Save a survey object to the Question Library – Alida Help Center

Save any survey object (questions, page elements, or survey actions) as a reusable component for future surveys. If you have nested survey objects (for example, one page that contains multiple groups of questions), you can save the entire object at the page level.

The Question Library allows a maximum of 100 objects. If you reach the maximum limit, you will be prompted to remove existing objects before you can save new ones.

Tip: To save an entire survey as a reusable blueprint, see Save a survey as a template.

In the Table of Contents, right-click a survey object and select Save to Library.
To add a top-level survey object (such as a page) to the Question Library, in the Table of Contents, right-click it and select Save to Library.

All of the nested survey objects are also saved as part of the component.

Note: Dividers cannot be added to the Question Library as top-level survey objects.

Note: Template names must be:

Unique for the template type, among the templates you own.
For example, you can save a Single Choice question and an Allocation question to the Question Library using the same name, but not two Single Choice questions. This does not prevent another user from saving a Single Choice question to the Question Library under the same name and sharing the object.
100 characters or under.

If another template already exists with the same name, a notification message (Unable to Save Template) appears. Click Save as, type a new name, and click Save.

When you save a survey object to the Question Library, the following elements are preserved:

Survey object name
Description (for Group, Survey Logic, Set Value, and End Survey actions)
Question and answer text
Properties settings
References to profile variables, respondent variables, or survey answers
Any attached media files (video, images, audio)
Translation text
