The script accepts options as part of its form data: general customizations such as system name, administrator email, ... customizations to the rating scale such as number of points, labels, ... number of open-ended positive/negative comments requested The script uses these options to present the questionnaire on the Web, gather ratings, general comments, and question-specific comments, and email the results to the designated survey administrator.
