Anonymous responses on Office forms: is there any way to have their email or name?
How would the person responding to the survey know if their name/email will be captured?
That option is only available when "Only people in my organisation can respond" in the settings is enabled and "Record name" is selected. Then they have to sign in to access the form, unlike an Anonymous form, though I don't think there is a visual clue saying exactly, record name is enabled.
- What if individuals are not within your organization but you need to have them complete a certification test to work in your system? I need to know who is completing the Forms questionnaire. Please help. Thanks.
Robin_Manning then you will need mandatory questions asking the respondent for their name, company and email address.

If we are going to have to ask the respondent to complete their name and email address, where is the form field that is validated for an email address? There isn't one as far as I can see. The "restrictions" option is a joke.
Obviously if you are receiving forms from outside the business for any business process (recruitment, contract management, operational data, etc) we need to know who it came from. That's just basic compliance. And we also need respondents to attach additional documents (which apparently is only available for domain users).
365 Forms is really a toy at this stage of its development. MS needs to lift their game.
I agree with you on everything except the last bit as it does warn you with a message above the first question when you enable Record name in the settings:
"Hi <name>, when you submit this form, the owner will be able to see your name and email address.

Damien_Rosario can we edit this text "Hi <>, when you submit this form, the owner will be able to see your name and email address." I don't want to hide it since i am using the users credentials in my flow.
Ben13 no you can't hide it or change it.

Thanks for the clarification, that's good to know.
In saying the above Cian Allner, it's small text and easy to miss. I hope Microsoft make it bigger and easier to see or I reckon a lot of people will miss reading it.
