8. Tracking the Identity of Respondents
If you want to track the identity of your respondents, then this needs to be created
initially before you send out the survey. In order to track what survey response
belongs to which respondent, we offer three options:
1. Create an Email Invitation Collector and send the survey through our email
server.
2. Create unique IDs and customize the Web Link Collector link. Then send the
individual customized links through your own email client. Each link must be
emailed separately. For example: If you have 10 respondents to track, you will
customize 10 links and then email 10 separate messages.
3. Or you can create demographic type questions in the body of the survey.
Track by SurveyMonkey (Email Invitation Collector):
When you use the Email Invitation collector, you opt to have SurveyMonkey send a
message on your behalf. From here you will:
Upload your emails into the Email List (Edit Recipients) section.
Customize a message.
Schedule the delivery of the message to the list.
Once responses are returned, the Analyze section of the account tracks the responses
by the respondent's email address, first name, last name, and custom data field.
When you browse through each participant's survey, those fields are populated with
each response in the top portion of the survey.
