Survey batches are used to control when your survey is open |
{% hint style="success" %} In order for a survey to be active, it must be part of an active batch. This means the batch must have a 'from' date which is in the past and a 'to' date which is in the future or left blank {% endhint %}
- Batches provide a way to control when your survey is active by setting a 'from' and 'to' date. Respondents clicking on a survey link outside of these date will be informed that the survey is closed.
