Configuration#

Survey configuration is split into two levels:

  • Survey options — per-survey settings, stored on the Survey item itself and edited in the survey’s edit form. They control how a single survey handles submissions, mails, validation, access, embedding and PDF output.

  • Global options — site-wide settings, stored in the Plone registry and edited in the Forms control panel (Site Setup > Forms). They provide defaults and global switches.

Per-survey settings generally take precedence over the global defaults (notably for the Mail settings: surveys without their own Mail settings inherit the global ones, surveys with their own settings override them).
