Departments and User Accounts

Departments, or groups, are specifically designed for teams. Departments help your teams collaborate on surveys. With Zoho Survey, you can create and maintain departments and user accounts, and share surveys and reports with the organization members. Please note, however, that these are features that are exclusive to Enterprise customers. 

You can invite members to your department and potentially change their role to Vendor later. Members can view and edit every survey created within a portal. However, vendors can only view and edit the surveys they create.

• Create a new department?
• Make edits to the department properties?
• Delete a department?
• Add more users to my department?

White Label

A white label survey allows you to have your brand name on your surveys, without having a Zoho Survey logo anywhere on the questionnaire. Essentially, it lets you distribute surveys from your sub-domain. 

How do I set up a custom domain?

The Domain Mapping feature enables you to publish the survey from the URL that belongs to your own sub-domain. For example, if your company is XYZ Corp., and you're mapping your domain with Zoho Survey, your customers can access your Survey portal at https://survey.xyzcorp/zs/ instead of https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/.

There are a few things that you need to do in your admin portal.

1. Sign in to your domain registrar's control panel.
2. Access the DNS Management Settings to change the DNS records. If you can't locate DNS Management, look for options such as Advanced Settings or Name Server Management.
3. Create a CNAME (or Canonical Name) entry from your sub-domain's admin portal.
4. Enter the host name and point it to customer-survey.zoho.com. Changes to the DNS system are not immediate; it may take some time for them to take effect.
5. Contact Zoho Survey Support to purchase the SSL certificate for your sub-domain free of cost. SSL certificate will be renewed for the CNAME entry pointed during your initial purchase. SSL certificates purchased from third-party vendors cannot be installed in Zoho Survey. When the SSL certificate is purchased for your sub-domain, you can try accessing the custom domain link available in the Launch tab of your survey. Remember to make sure your website is live at the moment we try to access the survey link. 

1. Click Setup on the Zoho Survey home page.
2. Click White Label on the left pane. 
3. Type a name in the Enter a sub-domain text box. For example:, https://survey.xyzcorp.com
4. Click Save.
   

You have now configured your sub-domain for Zoho Survey.

To send surveys from this particular domain address, go to the Launch tab and distribute your survey via the Custom Domain web link that has been generated.
