1. Access Survey Settings

From a Phase record in akoyaGO, launch the Application Form Editor:

From within Simple Form Builder, click the Survey Settings icon in the top navigation bar to configure form properties:

2. General

• Make the survey read-only (toggle). By default, this will be toggled off. If you want all questions within this Phase to be read-only, you can turn this setting on. Remember, there is also a read-only option at a question level. 
• Select a Survey language: Default is English (currently the only language supported by akoyaGO).
• Survey width mode:
  • Auto (default) – Best practice is to keep this setting; it adapts to question types.
  • Static – Sets a fixed width.
  • Responsive – Occupies the full width of the screen.

3. Logo in the Survey Header

• Survey logo: Paste an image link (no size limits) or click the folder icon to upload a file from your computer.
• File upload size limit: Up to 64 KB when using the folder (upload) option.
• Public image links: If using a link, ensure it can be pasted into any browser and the image loads (the link must be public).
• Logo width: Set width in CSS units (px, %, in, pt, etc.). Default = auto.
• Logo height: Set height in CSS units. Default = 40px.
• Logo fit: Default = Contain.
  • None – Image maintains original size.
  • Contain – Resizes to fit while maintaining aspect ratio.
  • Cover – Fills the entire box while maintaining aspect ratio.
  • Fill – Stretches to fill the box (does not maintain aspect ratio).

Important: Use public image URLs for logos, or upload files under 64 KB via the folder icon.

4. Navigation

• Survey layout (option set):
  • Original Structure (default)
  • Show all questions on one page. Displays the entire form on one page. This is best suited for shorter forms where all questions are easily visible without overwhelming the user with scrolling.
  • Show single question per page
• Show table of contents (TOC): Default = unchecked. A table of contents (TOC) shows an outline of form contents and helps users to quickly navigate through longer forms.
