The Terminate question for completes should always be the first one listed in the survey. You will need to make three separate Terminate questions at the end of your survey, each separated by a page break. For the sake of the example, we will assume your survey requires all three exit links. If you do not have a question that is programmed to skip and disqualify a respondent, you do not need to worry about the disqualified link. If you do not have a quota in your survey, you do not need to use the over-quota link.
Most panel providers will give you three exit links which would include a link for (1) completes, (2) disqualified, and (3) over-quota respondents. Unlike passwords, pass-in fields do not restrict access to the survey. For example, a panel provider may use “ID”. Similar to the password field, you will likely want to use the same field name as the unique identifier you intend on passing through. If you do not care about a respondent being able to re-enter the survey where they left off, you can use the pass-in field option. When the "one-click link" is clicked, it will record the password data, skip the start question, and send the respondent to the first question after the start question. Panel providers will typically insert their unique password for each respondent in the "one-click link" you provide to them. In this situation, you can still use the password option by checking the “Allow respondents to define their own passwords” under the Settings tab for the Start question. Panel providers will often create unique passwords for each respondent themselves. Keep in mind that you will need to change the default Max Respondent column to a larger number if you intend on having more than one person use the same password. If you know the list of pre-defined passwords you would like to use, you can specify the passwords by clicking on the key icon “Password Data”. For example, a panel provider may use “PSID”. For simplicity, we recommend using the same field name as the unique identifier you intend on passing through. Passwords can either be user-specified or you can make a pre-defined password list. Passwords can also be used to prevent respondents from taking the survey several times. You can add passwords by entering a Field Name under the Password Fields tab. Both of these options, using either passwords or pass-in fields, will alter the link for your survey to allow information to be passed into your survey. In the Start question settings we can see tabs for Passwords Fields and Pass-in Fields. There are several ways to get there but we are going to click the pencil icon and double-click on the question named “Start”. How to Create your Link Variables in the Start Questionįirst off, we want to go into the settings for the Start question. If you are using the Discover platform, we have another video of instructions in our help documentation under the Survey Links sections (available here: ). We will be review each of these sections as seen in Lighthouse Studio version 9.6.1. There are three important parts to setting up this connection for panel providers and linked surveys: the Start question, the Terminate question, and the Sawtooth Software survey entry link. Passing information through a link is helpful in this situation so you can merge the data later on. When you use a panel, you need to capture a panel ID and return it so respondents get credited for taking your survey.įurthermore, some users may wish to link their Sawtooth Software survey with another survey platform or a different Sawtooth Software survey. Researchers sometimes depend on panel providers to supply a pool of prospective respondents. In this article we will explain how to pass information into and out of a survey.
