Quickstart Guide

Get started with MQUAD — create an account, build a survey, grant access, collect responses, and view results

Follow this walkthrough to create your first survey and collect responses in MQUAD.

1. Create an Account

Navigate to your MQUAD instance URL and click Sign Up. Complete the registration form:

  • Full Name — Your contact name
  • Email Address — Your primary email for login
  • Password — Use a strong password (minimum 8 characters)
  • Workspace Name — The name of your organization's new workspace

You will receive a verification email — click the link to activate your account. Once verified, log in to access your workspace dashboard.

2. Create a Survey

From the sidebar, navigate to Surveys and click Create Survey. Give your survey a title (e.g., "Customer Satisfaction Survey") and an optional description. Click Create to open the survey designer.

The designer auto-saves your progress. Add your first question by clicking the + button:

  • Question text: "How satisfied are you with our service?"
  • Question type: Select Range (slider input) and set min 1, max 5
  • Required: Toggle on

Add a second question:

  • Question text: "Any additional comments?"
  • Question type: Text
  • Required: Toggle off

When ready, click Publish to make the survey active. The designer validates your survey before publishing.

3. Grant Access and Collect Responses

MQUAD uses access-controlled data collection — enumerators must be granted permission to fill a survey.

In your survey, click Manage Access:

  • Add users by email and set their access level to Fill
  • Enumerators will see the survey on their Forms page and can submit responses

To test your survey, you can also fill it yourself from the Forms page.

4. View Results

Navigate to your survey and open the Data tab. You will see a table of submitted responses. Click on a response to view full details.

Switch to the Analytics tab for aggregate insights:

  • Total response count
  • Completion rate with progress indicator
  • Response trend over time (daily/weekly/monthly chart)
  • Per-question answer distribution with percentages

Use the Export tab to download data in CSV, Excel (XLSX), or JSON format.

Next Steps

  • Invite team members to collaborate via Users in the sidebar
  • Configure approval workflows to review responses before finalizing
  • Set up a custom dashboard with the dashboard builder
  • Import surveys from XLSForm for advanced form designs

Your survey is live and collecting data.
