Overview of Survey Statuses in the System

This table provides a comprehensive reference for understanding the different ‘Survey Statuses’ in the Cint System. It is essential for a detailed analysis of users’ account reports, offering clear information on all surveys they have engaged in. The table not only highlights surveys that were started and completed but also includes details on those in other states such as ‘Unanswered,’ ‘Timed Out,’ and ‘Fraudulent,’ among others. This resource is a valuable tool for both administrators and participants, ensuring a broad understanding of survey progress and statuses within the Cint System environment.
