Creating custom views on Survey in Sharepoint

For other lists within sharepoint we have an option of
creating our own custom views.

(Settings-CreateView).

However we have no such option in case of Survey. To create
our own custom view in case of survey we can do the following

First get the id of your survey. For this select view source
of the following page

http://servername:12345/Lists/DemoSurvey/overview.aspx
of your survey.

You can get the id of the survey at following line

href=”/_layouts/listfeed.aspx?List=545889cc%2D1be0%2D463d%2Dbaa2%2D6dbec360ba68″

The id of the survey list is – 545889cc%2D1be0%2D463d%2Dbaa2%2D6dbec360ba68

Or

545889cc-1be0-463d-baa2-6dbec360ba68

%2D is equal to -

Now we need the url where in we
will use the above list id for creating custom view

For this create a simple IssueTracking
list or any other list for which we have an option of creating custom view.

Now select setting–>create
view for that newly created list

Copy the url

http://servername:12345/_layouts/ViewType.aspx?List==%7B59C5C613%2D11FB%2D44D8%2DB29E%2DC973006C062A%7D&

Source=http%3A%2F%2Fd%2D1246%3A12345%2FLists%2FDemo%2520tasks%2FAllItems%2Easpx

Get this much part of the url

http://servername:12345/_layouts/ViewType.aspx?List==%7B59C5C613%2D11FB%2D44D8%2DB29E%2DC973006C062A%7D

%7B is equal to {

%7D is equal to }

Modify it in the following manner

http://servername:12345/_layouts/ViewType.aspx?List={545889cc%2D1be0%2D463d%2Dbaa2%2D6dbec360ba68}

or 

http:// servername:12345:12345/_layouts/ViewType.aspx?List={545889cc-1be0-463d%2Dbaa2-6dbec360ba68}

i.e replace the list id.

Now you should be able to create your own custom views on surveys.
