Survey app is missing – SharePoint 2013

One of our managers has reported an issue that he is not able to see the survey list as he wanted to create a survey for his internal team.  Strange one as this never happens and this list is usually present in the add-app list.

After analyzing all the things and checking every nook & corner of the site collection, I was able to found out the solution and believe me, it was so easy!

Here are the resolution steps:-

1.       Open the SharePoint 2013 site collection

2.       Site actions

3.       Site settings

4.       Site features

5.       Activate – “Team Collaboration List” feature

6.       That’s it- you will be able to see the survey app in the list section.

In the past, I have published one article with respect to “how to create a survey” – just for the reference:

create a survey in SharePoint 2013

Survey is a special list which has some limitations as well as great way to interact with the audiences with respect to feedback on anything example- if we want to implement any new process, introduced any new technology etc. Feedback's are very important and that’s SharePoint has this amazing list which is termed as Survey List.

Today, in this article we will learn as how to create a survey list in SharePoint 2013:-

Let me go through step by step so that there will be no confusion. In case of any confusion then please let me know by which we can discuss and try to find out the solution. 

Let’s begin-

1)       Open the SharePoint 2013 site collection

2)       Site actions

3)       Add an app

4)       Advanced options

5)       Give survey name as per your requirements

6)       In survey options, adjust the settings as per your requirements

7)       Next

8)       Now imp sections- start preparing your questions and enter it one by one

9)       Another imp section i.e. column validation ( answer is valid/not, formula etc)

10)   For multiple questions, please click on additional question

11)   Once you are done with the questions then click on Finish.

12)   That’s it- your survey will be created.

Imp Note:

This is regarding permissions- Those who are planning to invite to respond to this survey, they should require contribute permissions to participate. If they have contribute permissions at the site level and this survey list is carrying unique level permissions (i.e. not inherited from site level permissions) then they will face problems. So the bottom line – please check the permissions at the list level too.
