Navigate to the page that will be the parent of the new page. See Parent and child pages if you are unsure what this means.
Mouse over the +Childpage button and select Survey from the list of page types. If you do not see the +Childpage button you may have insufficient user rights to add pages: speak to your system administrator.
Complete the Page Summary and the General Properties sections of the page.
Click Save.

Response Error Header Message: the text you type here is displayed at the top of any error message that gets triggered after a user attempts to submit their completed application.
Include a CAPTCHA: A CAPTCHA is a visual test used on a form to determine whether the user is human. A CAPTCHA box displays distorted characters that only a human being can read. The user must read the distorted text and type what they see into the CAPTCHA text box. This helps verify that the user is human and not a computer sending spam.
Check this option to include a CAPTCHA box that the user must respond to.
Display CAPTCHA for: This field is only displayed if you check the Include a CAPTCHA checkbox. Select whether you want to force all users or only anonymous users to complete the CAPTCHA.
CAPTCHA introduction text: this is the text that tells the user what to do (e.g. "Please enter the characters you see in the picture:").
CAPTCHA error text: The text you enter here is displayed when a user types the incorrect code into the CAPTCHA text box (e.g. "The code you entered does not match the image, please re-enter").
CAPTCHA sound icon: If users are unable to read the distorted text, they can click the sound icon in the CAPTCHA box to have the characters read out loud. They can then type in what they hear instead of having to read the characters.
The default icon displayed is the speaker icon. You can select the system accessibility icon (the wheelchair) or you can select the Custom Icon option and click on the <<Select Digital Asset>> link to select your own icon.
Email Response in: Select whether you wish to email the response in HTML format or in Plain Text format.
