View saved but not submitted responses

Introduction

The View and saved but not submitted response is displayed if setting participants may save and resume later is enabled.

If enabled, click on Responses and access the list of users that decided to view and save but not submit their response:

Please note that their responses, even though they are marked as not being saved, they are also stored in the response table as being incomplete!

Once loaded, the page looks like this:

The saved response table contains the following columns:

• ID: the ID of the saved but not submitted response. Please note that it is different from the one stored in the response table!

• Actions: two actions can be performed:
  • Edit entry: if clicked, you will be redirected to the entry data page that corresponds to the respective response
  • Delete entry: click on the red trash button to delete the response entry

• Identifier: think of it as the user name the respondent used to save his/her response

• IP address: this field is empty as long as the IP address notifications & data attribute is not enabled (it is disabled by default)

• Date saved: the date when the respondent decided to save his/her response

• Email address: not mandatory to be filled out by your respondents (useful when you work with anonymized responses)! See the next section for more details.

How to save your response and submit it later

The Resume later button is located in the upper-right part of the screen during the completion of the survey by the respondent:

Please note that the Resume later option works only in active surveys.

If the respondent clicks on the respective link, then: the following page is displayed:

The following fields are displayed: name, password, repeat password, and email address. Out of the four fields, only the "email address" does not have to be filled out (it is useful to ensure the anonymity of the user that fills out your survey). But, if it is not filled out, the respondent will not receive any email with the data he filled out on this page (the user name and the password he used to save his response to be accessed later). Therefore, he has to either remember the name and the password he put in the boxes or to save the data locally on his machine.
