Quick Win: Anonymous Questionnaires

We’ve had a few requests for anonymous respondables. Such a feature never occurred to me, probably because our chapter always wanted to conduct official votes during meetings (which is essentially the main reason you’d want anonymous submissions). However, now that we have a few groups approaching the 150 member mark, I can see how counting votes in a meeting could be time-consuming.

This didn’t sound too difficult, so I decided to tackle the idea one afternoon last week. You’ll now see two new options: “anonymous and hidden” and “anonymous, but publish the answers”. Choosing either option will remove names from all responses, and the second choice will allow all members to see what others have said. Careful though – once you mark a respondable as anonymous, you cannot change it back!

While I was making updates, I also added an option to reassign the owner of a respondable. This brings the permissions system more in line with that of e-mail lists and statistics. By reassigning a respondable, you give access to a different member for viewing responses. You can even reassign a respondable to a member who would otherwise not have permission to create one.

Now that GoZuus is launched, we hope to make small improvements like this on a weekly basis. If you’ve got an idea for a quick change that would make your life easier, please let us know! Tweet your idea to @gozuus, or post it on our Facebook page!
