User Engagement page
The User Engagement page lets you create and manage Sentiment and informational surveys to gain direct feedback related to end-user experience, as well as create and manage announcements to communicate with your end users.
There are three types of User Engagement:
-
Sentiment surveys: Have well-defined responses that contribute to the overall Sentiment score, and the returned results can be visualized under the format of charts on the Sentiment page.
-
Info surveys: Can be customized to a greater extent than the Sentiment surveys, but they do not contribute to the overall Sentiment score.
-
Announcements: These are one-way communications which can be used for a variety of use cases, such as broadcasting to end users information about organizational changes, IT news and updates and more.
We are currently migrating existing functionality to the new UI. While workflows and naming conventions may change, the underlying use cases will remain the same.
The new UI uses modern design principles and includes the following elements:
-
Expandable left-hand and drop-down menu: The menu can be expanded or collapsed using the chevron icon located at the top of the pane.
-
Search: Execute instructions and search for devices using keyboard shortcuts, including those based on their Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) and Insights.
-
DEX Intelligence: A powerful tool designed to enhance your organization's efficiency and decision-making capabilities.
-
Inventory Insights: Devices and Software are available in the left-hand navigation bar.
-
Investigation: Search, run, schedule, review, and manage device instructions directly from the console, including access to instruction history and scheduled tasks.
-
Observability: Ask questions in natural language and instantly generate and customize reports based on your organization’s data.
-
User Engagements: Create user engagements, surveys, and announcements in an appropriate language.
-
Settings: You can access and configure 1E Client certificates, integrations, Identity Provider certificates and Platform settings.
-
Module launcher: You can launch other Platform modules and any Solutions that are included with your license.
-
User profile: Click this to manage your exports, check your Platform version, or log out.
Dark mode is only available in the new UI. You can control the system theme using the switcher in Settings. For details refer to Appearance.
Module visibility is determined by your license.
User Engagements provide a way to deliver surveys and announcements to end users. By using localized user engagements, administrators can define engagement content once and provide translated versions, allowing users to receive the engagement in the most appropriate language based on their device locale.
Surveys and announcements can be created using the existing functionality in the Experience Analytics module of the classic UI.
The main part of the User Engagement page is represented by a searchable table, this is a common feature across the new UI. Refer to Page toolbar search, filters, columns, delete, export.
The name of the Engagement is a link to the engagement details page providing information related to the survey responses or other user engagement results.
For Sentiment surveys, the name is also a metric that contributes towards the Sentiment score. You can monitor it using a chart on the Experience Sentiment page. Refer to Sentiment page.
-
Sentiment surveys are marked by a survey icon.
-
Info surveys are marked by an exclamation icon.
-
Announcements are marked by an announcement Icon.
There are also a number of actions related to the table selections.

Engagement details
Sentiment and Info survey details
For Sentiment and Info surveys, you define the Name, Question, Description, and an optional Link to further information. The Details section is almost identical for Sentiment and Info surveys, except for the difference described in the last row of the following table.
If two surveys have the same question, the name of the survey will display to the user within parenthesis.
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Name |
Defines how the survey is referred to in the Experience UI. For Sentiment surveys, the Name also defines the name of the metric the responses will be scored on. |
|
Question |
Sets the question you will ask your end users. You should design your questions carefully, as they will be sent to end users, and you will want to maximize your responses. Refer to Names, Questions, Descriptions and Frequency. The Question can be a maximum of 128 characters, including the question mark. |
|

|
Prompt Question Cadence or Deadline |
This section is different for Sentiment surveys and Info surveys and reflects the nature of the two types of survey. Sentiment surveys: Used when you are trying to get information on a metric that you want to measure. This means that you want to prompt your end users to respond on a regular basis. This section provides an option where you can set a prompt to ask the question every x days. Info surveys: Used where you are trying to get feedback on a particular topic on a one-off basis. Your end users aren't likely to all respond immediately, so you want to send a cut-off date that prevents the survey from going stale but still allows your end users to send responses when they can. For this reason, this section for Info surveys provides a Deadline field with a date picker that lets you choose when to stop prompting users that haven't yet responded. |
Announcement Details
For an Announcement, you define the Name, Announcement Title, Announcement Description, Footer Notes, an optional link to further information, the Deadline, as well whether the Announcement should be High Priority.
Each section described in the following table:

|
Footer Notes (optional) |
This section can be used to add disclaimers or contact information relevant for the Announcement. The Footer Notes can be a maximum of 512 characters. |
|
Deadline |
For announcements, you are trying to broadcast information on a particular topic on a one-off basis. Your end users aren't likely to all review the Announcement immediately, and the Announcement may cease to be relevant after a certain period of time, so you want to send a cut-off date that prevents the Announcement from going stale. For this reason, this section for announcements provides a Deadline field with a date picker that lets you choose when to stop prompting users that haven't yet seen the Announcement. |
|
High Priority |
Select this option for announcements that are considered urgent and must be displayed immediately on end-user devices. If High Priority is selected, the 1E Client, which manages the timing for any engagement displayed to the end-user, will show the Announcement immediately after the Announcement has been deployed, and the 1E Client receives it. |
Sentiment and Info survey responses

If you allow additional languages, responses are returned in the respondent's device locale language. Responses in other languages must be translated manually. |
The following shows the Responses section for Info surveys. Here you can see that there is a delete option at the end of each response option and there is a + for adding more options. You can add up to 10 options in total. Clicking the text field for an option lets you edit the text.

Review
When you have finished making changes to your Sentiment, Info survey, or Announcement, click Create to close the New Engagement page. At this point, your new survey will need to be enabled and deployed before it appears to end users.
Deploying a survey or an Announcement
At the top of the User Engagement page in the header, is Deploy. This must be used when you want to apply your changes to the targeted devices. When you click Deploy, a Policy Deployment pop-up window appears with a list of the changes that have been made.
There are a number of reasons why you would choose to create a copy of a User Engagement. You may want to create a survey with a new question and description but keep everything else the same as an existing one. Because User Engagements cannot be edited, once you have created a User Engagement the only way to change it is to create and edit a copy. Subsequently, you would then need to disable the previous one and enable and deploy the copy.
You can copy a single existing User Engagement by selecting it from the User Engagement table and clicking Clone. This displays the New Engagement page pre-filled with all the details from the selected User Engagement. When doing this, you must change the name of the Engagement, so it doesn't clash with the previous one. You then modify the rest of the parameters as needed.
To delete one or more User Engagements, select them from the User Engagements table and click Delete. An Deletion Engagement pop-up window will be displayed asking you to confirm the deletion. Click Delete to remove the selected engagements.
Once deleted, the User Engagement will no longer appear in the User Engagement table. Before the deletions take effect on any previously targeted devices they must be deployed.
To enable one or more User Engagements, select them from the User Engagement table and click Enable. An Enable Engagement pop-up window will be displayed asking you to confirm that you want to enable the selected Engagement. Click Enable to enable the selected Engagement.
The selected User Engagement will appear as enabled in the User Engagement table, however, before the enablement changes take effect on any targeted devices they must be deployed.
To disable one or more User Engagements, select them from the User Engagement table and click Disable. A Disable Engagement pop-up window will be displayed asking you to confirm that you want to disable the selected User Engagement. Click Disable to disable the selected User Engagement.
The selected User Engagement will appear as disabled in the User Engagement table, however, before the disablement changes take effect on any targeted devices they must be deployed.
At the top of the page in the header is Deploy. This must be used whenever you want to apply any of the changes you make to the devices targeted by either surveys or announcements. When you click Deploy, an Engagements Deployment pop-up window appears with a list of pending changes.
The main part of the User Engagement page is represented by a searchable table:
|

|
Name |
The name of the Engagement is a link to the engagement details page providing information related to the survey responses or other user engagement results.
