Overview
Districts often run very different types of professional‑learning sessions—workshops, PLCs, conferences, coaching cycles, and more. Using a single “one‑size‑fits‑all” feedback form can make it hard to gather actionable data. With multiple PD feedback forms, you can:
Align feedback questions to the specific learning experience (e.g., session goals vs. multi‑day institutes).
Keep a core set of standardized questions for district‑wide reporting.
Reduce “form‑fatigue” by asking only what’s relevant, which increases response rates.
You’ll need the “Manage Feedback Forms” permission to complete the tasks below.
Access the Feedback Form Management page
From the KickUp main menu, choose Learning › Manage › Feedback Forms.
You’ll land on the Active Forms tab. Here you’ll see:
Form Name
Status (Active)
Default (✔︎ indicates which form new events will use by default)
Use the Inactive tab to view or reactivate older forms.
Create a new feedback form
On the Active Forms tab, click Create Form.
Enter a clear, descriptive Form Name (e.g., Conference Session Feedback).
Build the form:
Click Add Question to add items.
Use Sections to group related questions.
When you’re ready, click Publish. The form becomes immediately available to event creators.
Best‑practice tip:
Keep each form around 6–8 questions total (3–4 district‑wide questions + 3–4 form‑specific questions) so participants can finish in ≈ 5 minutes.
Set or change the default feedback form
In the Active list, click the … menu next to a form.
Select Make Default. A checkmark appears, and the form moves to the top of the list.
Only one form can be the default at a time.
Deactivate (or reactivate) a form
Deactivating hides a form from event creators but preserves historical data.
In the Active tab, open the three dot menu and choose Mark Inactive.
The form moves to the Inactive tab.
To use it again, open the Inactive tab, click … › Mark Active.
Data‑integrity tip:
If you need to make major wording or structural changes, deactivate the old form and create a new one. This keeps past results intact and separate from future data.
Learn more about how others in your district can use PD Feedback Forms.
Once you have published a feedback form, event creators can select the feedback form when creating or editing an event. See this help article to learn more.
As participants fill out the feedback forms, you and others with appropriate permissions will be able to view the collected data in existing tools. See this help article to learn more.
High‑level recommendations for sustainable form management
Goal | Recommendation |
Consistency across forms | Add 3–4 core questions to every form, placed in a dedicated section. Use multiple‑choice or matrix items for easy dashboarding, and apply shared data labels. |
Ease of administration | Limit the district‑built library to no more than three active forms at first. As needs grow, empower department leads to request or build additional forms. |
Monitoring & clean‑up | Review forms each term. Mark rarely‑used forms Inactive to keep the dropdown tidy for event creators. |
Response rates | Keep forms short, and limit open‑response questions to two or three. Shorter surveys yield higher participation. |
