Impact on surveys
Survey participants must provide answers to each mandatory question to complete a survey. When a mandatory question is left unanswered and a survey participant attempts to submit their survey, the participant will see a pop-up that they must answer any outstanding mandatory questions before proceeding. Each unanswered mandatory question will also be highlighted in red.
