Hello! My name is Agnes and I am setting up my study using LimeSurvey. At the end of my study I would like to include a link to the website and see who opened it. If it can be done, how to do it? (I would like my study to be anonymous). I will be very grateful for your help!
Hi, Agnes,
you say "at the end of my survey".
Is it part of the survey or do you want the participants to go to this website after they completed the survey?
This can be done by setting the end-url of the survey to this website.
Then all participants will be sent to this site.
But if you want them to come back and answer questions about this site, well, I can not help.
I am not very familiar with JS. Maybe after clicking some link you can write a value into a hidden variable and afterwards open the link by JS.
Which ideas or ways to solve it did you have so far?
Best regards
Joffm

Thank you for your answer! I had in mind the second option that you described - I would like participants to answer some of my questions about helping other people and than I would like to see whether they will open a link to a website where they can find information about certain ways to help others - it would be, let's say, a more behavioral measure. So it would be a part of my study.
Sadly by far I have no idea how to solve this problem.
If your survey will be annoymous, you will not be able to know who clicked on the link, but maybe there is a option to check with Javascript if the link was clicked and save this into a hidden question. But I am not a JS expert. But even if it is possible, you will only know that this respondent has clicked, not who he/she is. Otherwise the survey wouldn't be annonymous.

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

Hi Holch!
Thank you, that's what I meant - I don't need to know who participants are, but I need to know whether a certain anonymous participant opened the link or not. I will try to use your solution.
