Is it possible to reconfigure the survey id of an existing survey or otherwise create a custom ID of my own making?

For example, LimeSurvey creates random 6 digit numbers. What if I wanted to make surveys that had the zipcode or other postal code?

So an example might be:

www.limesurveyentry.com/10001 <--- that's a nyc zipcode

Have the ability to make your own survey id number has some useful features, one of which is to make the URL (if sending via postal letter, for example) something the user can easily remember.

limesurveydomain.com/postalcode for example.

Thanks.

I don't think that you can configure your own custom survey ID. As far as I know LS doesn't create them "randomly", I think there is a certain logic behind it.

But when it is for making a more "readable" survey link, then you can always create your own URL and redirect it via .htaccess to the real survey URL.

Hi Holch and thanks for responding. I hadn't thought of the .htaccess. Thanks for the suggestion I think that could work!

Be well and stay safe.

To select a self defined survey ID,
you may create a small survey with only one question.

If you copy it, you have the option to enter your own surveyID.

And when import from TSV : it get it inside the TSV file.

That's very powerful! Thank you Denis and Joffm that seems like a very easy and useful solution.

If you copy it, you have the option to enter your own surveyID.

Ohh, I wasn't aware of this option. Good one!
