#### FAQ
#### Q. Does each recipient get a unique survey URL?
A. Yes. Each recipient receives a unique URL specific to their delivery.
#### Q. Can I run a device inventory survey without the device management feature?
A. Yes. Set the target type to "Employee" to deliver the survey to targets registered in Directory.
Add a question asking respondents to enter an asset number. Employees can then fill in their device information, enabling a device inventory survey.
#### Q. Can I change the logo or content shown to respondents in the survey?
A. Unfortunately, there is no editing screen for this, and it cannot be changed at this time.
#### Q. Is there a limit to the number of departments I can select on the "Select targets" screen?
A. If you need to select 15 or more departments, please split the survey into multiple deliveries. (We plan to improve this in the future.)
