Power survey themes

Apply Community themes to determine the appearance of power surveys in desktop and mobile view.

Refer to this topic as you create a new Community theme with the theme editor open. The sections in this topic correspond to the headings in the theme editor.

To open the theme editor, open the Community app and click Community > Theming.

Note: For upgraded customers, you can apply an active Community theme to your power survey in the Details tab in Power Survey Authoring. Your theme type selection will become visible to all participants who have not yet started the survey.

  • Default font sizes:
    • 16px Question Font
    • 14px Answer Font

    You can override the default Question Font settings using the Editing toolbar.

  • Pick a color that matches the header image background. That way, if members are viewing the survey on a screen wider than your header image, the header will still appear contiguous.
  • Alternately, use a transparent image and choose a background color that reflects your branding.
  • For more information about images, see Community theme image specifications.
