Details

• To encrypt a field, include the tag and set the value to 'y'.
• The encrypt tag is only valid on open-end fields.
• The encrypt tag does not retroactively encrypt data that is already populated, nor does removing the tag make previously encrypted data visible. Encryption happens as the respondent takes they survey.
• Questions with datatype: phone and datatype: email are encrypted by default.
• If used with a table, the encrypt tag must be applied at the table's root.
