What is Commonplace Consult - Hidden Comments?
It is the ability to drive respondents into different contributions paths on an entire project. Namely, it allows you to run private consultations and to keep contributions separate from other respondents.
There are 2 options available:
Option 1: Respondents can see others’ contributions after commenting
This option re-directs respondents that want to check others' contributions before submitting their own to a page urging them to have their say on the matter first.
Please note: A respondent only needs to submit a contribution on one proposal to be able to see all the contributions from all proposals within a project.
Option 2: Invited stakeholders only can see respondents answers
This option re-directs all respondents -even those who contributed- to a page summarising the project information. Only the selected stakeholders will have access to the respondents' answers.
Respondents interested in having access to this.
Note: in accordance with our value of transparency, you must agree that all contributions will be made publicly available at the end of the project.
Why/when to use Commonplace Consult?
When you want to talk about sensitive subjects in a closed environment.
