Close / Terminate / Deactivate Survey - How to?

I don't want respondents to access the Survey. How to deactivate / close a survey?

To disable access to a survey, go to:

  • Login »  Surveys »  (Select Survey) »  Survey Control »  Security
Change the Current Status to Inactive. Whenever a respondent tries to take the survey, the inactivate message window will be shown.

Note: Closing a survey will only restrict access to the survey. This does not affect data / reporting in any way. To activate the survey again simply set the Current Status to Active.

Can the survey be deactivated automatically on a certain date?

Yes. You can enter the date in the Close Date field in MM/DD/YYYY format or select the date by clicking on the calendar icon. The survey will close exactly at 12:00AM on the set date. So if you set the date as 10/05/2011, Respondents will be able to take the survey till 11:59PM on 10/05/2011.
