Anonymous responses on Office forms: is there any way to have their email or name?
Hi John Heck
Hopefully I understand right. The only ways I can think of to do this is to:
1. Set the form to Anonymous and put a field in for Provide your name so that users can choose to put their name in or not. You may even use branching using a Choice question to provide their name where Yes will show a name field and No will skip to the next relevant question.
2. Set your form to Only people in my organization can respond and tick Record name to capture the field (only available for people in your tenancy and does not allow for anonymous).
If you want the option to leave a name or to be anonymous, then go with option 1.
Let me know if I've misunderstood and I can clarify?
Cheers

Thank you for some really helpful answers.
I want a form I can share with our volunteers, i.e. they don't have an organisational email account but they do want to help us.
I want to capture who completes the form without forcing them to type in their email again and without risking them typing their address wrong.
But it seems if I make the form available to people outside the organisation I lose the option to automatically capture who they are.
I understand with data compliance we can't force people to provide an email. But these are people who we already have their email address, or we wouldn't have been able to send them the link to complete the form.
Can you see any way around this?
Thank you.
