Setting up the identity choice for anonymous forms

Until now, an anonymous form was always completely anonymous. As an organisation admin, you can now turn on an option that lets the respondent decide whether the submission stays anonymous or is submitted with their name and profile. This is useful when some employees prefer to be recognisable, for example because it allows you to follow up on their report or idea.

The default setting remains anonymous. If you don’t turn the option on, nothing changes for your form or your employees.

When filling in the form, the employee chooses between two options:

Existing anonymous forms remain completely anonymous until you turn the option on. You don’t need to change anything to keep your employees’ responses anonymous.

Once you have turned the option on, the list of submissions shows anonymous and identifiable submissions side by side. This gives you all responses in one place, while it stays clear which submissions are anonymous.

Filters, including community and function group, are available again for forms with this option. They only apply to submissions where the respondent has shared their identity. Anonymous submissions stay anonymous and fall outside these filters.

Keep this in mind when you compare results per community or function group: you will only see the identifiable submissions.
