I have already sent out some invitations, but I need to set the survey to open-access mode. I need to publish a link which doesn't force users to register, like it was before sending the invitations and activating tokens.
I don't need to track how/when the tokens are used.
Can I safely drop the tokens table? Will the invitation links still work?
If you delete the token table the sent out links wont work anymore.
Easiest way is if you create a user in the token table and then set the number of usages for this token to some huge number. This only works ich you deactivate token-based response persistence. You can then use the link for this user to publicize.
Other simple solution would be to copy your survey und use this second survey as an open access survey. In this case you just have to match the data after the field phase.
