred.

Distribute a survey 11/13/2017 6 min to read Edit Online After your survey is ready, you can distribute the survey and invite respondents to take part in it. You can distribute surveys in either of the following ways: Anonymous: For these surveys, Dynamics 365 doesn't know who the respondents are. You can distribute a link to the survey by using email, the social sites Twitter or Facebook, or other webpages. These types of surveys are best suited for lead creation or information-gathering where the identity of the respondent is not important. Non-anonymous: You send survey invitation links to specific contacts, accounts, or leads in Dynamics 365. You can personalize the invitation links by using the customer name, product name, agent name, and so on. Distribute a survey to anonymous respondents If you configure your survey to allow anonymous respondents, you can copy the survey URL and paste it from the survey to the medium you want to use to send it. You can send it in email, post it on social media sites like Twitter or Facebook, or publish it on your website. 2. Go to Voice of the Customer > Surveys. 3. Select the name of the survey for which you want to receive anonymous responses. 4. Under Summary, select Yes for the Anonymous Responses field. If you select No for the Anonymous Responses field and send the link to a customer, the survey will not be rendered. 5. Under Invitations and Actions, copy the link from the Anonymous Link field and send it to your respondents. 6. To embed the survey in an iframe on your website, select the Run in IFrame check box. The IFrame URL field is displayed with the HTML code. 7. Copy the HTML code from the IFrame URL field and paste it on your website. 8. Save the changes. Dynamics 365 doesn't associate responses with a customer record in Dynamics 365. If you want to create a lead from an anonymous response, set Create Lead For Anonymous Responses to Yes. More information: Create a lead from a survey response Distribute a survey to non-anonymous respondents For non-anonymous surveys, the link you send to respondents is specific and unique for each customer. Dynamics 365 generates the URLs for you to use when you create a survey invitation or embed the survey snippet in an email.
2. Go to Voice of the Customer > Surveys. 3. Select the name of the survey for which you want to receive non-anonymous responses. 4. Under Invitations and Actions, copy the value from the Email Snippet field and send it to your respondents through Dynamics 365 email. You can also select Copy Snippet on the toolbar to copy the email snippet. 5. Under Invitations and Actions, enter a value in the Invitation Link Text field. The value entered in this field is displayed as a link to the respondent when they take the survey. 6. Save the changes. Note: If the Restrict Multiple Completions field is set to Yes when you create the survey, the respondent can't take the survey again. For example: You create an email and paste the survey snippet in the email body. When you save the email, the snippet changes to the invitation link text you specified.
Send an invitation by using an email template You can create an email template with the survey snippet and use it to send emails to Dynamics 365 contacts. You can send direct email to a contact in Dynamics 365 by selecting the survey email template from the email template list. You can also select an email template when you create an email in Dynamics 365: 1. Select Insert Template from the toolbar. 2. Select the email template. 3. Select Select. The email body and subject are populated as specified in the template. Create survey invitation or survey activity You can create a survey activity or survey invitation to create personalized invitation links to be distributed by
using a non Dynamics 365 email program. These personalized invitation links have the following advantages: You can add piped data to the survey. You can provide additional information to be associated with the survey invitation. This can be achieved through setting: The Regarding field. Any out-of-the-box fields on the survey activity, such as Stage or Reminder. Any additional custom fields to the entity. The activity is not an email activity for example, it might be a telephone survey. To create a survey invitation or survey activity: 2. Go to Voice of the Customer > Surveys. 3. Select the name of the survey for which you want to create a survey invitation or survey activity. 4. Select the down arrow next to your survey name at the top of the screen, and then select Survey Invitations. 5. Select Add New Survey Activity. 6. Enter the required information in the General and Advanced sections. If you need help, point to any field to read the tooltips. If you have used piped data in the survey, ensure that the data is entered in the appropriate piped data field in the Advanced section. 7. Select Save. The invitation link is displayed in the Invitation Link field. 8. Copy the link and share it by using a third-party email provider. If you send email by using Dynamics 365, a survey activity is created automatically for the respondent. Personalize survey invitations If you want to personalize your survey invitation in a Dynamics 365 email, make sure your survey snippet contains piped data, and then add a vertical bar ( ) (also called a pipe), plus the parameters after the GUID, in your email invitation. The syntax to insert piped data in a survey snippet is: [Survey-Snippet-Start][ID] [PIPE_NAME]=[PIPE_VALUE][Survey-Snippet-End] The available piped data names are: User Customer Product
Service Datetime Location Other1 Other2 For example, this survey snippet contains piped data for Customer, User, and Other_1 (used for the case number): Thank you, _CUSTOMER_PIPED_DATA_! Your feedback will help us improve the service we deliver to you. Please take the time to answer a few questions regarding case number OTHER_1_PIPED_DATA_ and Customer Service Representative USER_PIPED_DATA_. In the email invitation, add the piped data field, followed by an equal sign (=) and the value. You can add multiple parameters, separated by a pipe ( ). Using the survey snippet example above, the following line in an email invitation: [Survey-Snippet-Start]bd3b2cc6-3597-e511-80bd- 00155db50802 customer=marie other_1=298724 user=nancy[survey-snippet-end] would look like this to the customer: Thank you, Marie! Your feedback will help us improve the service we deliver to you. Please take the time to answer a few questions regarding case number 298724 and Customer Service Representative Nancy. Automatically send survey invitations You can create a survey invitation from a workflow to gather feedback after an event in the customer journey. For example, you can send a satisfaction survey after a case is closed to gather feedback. You can create a workflow to send email, as shown in the following image. You can paste the survey snippet in the email body to generate a specific URL invitation. You can also insert piped data to personalize the invitation for the respondent.
Track survey invitations You can use the survey dashboard to track surveys you have sent to your respondents. Use the dashboard to select a combination of views and charts to see the results you're interested in. You can also create your personal, customized view to see the results. 2. Go to Voice of the Customer > Surveys. 3. Select the name of the survey you want to track. 4. From the Survey box, select Dashboard. 5. Select a view and chart from the view list and chart list, respectively for example, My Open Survey Invites as the view and Survey Invites By Month as the chart. The corresponding chart is displayed.

Design an advanced survey 11/13/2017 5 min to read Edit Online This section provides information about advanced features for designing surveys, for example, response routing, scoring, piping, and so on. Design interactive surveys by using response routing When you want to ask additional questions based on responses in a survey, create one or more response routing rules for the response you want more information about. For example, for the question How likely is it that you would recommend us to a friend?, you can create a response routing rule to ask the reason if someone responds Not likely. 2. Go to Voice of the Customer > Surveys. 3. Select the name of the survey to which you want to add a response routing rule. 4. Select the down arrow next to your survey name at the top of the screen, and then select Response Routings. 5. Select Add New Response Routing. 6. Enter a name for the response routing rule in Name, and then select Save so you can continue editing your response routing. 7. In the Conditions area, select the plus sign (+) to add a response condition. 8. In the Question field, browse to and select the question for which you want to create a rule. After you select a question, a few fields are enabled as defined by the selected question type. 9. Select values for Operator, Comparison Value, and Answer fields. The fields will differ based on the selected question type and operator.
10. Select Save. 11. In the Actions area, select the plus sign (+) to add a response action. 12. In the Name field, select the search button, and then select + New. 13. Enter a name for the action, and then select one of the following scopes: Client: Choose this if the action occurs within the survey (for example, show or hide a question). In the Client area, select the survey and the action to take, and then select Save. More information: Client-side routing Server: Choose this if the action occurs outside of the survey (for example, request contact or unsubscribe). In the Server area, select the action type, and then select the users or queues to notify, if applicable. Select Save. 14. In the Actions area, select the plus sign (+), browse to and select the action you created. 15. In the Otherwise area, create an action by following the steps you took to add a response action. This
action is triggered when the above-mentioned response action does not meet the specified response condition. For example, you added an Net Promoter Score question to the survey and you want to collect feedback when the rating is less than 5. Client-side routing You can use client-side routing to keep the survey relevant to the respondent and interactive. For example, show or hide a question based on the response to another question. Note: Be careful not to create a huge logic tree with many combinations of response actions, because this will increase your testing effort. Instead, split the survey into multiple, smaller surveys and send invitations to different groups of people. When you design an interactive survey and select Client as Scope, the following actions are available: Show: Shows a page, section, grid, or question based on a given response. Hide: Hides a page, section, grid, or question based on a given response. Skip to: Skips to a section, question, or grid based on the answer of a question. End survey: Goes to the end of the survey. This is useful for qualification questions. Chain survey: Opens a different survey based on a given response. Toggle visibility: Changes the visibility from visible to hidden and vice versa, depending on the current state of the control. Additional fields are displayed based on the selected action. If you need help, point to any field to read the tooltips. Add the unsubscribe option to a survey You can configure your survey to include a link that allows a respondent to unsubscribe from the survey. If this option is configured, the respondent is redirected to another survey to capture reasons for unsubscribing. When
the response is received in Dynamics 365, the respondent's contact preferences can be updated to prevent further surveys being sent. Unsubscribe actions work only for customer records stored in Dynamics 365 and not for anonymous surveys. 1. Create a survey that contains the questions to capture reasons for unsubscribing. 2. Open the survey to which you want to add the unsubscribe option. 3. Under Summary, select Yes for the Allow Unsubscribe field. Two new fields are displayed: Unsubscribe Survey and Unsubscribe Link Text. 4. From the Unsubscribe Survey field, select the survey you created to capture reasons for unsubscribing. 5. In the Unsubscribe Link Text field, enter text to display to the respondent. 6. Select Save in the lower-right corner of the screen. Create a lead from a survey response You can configure your survey to create a lead automatically from a survey response that is given by an anonymous respondent. 2. Go to Voice of the Customer > Surveys. 3. Select the name of the survey for which you want to create a lead automatically for an anonymous respondent. 4. Under Invitations and Actions, select Yes for the Create Lead For Anonymous Responses field. 5. Save the changes. 6. From the Survey box, select Designer. 7. Edit the questions you want to configure to create the lead by selecting a lead attribute from the Response Mapping list. More information: Store responses in a custom field by using response mapping 8. Save the changes. When a survey generates an anonymous response, and is configured to create a lead, the Create Lead workflow is invoked in the background for creating the lead. The lead entities are mapped to the survey response fields as described in the following table. LEAD ENTITY SURVEY RESPONSE FIELD Job Title Job Title
