Follow invitations and read the answers

See every questionnaire you have sent, filter by status, and open one to read the answers, the signature and any files.

Checked against the screens:

Every organisation can choose its own words for the people and roles it works with. When you are signed in, this guide uses your organisation’s words. Otherwise it uses the product’s own.

This is for managers and admins. It lists the 200 most recent invitations. What you see also follows your own access.

Steps

  1. Open Questionnaires, then the Responses tab. The page is called Invitations.
  2. Use the filters to pick a status: All, Pending, Opened, Submitted, Expired or Revoked.
  3. Read each row: the template, the recipient, the young person, the status and when it was sent and expires.
  4. Press a row to open the invitation. A window shows its delivery history and answers.
  5. Open the full page to read the Response. Each answer sits under its question.
  6. Download any attached PDF or file from the answer. Come back to the list to open the next one.

If it goes wrong

  • If an invitation is still Pending after a few days, the link may not have reached them. Copy the link from the invitation and send it another way.
  • If an invitation is Expired, send a new one. The old link no longer works.
  • If a file says it was removed by the safety scan, it was blocked and cannot be opened.

What the statuses mean

  • Pending: sent, not yet opened.
  • Opened: the link was opened, but the form is not finished.
  • Submitted: the form was completed. Its answers are available.
  • Expired: the link ran out before the form was finished.
  • Revoked: the invitation was cancelled, and a reason may be shown.

Parent feedback responses

A link from the Parent feedback tab opens this list already filtered to the parent form, headed Parent feedback responses. Clear the filter to see everything.

Reading one invitation

The page shows the recipient, the young person it is about, any region, the template version, and when it was sent, opened and submitted. The template version tells you which wording they answered, even if the form has since changed.

Answers, signatures and files

Each answer shows with its question number and type. An unanswered question says so. A signature shows the typed name, the statement agreed to and the time. Images and audio show in place. PDFs and other files can be downloaded.

Files and the safety scan

Uploaded files are scanned before they are shown. While the scan runs, you see that it is in progress. A file that fails the scan shows Removed by safety scan and is never available.

Privacy

Answers can contain personal and sensitive detail. Only open what you need, and follow your safeguarding process if an answer raises a concern.

How it links together

Where answers go nextEach answer feeds more than one screen.
  1. InvitationSent
  2. OpenedLink used
  3. SubmittedAnswers saved
  4. InsightsCounted in scores

A submitted answer belongs to the invitation, the child it is about and the form version. It counts in insights and in the form's own results. Files are scanned before anyone can open them. Worries found in answers should go through your normal process.

Questions people ask

How many invitations are listed?

The 200 most recent in the view you chose. Use the status filters to narrow the list.

How do I see answers?

Open a Submitted invitation. Its page shows each question with the answer under it.

Why is there no answer to read?

The invitation is not Submitted yet. It is still Pending or Opened, or it Expired.

Why does a file say Removed by safety scan?

The scan found a problem with it, so it was blocked. It cannot be opened.

Can I resend an expired invitation?

Send a new one from the Overview tab. The old link no longer works.

How do I know which version of the form they answered?

The invitation page shows the template version. Open Versions in the editor to compare.
