It’s possible for project members to add responses to a survey (data space) anytime, even after it has closed. This can be done by completing the survey on behalf of a respondent, provided you have the Project Editor role. Learn more about roles and permissions in Roles and permissions. Note: For all offline and post-closing date responses a project member will need to take the survey on behalf of the respondent. This process is done via the Build tab. Tip: If a respondent has requested a late submission, ensure they have provided responses to all “required” questions in their submission; otherwise, you will not be able to progress through the survey.

​
How to access the survey post-closing date

Projects and surveys (data spaces) can be accessed anytime regardless of their current status (open or closed) if you are a project member:
  • Log in to your Converlens account
  • Select the Project from the Projects list, or
  • Enter the URL for the project
For example:
  • app.converlens.com/yourworkspace/projectname/admin/explore

​
Completing the Survey for Offline or Late Responses

Make sure you’re logged into Converlens, as you’ll need access to the project’s backend to submit the response. Follow these steps to complete the survey on behalf of a respondent:

​
1. Open the Build Tab

Go to the Build tab from the Project Bar:

​
2. Select the Survey (Data Space)

Click the dropdown to load the survey (data space) you want to complete. If the project only has one survey skip this step.

​
3. Take the survey

In the survey preview window on the Build view, click through each survey question and complete the responses on behalf of the user. Be sure to answer all required questions to progress through the survey. Tip: Ensure the survey is not in “Preview mode” in order for the submission to be sent and received as a result. Read more about Preview mode here.

​
4. Submit the Survey

Once all questions are completed, navigate to the end of the survey and click Submit. The response will be submitted and you will be able to view it in the Explore tab list of Results.

​
5. Edit If Needed

Don’t worry if you make a mistake! You can edit the response later using the Submission Reader in the Explore tab.
