Surveys provide a way of polling site visitors. You specify questions for the survey, and define how respondents enter their answers. You can choose whether to hide respondents' names and whether to allow site visitors to respond more than once.
Important To create a survey, your web site must be on a server that is running SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft.
When you create a survey, a survey folder is added to the folder list of your web site. The pages in this folder enable site visitors to respond to the survey and display survey results.
A built-in view of a survey displays survey results as a list of responses. Another built-in view displays survey results as a graphical compilation of responses.
