# How can I add participants’ names to a non-anonymous survey?

> In this article, you’ll learn how to capture participants’ names in a non-anonymous survey and which option to choose depending on whether you want to analyse results per person or simply know who took part.

#### There are 2 ways of doing this, depending on your use-case

Option 1: Select the name from predefined answers

This option is ideal if you want to analyse survey results per person later on.

* Create a survey with the anonymity threshold of 1 response.

* Add a first question asking who the participant is.

* Use a single-select question.

* Add the participants’ names as answer options (for example: Peter, Jenny, Maria).

What this means for your analysis:

* The selected name can be used as a filter in the dashboard (this may need to be set up by your Customer Success Manager if it isn't immediately visible).

* You can, for example, filter the results to see how Peter answered all questions by selecting “Peter” from this filter.

Option 2: Let participants enter their name themselves

This option works well for larger groups where a predefined list of names would be too long.

* Create a survey with the anonymity threshold of 1 response.

* Add a question asking participants to enter their name.

* Use an open text question.

What this means for your analysis:

* You can see who took part in the survey.

* The name is saved as text input and can’t be used as a structured filter like predefined answers.

* This is a practical solution for large or changing participant groups.
