Exclude questions from results, send only scores


Hi,

I just built my first Typeform, a research form with grouped yes/no answers and aditionally a text field for name/initials/reference.
I created question groups with each its own numeric score and assigned an “adding 1” logic for every yes-answer wthin the question group.

Now, what I would like to achieve, is receiving in the results only the sum of the scores of each question group. I don’t want to know the specific answers (due to privacy - sensitive information issue), just the sum of each question group.

I found that in the results in my account it is possible to disable/hide the specific questions (but they still are there and accessible). Worse, in the notifications/follow up, I receive all specific answers in the e-mails’ body.

Is it possible to (optionally) exclude the specific answers from sending the form, or (if the calculation only happens at sending) at least to exclude the specific answers from entering in the results in both my account and the notification by e-mail?
If not, it would be awesome to take up this feature in further development.

Thanks a lot in advance. :)

@misspixelbcn - in the notifications email that you are sending to yourself, you have the ability to define what is being shown in the email - you don’t have to have all fields, you can simply edit the email to include something like this: 

score 1 - @score1

score 2 - @score2

 

where the recall function is used to bring only the information that you want in the email body. 

just a thought

Hi @misspixelbcn Happy Little Fri-yay! I hope you’re doing well. I’m afraid it isn’t possible to exclude answers that have been submitted from your results. Though, you could export the results to another platform, such as Google Sheets, and adjust the results according to how you’d like to view them.

Thanks Liz, for your quick reply. It’s a pity this isn’t possible, the only reason is to protect the participant’s privacy, which I think is an important issue these days.
I hope Typeform will consider this feature in a nearby future’s development.
Thanks again, cheers!

Fabulous, thanks for adding your suggestion, @john.desborough 
I found it in Notifications, and although it is not exactly what I am looking for, at least I feel a little less uncomfortable by not seeing the sensitive information directly in the e-mail’s body.
