The enterprise Experience Theme provides an optimal user experience for the platform. By switching to the Enterprise Experience, one has the best and most accessible view to the features and functionality that the platform provides. Below explores the navigational aspects of the new look and feel for the application and how to find what one needs to build out projects, surveys, workflows, and much more!
Note: Moving to the Enterprise Experience theme does not affect survey functionality or the respondent experience when working through projects.
To switch to the Enterprise Experience, select Account > Summary > Defaults, then click the Enterprise Experience theme!
Non admin users are able to switch their Account Theme by Selecting in the top right Account > My Preferences > Enterprise Experience.
When one first logs into the platform when utilizing the Enterprise Experience Theme, one is shown the below display of the application:
Projects
The Left Navigation Menu on the far left side of the screen allows users to access various sections of the application. When one logs in, the Projects section displays by default. Within the Projects Section, created Projects are listed down the center of the screen while folders, the trash bin, survey quotas, and recently created projects are shown below the Create a Survey button. At the bottom of the Projects section, users can Download Survey List of all projects in the account, and paginate through all the previously created projects as well:
Audience
The Audience Section allows users to upload files of contacts into the application to expedite ones Email Campaigns and SMS Campaigns. Selecting Create New List allows one to upload a CSV, XLS, or XLSX of contacts that are later used when adding contacts to Email and SMS Campaigns:
Once a spreadsheet is uploaded into the Audience section, match the columns of the file to the contact fields for simple reporting:
Selecting Manage Custom Fields provides a popup window on the right side of the screen where one can add specific fields to map columns of an uploaded spreadsheet to. Once all the desired fields have been added, select Save Fields at the bottom right of the popup window:

Design Library
The Design Library Section is home to several pages that affect the overall display of the projects in an account. By Selecting the Design Library, a dropdown menu displays a few options to choose from:
Files
The Files Page is where one can store images and other file types to use in projects, email messages, etc. To upload a file or document click Add Files > Choose Files:
Select the Files one would like to upload. Each file selected for upload allows one to provide a Title as well as a Caption:
Once a file is added, Select the Edit option to the far right of a file to make changes to the Title or Caption, as well as pull the Files URL or the Embed Code:
Click the red X to delete a file from the library.
On the left hand side of the Files page, create Folders to organize files. Select New Folder to add subsections of files on the files page:
- Once a folder is created, drag and drop files to start organizing the File Library.
- The last viewed folder will be saved for your next login.
Using Files in Your Surveys
Images uploaded to your library are available to select on the options tab of an Image Element. Click on the image icon and you will be prompted to choose file from the File Library.
One can also select images from your File Library to add as answer options in Image Select questions. Click on the image icon within the Multiple Choice Options section:
Using your File URLs and Embed Codes to Insert Files
For each of the files in the File Library there is a URL and an embed code available to allow users to easily access these files elsewhere in Projects.
- File URL - This will provide you the source URL link
- Embed Code - This link includes an HTML Image Source tag (
<img src>
) so you can easily copy and paste in your survey or in the theme of your survey
For example, when designing a survey one may want to include a list of definitions or other reference material for your respondents to review. But a wall of text can be intimidating for respondents and, once the respondent navigates away from the page, they won't have the material there for reference. Linking to a document hosted on the SurveyGizmo File Library is an excellent solution!
