In today’s post we’ll be looking at editing the survey form (page) as well as adding a Thank You page which reroutes the user to another page after submitting / closing the survey.
Create the survey:
1. Site Settings
2. Add an app
3. Survey > Name > New Theme 2015
With this survey I want users to “vote” for the new theme that will be applied to their Collaboration site. I’ve added only one Choice (radio button) question, with the following options: Orange, Sea Monster and Green.
4. Settings > Add question > Choice (radio buttons): Please select your new 2015 Theme
5. Finish
Add Image:
I want people to see a preview of the theme when they make their choice, so I’ve made a screenshot of the themes and saved the image to my Site Assets library
6. Save image to Site Assets
7. Right-click copy URL of image
Edit page:
8. Go back to the Survey overview page and click on “Respond to this survey”
9. Settings > Edit the page
10. Add a web part
11. Media and Content > Image Viewer > Add
12. Once the web part is added, click “open the tool pane” to go to the settings
13. In the “To link to an image file, type a URL or path” field – paste the URL you copied to the image
14. Under Appearance > Chrome Type – set this to None (this will hide the web part header)
15. OK > Apply
16. Save the page
Building the Thank You page:
17. Settings > Add a page > Name it Thank you
18. Add any text necessary (I’ve added a link back to the Intranet Home Page)
19. Save the page
Reroute the finish button to the Thank you Page:
20. Get the link to the survey:
21. Replace the “overview” with new form: (this will open the form when users click on the link).
22. Add the rerouting: (survey link + ?Source= + Thank you Page URL)
23. When sending the link out on an email (or announcement) select the words “click here to complete the survey”, right-click > Hyperlink and paste the new hyperlink in the address field.
Voila!! Once users click the finish button, they will be rerouted to the Thank you Page and not the server settings (overview) page.

Thanks for this great tip – and all the others on your site too. However, I couldn’t get this tip to work and eventually figured it out that it only works if your survey has no branching … Is that right?

Hmm I’ll have to think about that…. as I’m sure it does work with branching? I’ve had times where it doesn’t work and can’t say I’ve figured out why. Please send more detail as I’d like to troubleshoot this further.

Hello again 😉
I didn’t manage to “change” the URL for the finish button to point towards the Thank you page actually.
I wonder how you actually edit the url for the form to change into NewForm. When I do it, ok I can do it in an e-mail for instance, but everytime a user clicks the link in the e-mail, even though he starts the survey as foreseen, once he get to the end and clicks the finish button, he returns to the “Overview” url, and not the Thank you page.
should the URL be changed somewhere within Sharepoint itself ? And in such case, how ? I tried everything to edit & change the url but never found a way to do it…
Thanks for your help

Hi Ivan. I suspect the page breaks from the branching logic messes with this ability. The URL change is only on the actual string you supply the users. Whether that on a button or link you’ve added somewhere or in an email. Please retry another survey – just with one question, no branch logic or page breaks and try the reroute change on the URL.

This work great is you don’t have any page separator or branching. How can you make this work with a next button as the Source= does not follow when next is clicked?
Thanks for this post. Was pretty hard to find tough.

I have to admit I have not worked with surveys in years. All Online now so Microsoft Forms is what I use now. Can’t help with this but I suggest you post something on Twitter tagging SharePoint and on the SharePoint Facebook groups? Hope you come right!

For those of us still in SharePoint on-prem land, posts like this are still SO very useful and appreciated! Thank you, Tracy- exactly what I needed!

You are so very welcome. 😊 Even though I only write blogs now for Office 365 I’m always surprised how many hits I still get on on-premises stuff.
