How to Solicit Feedback in SharePoint
Developing a survey is the easiest and most meaningful way of soliciting feedback from users. The task of developing comprehensive surveys in SharePoint can be accomplished using the Out of the Box (OOTB) survey list. SharePoint surveys are easy to design with no programming or code development required. You can enable anonymous responses to SharePoint surveys and create logical and dynamic surveys using the "Branching" capability, where questions can be skipped based on user responses.
