Anonymously and Securely Verifying Paper Survey Responses

After collecting survey responses, you may have pending verifications due to low recognition accuracy or handwritten fields. To manage costs, PaperSurvey puts the data verification process in your hands, allowing you to choose who will perform this task. That could be you, your employees, students, or outsourced personnel.

How to Invite Someone to Your Account

You have several options for inviting additional users to your account.

  1. Team member: In Settings › My Team, click Invite User and choose a Role. A Standard User can create, edit and delete surveys and responses; an Operator can print copies, upload documents, verify responses and view and export the data, but cannot create, edit or delete surveys. This suits people you trust with your data.

  2. Verification Operator: Under Verification Operators on the same page, click Invite Operator, enter their email address, choose the surveys in Survey Access, and optionally set an Access Expiration date. They get access to the verification area for those surveys only. This approach is ideal when you want individuals to verify responses without giving them full access to collected data. It also ensures anonymous response verification, as operators can only view question excerpts and, if necessary, open the full page.

Verification Operators do not need to register an account on papersurvey.io. To begin verification, they only need to open an unguessable link sent to their email address.
