Important Notes About Editing Responses
  • If your survey has "looping" - there will be multiple responses generated for the same questions - YOU CANNOT USE THE RESPONSE EDITOR if your survey has complex looping logic or extraction.
  • Rank Order and Constant Sum Validation : When editing responses directly, the system DOES NOT VALIDATE any of the validation options.
  • Branching Logic / Skip Logic : None of the Branching Logic or Skip Patters are applied when editing responses directly. If you have branching/skip logic, please make sure that you do not enter in data that cannot be validated or is inconsistent with the branching logic that you have setup.

What other options are available?

  • Spotlight Report: This will give you the comparision of the individual response with the aggregate responses for the Survey
  • Mail: Click on the Mail link to email this individual response
  • Print: Click on the Print link to print this individual response
