To choose an Access Level
The Respondent Access Level section of the Survey Options page provides nine options for controlling access to your survey. These nine options can be grouped according to whether you will allow multiple responses, require a login, etc. Options requiring a login limit your respondents to UW-Eau Claire faculty, staff and students.
Ask yourself the following questions regarding your survey.
- Will you allow respondents to respond more than once to your survey?
- Will you allow respondents to be anonymous?
- Do you want to restrict responses to only UW-Eau Claire campus members?
- Will you allow respondents to update/edit their responses?
- Do you want to manually enter results from printed surveys?
Use your answers to the above questions and the table below to find the option best suited to your survey. Each row of the table corresponds to an access level. The three columns on the right reflect the conditions of your survey under each level.
