Shareable Links

Generating a Shareable URL is one of the most common ways to share a survey. This link can be easily published to a website or blog. Also, when you are using a third-party system to distribute, this link is a great option. Plus, if you would like to place a link in multiple locations, you can create and label different links to the same project. Or, download a QR code for any Shareable URL to make participation easy. When your project is finished, you will know how your participants found you!

• Restriction Settings
  Apply restrictions while creating your URL or by selecting your URL and clicking on Restriction Settings. Choose your preferred restriction method from the list of available options.
  • Block by IP address: Prevents participants from completing the survey multiple times on the same network. Best used when there is no reason that participants would have the same IP address. This option should not be used if participants are taking the survey from the same physical location.
  • Block by Cookies: Prevents users from taking the survey multiple times on the same browser. This is best used when participants will be taking the survey from different computers.
  • Block by both IP Address and Cookies: Prevents repeat participation from the same IP address or browser.

  

• Expire link
  
  If you need to expire the link and stop participation through one or more URLs, select the URL(s) and click on the Status dropdown menu and click Disable. Any participant who accesses an expired link will see a message that the survey is unavailable.
