Guide

Set Open Access
For use with the Anonymous survey link. Does not limit access.
Set By Invitation Only
Limits access to only those who have received a unique link through the Survey Mailer.

  • If you turn on By Invitation Only when you are using the anonymous survey link, it will not let the respondents take the survey.
Password Protect Your Survey
Allows you to set a single password for your survey.

  • If you need a unique password for each survey taker, use the Authenticator option in the Survey Flow.
Prevent Ballot-Box Stuffing
Uses a browser based cookie to track if someone took the survey once. If they attempt to take the survey again from the same browser on the same computer, they will not be able to take the survey again.
Set HTTP Referer Verification
Allows you to specify a URL users must come from to access the survey. This is useful if your survey link is posted on a particular website, such as an internal university or company page, and you want to make sure the link does not get copied and sent to others. Only those who can access that page would be able to take the survey.
Prevent Indexing
Keeps search engines, such as Google, from indexing your survey and presenting it in search results. Typically, this is only needed by people with long-term studies where the survey is active for a long time.
Specify a Valid Time Period for a Survey
Specify the exact date and time combinations when respondents can start and stop accessing the survey (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM). 12:00 AM is the default time if no time is specified. The system will show you the time zone you are working in and set the date and time based on your time zone (adjust under Account Settings). Those trying to access the survey before or after the specified range receive a simple message explaining that it is currently unavailable.
