Should my survey be confidential or attributed?
Confidential Engagement Surveys
The recommended confidentiality setting for engagement surveys.
The Confidential option strictly protects the identity of survey participants. No one from your organization will be granted access to raw survey results that would attribute survey responses to survey participants.
To further protect participant confidentiality, a minimum response threshold is in place. This prevents individuals from being identified in the analytics via slicing and filtering the results unless the minimum response count is met.

Confidentiality Messaging in Surveys

Attributed, Not Confidential Engagement Surveys
Non-confidential surveys are typically not recommended for engagement surveys.
The Not Confidential option ties survey participants directly to their responses and comments by name within the survey's analytics.
