At one point I saw a way to update responses for others to our open survey for our upcoming reunion, but now for the life of me cant find it! Can someone help?

Go to Survey Maker. Select Stats next to the survey of interest. Toward the bottom of the page click on Show/Hide Members who have responded to survey. You'll then have an edit option next to the name of each person.

trying to read up on Survey maker. Is there a way that when an attendee answers a survey and submits it, that it would be anonymous? Therefore, running the report no name would be visible.

Terry,

No, each survey response is tied to the classmate that answered it. If you want anonymous answers you can use the Home Page "Poll" feature, but polls are usually considered for entertainment value only.

A poll and a survey and BOTH serve the same purpose - gather opinion information. For example, the Gallup Poll is NOT for entertainment, although for some it might be Cool

Fine, you win, Jack. HOME PAGE POLLS are usually for entertainment purposes.

It's whatever one wants it to be Kyle. Don't know the questions, but sounds like a poll would do exactly what is desired.

It's not about winning but solving a goal Idea

FWIW here's a definition of POLL

Quote:

a sampling or collection of opinions on a subject, taken from either a selected or a random group of persons, as for the purpose of analysis

FAQs : http://www.classcreator.com/faqs.cfm#buildsite Question 12: What's the difference between a Poll and a Survey?

Answer: Here's an explanation:

Poll: The Poll embeds right into your home page and is often used as an entertainment feature. Polls can only have multiple choice answers. Each Classmate can only vote once, and after voting Classmates see the Live Poll Results in a graphical pie chart format (pie chart will not appear until 2 or more Classmates have selected 2 or more answers). To create a Poll click on Edit Site Pages from your Administration Area, then click the Edit button next to "Home Page". Finally click on "Manage Poll" and then follow the instructions.

Survey: The Survey module allows you to create sophisticated surveys with simple point and click functionality. Surveys are usually used for collecting necessary information, such as information to assist you in planning a Class Reunion. The sky's the limit on the types of surveys you can design and the questions you can ask. You can even put more than one survey live at a time. Classmates must log in to vote, and each Classmate can only vote once. Surveys have their own visibility permission settings, allowing you to decide if Classmates see the results of a survey, or if the survey results stay hidden and only available to you, the Site Administrator.

Well, that's the CC explanation but obviously not what the world in general considers a poll to be. Nor does that really say it's for entertainment only ("often used"). Heck a Survey is for entertainment too Idea

Site a link that is NOT from CC since that's just what somebody thought of at the time - but not really accurate.

It's all about solving a question. The intent is up to the user in ALL cases.
