Microsoft aspires to bring the best possible experiences for users around the world through its innovative product offerings. Play a key role in helping Microsoft build the features that you need as we develop our products or services.
The SharePoint Server asks farm administrators to provide feedback through a feedback pop-up dialog when each admin launches the Central Administration page either locally or remotely through a browser. Your feedback goes directly to our engineers and helps us shape the future of SharePoint Server and services for our users.
Note
By default, this feature is enabled.
An example of the "Survey" feature that was introduced in Version 24H1 is depicted in the following screenshot:
Starting from Version 25H1, SharePoint Server has introduced an enhancement that overwrites the feature introduced in Version 24H1. This enhancement allows the dynamic configuration and display of surveys to gather administrator feedback in a more effective manner based on current needs.
This Version 25H1-enhancement provides scope for making the following types of surveys as configurable and customizable:
- Survey type
- Rating question
- Survey rating scale and options
- Comment Question
- Whether to collect user email
The enhancement's significance is the changes in the "pop-up" frequency that follows the following rules:
- User-level cooldown: 14 days - This is the waiting period after triggering a survey during which a user can't see another survey. Unlike the earlier feature in which the survey form used to appear 2 weeks after the farm administrator signed in to the Central Administration portal, the Dynamic Survey features displays the survey immediately on the farm administrator signing in to the Central Administration portal and provides a cooldown period of 14 days to the user to fill the survey form, during which the farm administrator can't see any other survey form.
- Survey-level cooldown: configurable - This is the waiting period after triggering a survey during which a user can't see the same survey.
- A survey won't appear again for users who have already submitted.
You can also disable the survey feature for the farm administrators or specific users. For information on how to disable the survey feature, see:
