Add Views to survey list

SharePoint handles Survey list little differently than the custom list or document library. So the new views cannot be crated on survey as on Custom list.

To achieve this follow these steps:

1. Get the GUID Url of the list on which you have created view.
   Easiest way to do so is 
Go to Site Action -> Site Settings 
Under Site Administration tab , Select Site library and lists
Select Customize “Your List name”
Notice in address bar you will get URL something like
http://WebapplicationName/sites/SitecollectionName/_layouts/SurvEdit.aspx?List={825760CD-090B-411F-805A-0C4796B50081}

a.       Yellow Highlighted part show GUID of your list
b.      Green Highlighted part shows type of list
2. Update URL
c.       Update “SurvEdit.aspx” with “ViewType.aspx
d.      Remove  {} from GUID
e.      Url should look like

3. Past this new url in address bar , this will give view creation interface as we usually get for custom list or document library.
