SurveyMonkey Help

To view individual survey responses:

  1. Go to the Analyze Results section of your survey.
  2. Click the Individual Responses tab toward the top of the page.
  3. Use the left and right arrows to browse responses. See additional actions and keyboard shortcuts at the end of this page.

At the top of each individual response, you'll see the following respondent metadata:

Metadata
Description
CompletenessThe response status: Complete, Partial, Disqualified, or Over Quota.
CollectorThe collector nickname and type.
Start Date & TimeThe time the respondent accessed the survey by clicking the survey link. When browsing responses or viewing exported data, this is determined by the timezone of your computer or device.
Last ModifiedThe time the respondent clicked Next or Done, or the respondent's most recent activity if you allow Response Editing.
Time SpentThe difference between the Started and Last Modified times.
IP AddressRecorded if Anonymous Responses is turned off.
LanguageRecorded if you sent a multilingual survey.
Email AddressRecorded if you sent your survey via Email Invitation and have Anonymous Responses turned off.
First & Last NameRecorded if you sent your survey via Email Invitation or Text Message collectors, included this custom data, and have Anonymous Responses turned off.
Custom Data 1Recorded if you sent your survey via Email Invitation or Text Message collectors, included this custom data, and have Anonymous Responses turned "off, include all respondent information" or "on, only exclude personal information".

Your exported data displays a Respondent ID. This number is unique to the response, not to the respondent. Each new response is assigned a unique number. 

You can filter your survey results by respondent metadata. When creating the filter, you can use different symbols in some search fields to help you find the responses you're looking for. It isn't possible to use symbols to search the email address or IP address fields.
