Anonymous responses on Office forms: is there any way to have their email or name?
Hi, I have launched a contest for colleagues but all responses came out anonymous (i had incorrectly unselected that option). I need to find out who send each of the responses. Is there any way w...
So close but yet so far! Forms is really good at what it does but seems very limited
I am faced with the same challenge. Respondents wonder why you ask for their email yet you sent them the link via email. Then often when they add an email, it's different from what was used to send out the form. So the responses cannot be used to follow up on a previous action which is why i was conducting the survey in the 1st place.
SWakonyo if they are exrternal users, even though you've sent them the link by email, Forms has no way of knowing that and the lin k is not specific to the respondent which is why you have to ask them for their email address. If Microsoft was to changethe format of the link so that it was specific to the person it was sent to - by somehow incorporating the email address - then that would solve your issue and be a big step forward.
