Survey Rules

On the survey Rules page you can set the rules for your survey functionality.

When respondent attempts to take survey a second time:

  • Do not allow respondent back into survey Once a respondent submits a survey, this respondent is not allowed to come back to this survey and change any responses. A returning respondent will receive a message thanking him for his participation in the survey.
  • Respondent may return and modify their response The respondent is allowed to come back to the survey and make changes to responses. The old responses will be deleted and replaced with the new ones.
  • Allow multiple responses - only applies to Master URL The number of respondents who can submit their surveys from the same computer is not limited. Please Note that when responding to a survey from the same computer, your respondents must close the browser window after each time they have submitted a survey.

If your 360 survey participant also appears as a survey subject you can suppress such subject from the survey by choosing appropriate radio button. Note This option is available for 3600 surveys only.

  • Do not suppress subject if it is a participant - thus survey participants will be able to rate themselves as subjects.
  • Suppress subject if it is a participant - if survey subject and survey participant is the same person, system will hide subjects from the survey for that particular participant.

Survey Metadata This option is used for internal purposes only. It allows adding metadata to your survey such as survey administrators, etc. Survey metadata is displayed internally when viewing 360 Survey Statistics and Participation Reports for your 360 surveys.
