aytm's Question Library allows you to save questions or question sets to build a library of frequently-used questions that streamline future survey programming. Additionally, use the Question Library to quickly replicate groups of questions or re-order multiple questions in your survey, or drag and drop snippets curated by the aytm team from the aytm Library. 

Library visibility

By default, when you open the library, you'll be able to see all libraries, but you can filter your view.

  1. Click the All drop-down, and check the boxes next to the libraries you would like to see, from Only me, aytm Library, your team library (if applicable), and My favorites.
    Note: the visibility of a snippet is indicated by the icon that appears on the right side of the snippet. A single avatar icon indicates the snippet is only visible to you; a multi-person avatar indicates team visibility; a library icon indicates the aytm library; and a star indicates your favorites.
