Managing delegates

The delegation feature allows a respondent to delegate either all or part of a questionnaire to another user. Each respondent can manage its own delegates and choose which questionnaires, or sections of questionnaires, each delegate should have access to

Delegate a Questionnaire

If a questionnaire’s delegation feature is enabled, each respondent can delegate the whole or part of a questionnaire to its delegates.

By delegating the questionnaire, the respondent’s delegates will be able to access the questionnaire in the same way as the respondent and see all the existing responses.

If they have only been delegated certain sections, they will not have access to the remaining sections; these section’s questions will be marked with a red border.

In the submission page of a questionnaire the respondent will be able to see which user has last edited any of the existing responses, and can therefore monitor progress by delegates.

  2. Click on the ‘Add delegate’ link in the context menu.
  3. Fill in the delegate email, name and preferred language.
