Hi


I would like to know if there is any way to create customised tokens?

We have a survey that we want to send out to a number of participants, each of these participants have a unique id number in our FileMaker database, so we would like to somehow manipulate their id #s as our "desired token" for them, to make it easy for us to save the results in our database.

Is there a way?

Just add their ID to the token column in your sample before uploading.

By "token column" do you mean adding a user defined attribute field to the token?

Try exporting the sample as a csv and you will see how it's laid out. There is a token column already where you can put any token you want.

How are you adding your sample to this survey? If you want to add custom tokens for each person the best way would be to:

-enable tokens for the survey
-create any extra attributes you will need to add with the sample
-export a csv of the tokens table from lime
-add all of your sample info into this csv (names,emails,I'd's in the token column, any attributes..).
-import this file back into limesurvey on the same page you exported from.

All of the ids that you would have put in the token column will now be the unique tokens for your survey sample.

Wow... I will definitely try that.
And when it works out (crossing fingers)... I will let you know .

Thanks
