Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / stock market
French term or phrase: nominative
I know this can mean "personal data" but this doesn't seem to fit the context. Procedure for conducting a market survey, a list are made of people called, and this list are is called "nominative" which seems obvious and unneccasry..

"6. Une liste des personnes contactées, avec leur nom, qualité, nom de l’établissement, date et heure de l’appel téléphonique, est dressée par chaque opérateur de YYYYY participant au sondage ; cette liste est nominative et rappelle le numéro du poste téléphonique d’où les appels ont été passés.

7. A la fin du sondage, les originaux des listes de personnes contactées sont adressés à XXXX par le responsable du service ou du secteur ayant procédé au sondage.

8. XXX adresse une copie de ces listes au Service du Contrôle Interne"

Explanation:
the list shows the name of the person making the calls for the survey as explained in the rest of the sentence: 'and shows the extension number from which the calls have been made' (or something like that)

I didn't use "nominative" but your explanation was obviously the right one, so I used "will include the caller's name". Thanks!

neutral  Tom Bishop: If translating into Canadian English, yes, "nominative list" exists, but I don't think that this is used in UK English. Agre with Muriel that the lists are drawn up to show the calls made by each named operator.

Explanation:
Just an alternative to "nominative", if you feel there's a risk of confusion with the names of the persons contacted.
It's probably a way of warning researchers that they can be checked up on (so no making up the results!)
