Last updated

17 January 2025

Overview

The Instant feedback feature allows you to manage survey responses effectively from the CMS. When a survey response is received, a notification will appear, and you can review all responses in the Inbox section under Feedback in the left-hand menu (CMS > Feedback > Inbox).

This tool helps you monitor guest feedback, track trends, and respond promptly to customer needs.

Before getting started

Before managing survey responses, ensure you:

  1. Have access to the CMS.
  2. Understand the different survey types (Welcome, Generic, Facilities & Services, or Checkout).
  3. Are familiar with the response statuses: New, Pending, In progress, and Solved.

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Review the list of survey responses

  1. Navigate to Feedback > Inbox in the CMS.
  2. You will see a list of all survey responses organized into the following columns:
    • Survey: Shows the type of survey completed (e.g., Welcome, Generic).
    • Overall score: Displays the average score of all questions. Hover over the score to view detailed answers and comments.
    • Additional comments: If the survey includes a comment field, this section displays guest feedback.
    • Guest: Indicates whether the user has logged in or not. Hover over the guest’s name to see check-in/check-out dates, their average score, and last activity summary (not available for non-logged users).
    • Date: Shows when the response was submitted.
    • Status: Displays the current status of the response (New, Pending, In progress, or Solved).
    • Actions: Click the pencil icon to view the full details of a response.

Step 2: View and manage response details

  1. Click the pencil icon in the Actions column to open the response details.
  2. Review the following tabs:
    • Guest tab: Displays user details, including overall survey scores and stay information.
    • Response tab: Provides a detailed breakdown of the user’s answers to each question (scores and comments).
  3. Manage the response:
    • Update the status of the response by selecting an option (New, Pending, In progress, Solved) and clicking Save changes.
    • Send a message to the guest by typing in the text box and clicking Send message.
    • Create a request if the response identifies a guest need, forwarding it to property staff through the CMS request channel.

 

 

Step 3: Search and filter survey responses

  1. Use the Search guest box to look for a specific response by entering the guest’s name or “Non-logged user.”
  2. Apply filters to refine your search:
    • Date range: View responses received within a specific period.
    • Survey type: Select a specific survey or view all surveys.
    • Services: Focus on specific services or facilities with surveys.
    • Number of stars: Filter responses by score.
    • Comments: Choose responses with comments, without comments, or both.
    • Mode: Filter by proactive, post-service, or all responses.
    • Status: Filter responses by their current status (e.g., New, Solved).
  3. Export your search results:
    • Download a file in spreadsheet format (.xlsx) for further analysis.
  4. Use the Clear filters button to reset your search and apply new criteria.
