Is there a way that we can track participant names when they enter their answers in polls?

 

Thanks.

Hey, Niles, thanks for your question! 

One way to do this is to require a name for your slido. This makes it so that every participant must submit their name when joining your slido. You can learn more in this guide.

And if you’re using any paid plan, you can also export your poll results which will include the names next to each poll response. Check our our exports guide for more details.


Lastly if you’re using a Professional or higher plan, you’ll be able to customize your Participant Privacy settings. This allows you to decide whether or not participants can submit anonymous responses.


I hope that helps!

May I ask if there is any function that helps me to see the poll responses and know which participants submitted them?

Hi, @Kelvin(DVG) 

If you’d like to see how people voted, you’ll need to ask your audience for their names first. After the voting, you’ll be able to find the results in Exports. However, exports are only available in our paid plans. 

Is that what you were looking for? Or did you want to see the names with their poll answers some other way? 


Feel free to add some details, I’d be happy to help. 

Best,

Hey @PMathekar,

This is an available option for open text polls and you can enable it in the poll settings. If you’d like this for a different poll type, please let us know more details about your use case.

 

Thanks!

I just want to say that identifying names of poll participants live for more polls would be really valuable to us.

Hey @Darren M ,

Thanks for sharing. As mentioned before, this is currently available for open text polls. If you’d want this in more poll types, would you mind submitting the idea to our Wishlist? And could you share how you’d expect it to work for the other poll types? That will help us and our Product teams understand better what problem you are trying to solve 👍

 

Best,
