What these two rows show

Below the response-rate hero and the Explore tiles on the Forms page sit two tile rows that answer two different questions. Most recent answers "what have I asked lately, and who's replying?" It is a rolling log of the last surveys, audits, and reviews you have created, sent, or closed. Upcoming · next 30 days answers "what's about to fire again on its own?" It is a forward-looking list of every recurring series due to go out again inside the next 30 days. One row looks back, the other looks forward, and tapping a tile in either one drops you straight into that survey's own detail, not just the tab it lives on.

Nothing in either row is a peer benchmark. Both are built entirely from your own account: the surveys, audits, and reviews you have created, and who you asked to answer them.

Where to find them

Open Surveys from the sidebar, at iq.verinode.ai/surveys. The page header reads Forms, with three tab pills across the top: Surveys, Audits, and Reviews. Surveys is the default tab and the one this article covers; Audits and Reviews are separate record types built on the exact same page shell, so their own Most recent and Upcoming rows work identically once you have audits or reviews to show. See Forms: surveys, audits, and reviews for how the three tabs relate.

Scrolling down the Surveys tab, the rows run in this order:

  1. The response-rate hero panel (see Reading the Forms hero)
  2. From your network, only visible when your HQ group has pushed you something to answer (see Surveys from your network)
  3. Explore, four metric tiles: Active, Responses, Templates, Closed (see The Explore tiles)
  4. Upcoming · next 30 days
  5. Most recent

This article covers rows 4 and 5.

Note

Both rows are read-only summaries. You cannot edit a survey, pause a recurrence, or close a survey from the tile itself, you tap through to the survey's detail and act from there.

The "Most recent" row

This row shows up to eight of your latest survey records, ordered by when each one was created (newest first), regardless of whether it is a draft, currently collecting responses, or already closed.

Reading a tile

Each tile carries:

  • Accent color and label, both driven by the survey's type. Tool surveys are teal, Process is violet, Supply is amber, and everything else, Vendor, Carrier, TPA, and the team pulses (Team, Team Pulse, Work Style), is copper. The label above the headline names the type in plain words (for example "Vendor" or "Team Pulse"), never the raw database type.
  • Headline, the survey's title, exactly as you wrote it when you built it.
  • Subtitle, normally the subject you asked about (a vendor name, a tool, a person). If the survey is a Quick Survey (a one-question, fast-path ask, see Quick Survey), the subtitle shows the actual question you sent instead of the subject name.
  • Lightning badge, a small amber "LIGHTNING" pill in the corner, shown only on Quick Surveys. It is a quick visual flag that this was a single-question ask rather than a full multi-question survey.
  • Status, shown at the start of the meta line: Draft, Active, or Closed.
  • Reply rate, shown next to status only when the survey has at least one invitee. It reads as a percentage, for example "62% replied," colored green once it clears 60%, plain text between 30% and 60%, and muted below 30%. A survey with zero invitees (a draft you haven't sent, for instance) shows no reply rate at all, just its status and age.
  • Time ago, the last thing on the meta line: how long since the survey was sent, or if it was never marked sent, how long since it closed, or as a last resort, how long since it was created. This is why a tile's age doesn't always match the row's creation-based ordering, the tile position reflects when the record was made, the time-ago text reflects its own most meaningful date.

Tapping a tile

Clicking a Most recent tile opens the Forms slider directly on that survey's own detail. If the survey is already closed, it opens on the Closed tab; otherwise it opens on the Active tab (drafts included). Either way you land inside the specific survey's results, not a generic tab list, see Active and Closed survey lists and Survey detail and results for what you'll find once you're in.

Empty state

If you have never sent or drafted a survey, the row reads:

"Recently asked surveys appear here as you send them. Use a template from the Templates tile or click "+ Add Survey" to ask your first question."

The "Upcoming · next 30 days" row

This row lists every recurring survey series whose next scheduled fire falls within the next 30 days. A "series" here means a parent survey with a recurrence cadence attached, not the individual instances the cadence has already sent out, those live in Most recent and in the Active/Closed lists once they go out. Setting a survey up to repeat in the first place is covered in Recurring surveys and scheduling; this row is where you watch what's already on the calendar.

Reading a tile

Each tile carries:

  • Accent color, the same type-based color as Most recent tiles (teal for Tool, violet for Process, amber for Supply, copper for everything else).
  • Label, either Recurring or Paused. Paused means you have switched the series off, and it still shows up here because its stored next-fire date still falls in the 30-day window, but no invites will actually go out on that date until you turn it back on.
  • Headline, a big date readout for when it next fires: Today if the date has arrived or passed, Tomorrow for the day after, In Nd for anything within a week (for example "In 4d"), and a plain month-and-day (for example "Aug 3") beyond that.
  • Meta line, the cadence name and how many people are wired to receive it, for example "Quarterly · 3 invitees" or "Monthly · 1 invitee." The invitee count is how many people are set up on the recurring series, not how many have replied, response counts live on the survey's own detail once an instance actually sends.
  • Preview text, the survey's title and, underneath it, the subject it asks about, if one is set.

The six cadences you'll see are Weekly, Every 2 weeks, Monthly, Quarterly, Every 6 months, and Annually.

Tip

Quarterly, semi-annual, and annual cadences use calendar-month math, not a fixed day count. A quarterly series anchored on March 31 fires on June 30, the last day of the target month, rather than sliding into July. Weekly, biweekly, and monthly cadences add days or a calendar month directly, so they land on the same weekday or day-of-month each time.

Tapping a tile

Clicking an Upcoming tile always opens the Forms slider on the Active tab with that series' own detail pre-opened, whether the tile reads Recurring or Paused. That's the fastest way to check who's on the invitee list, adjust the cadence, or pause a series that's about to fire when you didn't mean it to.

Empty state

If you have no recurring surveys configured, the row reads:

"No surveys scheduled to repeat. Toggle "Run on a schedule" when you build a survey to see quarterly tool checks, monthly vendor pulses, and annual reviews land here automatically."

What actually happens when a recurring survey fires

A daily process checks every active recurring series against its stored next-fire date. When a series is due, Verinode clones a fresh, active instance carrying the same questions and subject, sends invites to the frozen list of invitees you set when you built the recurrence, and then rolls the parent's next-fire date forward by one cadence. That new instance is what shows up next in Most recent and in the Active list, the parent series itself stays in Upcoming with its date now pushed further out. Nothing here decides who to ask or what to ask, that's fixed the moment you set the recurrence up; the schedule only decides when.

Best-practice example

Say your Upcoming row shows a Quarterly tile labeled "Recurring" reading "In 6d," for a tool-satisfaction check on your estimating software, 4 invitees. That tells you: in six days, the same four teammates who rated that tool last quarter will get the same questions again, automatically, no action needed from you. Below it, your Most recent row shows a Tool tile from last quarter's run at "72% replied" in green, so you already know the response rate this new wave is up against. If you'd rather ask a fifth teammate this time, or swap in a new question, tap the Upcoming tile now and edit the series before it fires, not after.
