# Anonymous survey: what nobody sees

> In Weplanify, an anonymous survey shows nobody who answered: no name or time in the answers or the export, and small groups are hidden from the results.

In Weplanify, a survey with **Anonymous answers** tells nobody who answered, not even administrators. Employees know it: a banner says so at the top of the survey.

## Steps

1. Before the first answer, turn on **Anonymous answers** in the form settings ([create a survey](https://weplanify.io/docs/formulaires.sondages-quiz.sondage?lang=en)).
2. In the **Responses** tab, each row is called **Anonymous answer** and only keeps the day it was sent: no name, job, site or time, and no search by name. A response's detail, its PDF and the Excel **Export** follow the same rule.
3. In the **Participation** tab, only numbers show; **Remind the … who have not answered** reaches the right people without you knowing who.
4. In **Results**, a site, a group, a period or a manager's team with fewer than 5 answers is hidden "to keep answers anonymous"; a row of the trend can also show **hidden**.

## Good to know

- A manager only sees the **Results** tab, for their team, never an answer line by line.
- Anonymity can no longer change once the first answer is in.
- A quiz cannot be anonymous: its purpose is to follow each person's score ([scores of a quiz](https://weplanify.io/docs/formulaires.sondages-quiz.scores?lang=en)).
- On a survey that comes back every month, the number of answers of the month is visible, but never who answered.
