Choose a report type to display question statistics, question details, user statistics, attempt details, or user attempts. You can also select a release date and choose which roles have permission to view each report.

Anonymous participation in a survey
If a survey is anonymous, your user data is hidden in survey results. The responses to survey questions are available for all users, but the system does not report who made which response.
While learners are taking an anonymous survey, an alert appears at the top of the survey indicating that the survey is anonymous and their user information will not be tied to their responses.
Note: You cannot associate anonymous survey activities with learning objectives.
Ensure anonymous survey participation
- Navigate to Surveys.
- On the Manage Surveys page, click the survey name.
- In the General area, select the make results anonymous check box.
You have set anonymous survey participation.
