By creating private questions, you can ensure that sensitive or confidential information is only visible to the admins, while still gathering valuable feedback and insights from your team members.
Admins can create a private question and send it to the employees. All the responses received will be only visible to the admins.
There are three types of private questions that can be created:
- Rating scale
- Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)
- Open Ended
Admins can create private questions while setting up and launching Team Pulse. After launching Team Pulse, admins can also create a new question from the Manage questions tab.
Create questions while setting up and launching Team Pulse:
Step 1: Navigate to Settings >Team Pulse > Settings > Manage Private Questions
Step 2: Click Create.

Step 3: Select the question type and enter the question.
Step 4: Select the question category.
Note: You can also select multiple question categories.
Step 5: Set the question frequency and select the question's start and end dates.
Note: By default, a created question never expires. Select "Custom" from the Ends drop-down to set the end date for the private question.
Step 6: Select the Response visible only to admin checkbox to make the response only visible to them. Admins can also collect the response anonymously.
Note: If the response is not made visible only to admin, the created question will fall under the team question.
Step 7: Click Save to add your team question to Team Pulse.
Step 1: Navigate to Admin > Team Pulse > Manage Questions.
Step 2: From the "Add Question" drop-down, click Create New Question.
