Archiving of respondent allows you to send a respondent into the archive. The main advantage of archiving respondent is that these respondents are not anymore taken into account by [security items](/form-management/security/security-items.md). As such we can re-allow respondents to fill the form even if the security items don't allow multiple submissions. \ \ This can be particularly handy if we wanted for example to create a [campaign ](/form-management/campaigns.md)in June and send our survey to [panel members](/form-management/campaigns/campaign/panels.md) and then re-send a campaign later on in December to same panel members. In such a case we could archive the June responses just before starting the December campaign to re-allow the [panel members](/panels/panelists.md) to re-take our survey a second time effectively allowing us to record multiple answers from the same group of people over time and generate [reports ](/form-management/reports.md)series of different date ranges. ## 🚀 Archiving respondents ![](/files/-MB_llJXSqG_M1RJXtnz) To archive respondents you may select the respondent and click on the **Archive** button. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ngsurvey.com/form-management/respondents-management/archived-respondents.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
