Survey Archival & Management Enhancements
π Engagement
This update introduces Survey Archival, giving you better control over the survey lifecycle while ensuring cleaner workflows and preventing unintended participation in inactive surveys.
Whatβs New?
- Archive and unarchive surveys directly from the survey actions menu.
- Archived surveys are moved out of the active workflow.
- New tab-based view (Active & Archived) for improved organization.
- Easily access via the 3-dot menu next to the Create Survey button.
Archiving a Survey: When a survey is archived:
- It cannot be opened or edited.
- Participants cannot take the survey.
- Any in-progress responses are immediately stopped.
- All associated notifications and homepage actions are removed.
This ensures archived surveys are fully inactive and do not impact ongoing processes.
Unarchiving a Survey: When a survey is unarchived:
- It returns to its previous state (Draft / Scheduled / Live).
Additional behaviors:
For Live Surveys:
- Notifications are not automatically re-triggered.
- Manually send reminders from the Notifications tab.
For Scheduled Surveys:
- If the scheduled time has already passed β cannot resume automatically.
You can:
- Cancel the schedule.
- Manually relaunch the survey.
Important Notes:
- Archiving is enforced across all survey stages.
- In-progress responses are invalidated immediately upon archival.
- Prevents unintended data collection and ensures consistency.
