🖥️ Can I answer forms from the Web Platform?

Yes. If you have a DataScope account, you can also answer forms directly from the Web Platform, in addition to managing the account, creating and configuring forms, managing users, and checking recorded answers and data.

Recommended browser: Google Chrome version 76 or higher.

It's also possible for other people, even without a DataScope account, to answer certain forms from a web browser through a public link.

This option can be useful when you want to share a form so someone outside your account can complete it from their browser, with no need to install the app or log in.

See the following article to learn how to set this up: How do I generate a public link to share and answer your forms from the Web?

📌 Recommendation

If you have performance issues while using the app, check that your device meets the minimum requirements and close any apps you're not using.
