Who can tap - and consent

Choose whether anyone with the link or only the people you invite can add rows, and how people are asked before anything about them is recorded.

#Choose who may tap

Each counter's owner decides who can add rows. Every answer page shows which it is, in the bar under the headline:

Shown as	Who can tap	Good for
Link	Anyone with the counter's tap link	A coffee machine, a front desk, an event
Members	A few named people you invite. They sign in to Countdat to tap.	When you need to know who tapped, or keep a count to a team

#Shared with a link

Someone who reached an answer without the tap link is told who to ask for it:

Bar reading: LINK. demo shares this with a link. You need that link to tap - whoever sent you here can send it. Share

#Kept with members

Someone who isn't a member can still read the answer, but is told they'd need an account and an invitation to tap. Look around instead takes them to other counters.

Bar reading: MEMBERS. demo keeps this with a few named people. You would need an account and an invitation to tap it. Share. Look around instead.

You can change the setting later. Rows already added stay as they are.

#People are asked first

If a counter records anything about the person tapping, they are asked before anything is recorded. If what's recorded changes later, they're asked again.

#Answering "who tapped most?"

Questions about people only work when the counter records who tapped - which means members who've signed in and agreed. For a link-shared count, ask about times and totals instead.
