# What methods are available for survey distribution?

We understand that not all employees have regular access to computers, especially in industries with field workers or non-desk jobs. We have several methods to ensure all employees can participate in the survey:

1. **PIN Survey**:
   * Each employee can access the same link using a PIN that identifies them. The PIN will also store any demographic data you wish to collect from the respondents so they do not need to self-identify.
2. **Kiosk Setup**:
   * You can set up dedicated kiosks or stations with laptops or tablets at your workplace.
   * Employees can use these to complete the survey during designated times.
3. **Paper Surveys**:
   * While less common now, we still offer paper surveys as an option.
   * However, we recommend this as a last resort due to potential issues with delayed returns and confidentiality.
4. **Mobile/SMS Access**:
   * We can send unique IDs or links via text message for employees to complete the survey on their smartphones.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.talentmap.com/knowledge-base/step-3-pre-survey-communication-and-setup/pre-survey-faq/what-methods-are-available-for-survey-distribution.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
