Online surveys (formerly BOS) is an easy-to-use service that lets you build, send out, and analyse your survey results, all on the web. The University of Leeds has an active subscription to this service.
Online Surveys version 3 (v3) is now available. All existing users (as at 20th September 2023) and any new user will be set up on v3 by default.
People still using Online Surveys v2 can continue to use this version for existing surveys until July 31st 2024. However, the ability to create new surveys in v2 was disabled by Jisc on 2nd April 2024.
You will need to migrate to v3 before 31st July 2024. For new surveys. you will need to use Online Surveys v3 from now on.
Jisc has changed the dates and advice relating to the Online Surveys migration several times. This article will be updated if there are any further changes.

Please note that the two versions of Online Surveys (v2 and v3) will only run in parallel until July 31st 2024. Before this date, the creation of new surveys in v2 will be prevented by Jisc to encourage the use of the new version.
Jisc will NOT be migrating existing data and surveys from v2 to v3. Please refer to the following frequently asked questions page, and review what steps you need to take to manually backup your data from v2: FAQ: Migration to Online Surveys v3.
