Once you’ve created a survey, you can select it from the **Engagement Survey** list. 

When you first open your survey, it won't have any fields or tasks associated with it. You must first add a form to the survey.

:::hint{type="info"}
Forms are made up of built-in and custom ChartHop fields used by your organization to capture and store data. You can use these fields to create performance survey-specific forms to use in the survey. [Learn more.](https://docs.charthop.com/forms)

You can add multiple forms to each survey. For example, you may send a slightly different form to certain departments.  When you add a form, you have the ability to specify the group of employees who will receive that form based on their information.

Adding a form to a survey involves the following steps:

1. Selecting a form for your survey
2. Adding people to your survey
3. Customizing the notification message for your survey
4. Reviewing and sending out the form to your participants



### Setup a recurring survey
