Hi there,


I am designing a survey for a Ph.D. study and wish to make the study as user-friendly as possible.


My study involves sending out repeat surveys at 4 time-points over an 18-month period. After the first survey (where I will collect email addresses from participants) I will send out links to participants via the email addresses they provided at each time-point.


I was wondering if by using 'tokens', can I send links to the survey to participants, which enable them to log-in without requiring log-in details such as passwords? (i.e. click the link and be automatically logged into a secure survey).


Some of the information I am collecting will be sensitive information so I don't want the survey to be open to anyone.


Many thanks.

Yes, did you try it?

Hi Tony,

Thank you for this. I am still constructing the study, but I have selected the "Enable token-based response persistence" option from the "participant settings" option in the survey settings tabs.

Is this all I need to do?

Cheers,

Barny

After adjusting the participants setting, you need to initiate a participants table.
