### Data Loading Surveys as

[![Closed](../../../../Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)Survey Designers](#)

Survey designers can create surveys in bulk using the Vault Loader.

Object records must be data loaded in the following order to preserve object relationships:

1. survey\_\_v records.
2. survey\_question\_\_v records – order\_\_v must be defined on data loaded survey\_question\_\_v records. order\_\_v starts with 0 and increments in whole numbers (0, 1, 2, 3).
3. survey\_target\_\_v records.

question\_\_v records can be data loaded at any time.

When data loading survey targets, ensure the type\_\_v value on the question\_response\_\_v record is not blank and matches the object\_type\_\_v field on the survey\_question\_\_v record.

#### Field Format Considerations

When data loading Survey, Survey Question, and Question records, certain field formats must be adhered to.

Survey:

* account\_types\_\_v

  Format: account\_\_v Object Type Name 1;account\_\_v Object Type Name2

  Example: hcp\_\_v;kol\_\_v
* channels\_\_v

  Format: question\_response\_\_v Object Type Name 1;question\_response\_\_v Object Type Name 2

  Example: crm\_\_v;clm\_\_v
* territories\_\_v

  Format: Format: ;territory\_\_v.name\_\_v 1;territory\_\_v.name\_\_v 2;territory\_\_v.name\_\_v 3;

  Example: ;101;102;103;
* segment\_\_v

  Format: Segment Name 1;Min Value 1;Max Value1;Segment Name 2;Min Value 2;Max Value2;

  Example: Tier 3;0;25;Tier 2;36;75;Tier 1;76;100;

Survey Questions and Questions:

* answer\_choice\_\_v

  Format: Answer Choice Value 1;Weight 1;Answer Choice Value 2;Weight 2;Answer Choice Value 3;Weight 3

  Example: Option A;5;Option B;5;Option C;5

  If weights are not used, enter 0 as the weight. Do not skip entering the weight (Option A;Option B;OptionC), as this will cause an error.
