How do I collect responses when offline?

The offline survey feature in Zoho Survey allows you to access your survey from a device when you don't have internet connectivity. For instance, if you want to collect survey responses from trade show participants in a remote location, you can administer an offline survey to the participants during the show and then upload the responses later when you connect to the internet. 

To enable the offline feature in your survey:

1. Click the Launch tab.
   
2. Click  Offline on the left pane and select  Get Started .
   
3. Enter a password in the Password field. This is used to access the admin console, where you can view and upload your offline responses. You can choose to enable kiosk mode, where you can load the same survey multiple times on the same device for different people to answer.
   
4. Click the toggle button to enable kiosk mode.
   
5. Enter the survey exit and restart time.
   
6. Select the restart page.
   
   
   
7. Click the toggle button to auto upload your offline responses once you are connected to the internet.
   
8. Once you're done with the settings for your offline survey, click  Save . A unique offline survey link will be generated.
   
1. To copy the link, click the URL in the box.
   
2. Paste the link into a new tab as a URL.
   
9. To start recording responses, click  Take Survey . You will be taken to the survey, where you or a respondent can complete it.
   
10. If you've enabled the Kiosk mode , once the survey is completed, it will reload to a fresh survey. You can keep repeating this process multiple times. 
    

Note: Since the offline responses are stored in the browser cache, don't clear your cache before uploading your responses.
