Distributions define the method of your survey deployment and control the conditions under which the surveys are shown. Survey targeting, frequency, pacing and design are all part of the distribution controls as these settings may vary across different channels and platforms. The following guide will take you through the settings for web distributions and how to associate surveys to a web distribution.
Getting there
Navigate to the Distributions by clicking on Interact and then on Distributions in the left side menu. This screen shows an overview of all your distributions, from here you can create a new distribution or edit an existing one.
Design
The following settings can be configured as part of the distribution set up, they will be inherited by all associated surveys. The inherited settings can be overridden on an individual level as part of the survey association.
Set the default design theme for all associated surveys.
Survey Placement
Choose the placement of the survey and whether or not an overlay should be shown behind the survey. The overlay can emphasise the survey as it can hide the underlying content. Optionally you will be able to force users to interact with the survey.
Overlay color (Backdrop) and opacity
Choose for the surveys to be shown with a backdrop. When the survey is shown it can restrict access to the underlying page and blur out the underlying content. By default, the overlay is set to be transparent. Change the opacity by adjusting the Alpha value.
