Sending Pre-populated Invitations

Help_Banner_opt3

Why ask people to tell you things you already know? Often when surveying respondents, you will already have data from your list of contacts. You can include this background information with your survey data without even having to ask the questions. Data pre-population makes survey data more accurate, streamlines survey completion, and gives you more analytical power.

Data population can be used with Unique URL email invitations or Unique Survey Access Codes.

  1. First, apply pre-population to your survey.
  2. In the Distribute tab, select the survey to publish.
  3. Click on Publish Survey.
  4. Select Unique URL (Single-Use Link) under Email column and proceed by clicking on Continue.
  5. Select the email template you want to use for your email invitations.
  6. For Source of Email Addresses, choose one of the following options:
    1. Type Manually
      1. Under Additional Publishing Options, choose Pre-Populate Questions. This option will be preselected if your survey already contains a pre-populated question. Click on Continue to proceed.
      2. Enter the data manually for the questions to be pre-populated. Enter data for each individual by selecting the option from the dropdown or by typing in the textbox.
      3. Click on Continue
    2. From a File
      1. Under Additional Publishing Options, choose Pre-Populate Questions. This option will be preselected if your survey already contains a pre-populated question. Click on Continue to proceed.
      2. Map the Survey question with the column attribute of your file. The system will first auto-map all the questions with their attributes by order.
      3. As needed, you can reset the auto-mapping by clicking on Reset and manually map the columns in the file to questions.
      4. Click on Continue.
