Forms suggestion for anonymous poll

Anonymous poll is a very common scenario we have in our school(and I believe it is for every school), but currently we can't use Forms to do it because in Forms anonymity means: 1. You can't limit wh...

Hi Henry, If you click on the "Send" button, at the bottom of the "Send" panel, we have a setting area. You could select "Only people in my organization", and uncheck "Record the names of responders". Then only teachers & students in your school could vote for it, and also we won't record their names. You could also click "See all settings", after check option "allow only one response per person" could limit the response. I hope that could help you finish your school voting.

    Hi Zhongzhong, thank you for your response. I know that setting, but once you uncheck "Record the names of responders", the option to limit one response per user is gone too. That's not going to help in a voting scenario where you certainly want only one vote per user. Or is it a bug that's only affecting me?

     

    And by saying "limit who can vote", I mean we should be able to limit voters to a specific group, e.g. students from grade 9. You can't accomplish this now can you?

      Any solution?, another issue is the question limit, 10 per question and there is a limit per survey base on each question.

      Hi Henry,

      You're right.
      If you cancel the "Record the names of responders", the option to limit the response will be disabled. I will check with the team to see if we could improve it.

      For "limit the people in a specific group", it is in our backlog.
      BTW, could you help me know that how frequent do you have voting within a group in school? Is there any tool / product you are using now?

        Hello Zhongzhong,

        I am also having troubling finding a poll that is anonymous and limits one vote per person. Have you contacted your team about this issue? Was there any improvement?
