Hi @ManfredBM,

there is no setting to disable it but I think you can hide it if you work with a custom user type. It should be the permission “Can Access Participant Personal Data”:

“When disabled, the Complete / Not Complete status column is hidden on the Participants tab, and you cannot proxy log into participants dashboards.”

Hey @ManfredBM,

I have some additional question: Could you maybe explain the reason why you want to remove it?

Because we are currently facing some data privacy concern just because the status is “tracked” once someone is added as participant to the project. And actually this would already mean that the setup is not GDPR-compliant if we did not receive the employee’s consent to have their status “tracked” beforehand. Therefore, I just created a feature request about this.

Tracking information on whether an employee has taken part in the survey or not is a grey area of data protection. Our aim here is to hide this information as much as possible or even make it completely inaccessible.
