The key requirements of the system will be :

1) Peers will be sent feedback requests via SM forms, where they will submit feedback on pre identified peers. however feedback providers may not have SM liscenses or accounts . A) Can folks without SM accounts submit forms? B) how to set up my sheet to ensure that that feedback providers are mapped to pre identified individuals that are relevant to the feedback provider?

2) Feedback needs to be anonymous once submitted (ideally even the sheet owner and admin): is this possible to do?

3) Individuals will have access to a report with their own peer feedback summary (anonymous) . they cannot see data on any other employees: How to set up the solution so that individuals can only see individual dashboards, ie should not be able to see feedback of other colleagues, and without names of feedback providers?

    Hi @IB_Smartsheet1

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Please see my comments/answers below.

    The key requirements of the system will be :

    A) Can folks without SM accounts submit forms? [Andrée Starå] Yes.

    B) how to set up my sheet to ensure that that feedback providers are mapped to pre identified individuals that are relevant to the feedback provider? [Andrée Starå] There are a couple of ways to structure it. You could add multiple contact columns, one for each role.

    2) Feedback needs to be anonymous once submitted (ideally even the sheet owner and admin): is this possible to do? [Andrée Starå] Yes, if they don't need to log in to submit the form.

    3) Individuals will have access to a report with their own peer feedback summary (anonymous) . they cannot see data on any other employees: How to set up the solution so that individuals can only see individual dashboards, ie should not be able to see feedback of other colleagues, and without names of feedback providers? [Andrée Starå] This one is tricky! You want it to be anonymous, so we would have to provide an ID or something for the submitter.

    Make sense? Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
