# Survey templates – what's editable and what isn't

## A quick guide to what you can customise in Wellio surveys, what's fixed, and how to share feedback if there's something you'd like to change.

When setting up a survey in Wellio, you have control over:

- **Which template to use** – Wellio Index or Wellbeing Skills Index, depending on what you're measuring.
- **Survey start and end dates** – when the survey is available for students to complete.
- **Confidentiality setting** – whether responses are confidential (anonymous, aggregated by year level and class) or non-confidential (linked to student profiles for individual analysis).
- **Year levels** – which cohorts receive the survey.
- **Specific student groups or classes** within those year levels.

 

### What you can't currently edit

The following parts of a survey template **cannot be changed** at the moment:

- **Question wording** – the text of each question is fixed.
- **Adding new questions** – you can't add custom questions to a template.
- **Removing questions** – individual questions can't be skipped or removed from a template.
- **Question order** – the sequence of questions is fixed.
- **Response scale** – all questions use the standard Likert scale (Strongly Disagree → Strongly Agree).

This applies to all current survey templates, including the Wellio Index, Wellbeing Skills Index, and School Climate Index.

### Why survey questions are fixed

Our survey templates are built and validated by our team of clinical psychologists and educators. Keeping the questions consistent means:

- **Your results are comparable year-on-year** – you can track changes in student wellbeing over time without question changes skewing the data.
- **Benchmarking works** – you can see how your school compares to broader Wellio data.
- **The underlying constructs stay valid** – small changes to question wording can meaningfully change what's being measured.

That's why we don't currently offer in-platform editing of survey templates.
