You can create your own custom URL or manually add to a built URL using querystring parameters to utilise a survey's parameters.
Parameters are added to the end of a link to pre-fill survey fields. The first parameter must be preceded by a question mark (?) and all subsequent parameters with an ampersand (&). In addition, the base URL and the "id" parameter, to identify the survey, are required for all survey URLs.
For Example:
The following URL would display the survey with the ID 1.
http://<YourDomain>.vetsurvey.com.au/Survey.aspx?id=1
NOTE: The <YourDomain> should be replaced with the name provided to you by . For example the URL for the demonstration is http://demo.vetsurvey.com.au/
The following are built-in parameters:
| Parameter | Description | Location for obtaining valid IDs |
|---|---|---|
| id | Survey ID | Surveys > Edit Surveys |
| cID | Course ID | Misc> Courses |
| fID | Facilitator ID | Misc> Facilitators |
| lID | Location ID | Misc> Locations |
| pID | Project ID | Misc> Projects |
| wID | Workshop ID | Misc> Workshops |
NOTE: The Build URL feature is the best way to include built-in parameters in a URL. The URL that is generated can then be copied and further customised as required.
In addition to built-in parameters, surveys can have custom parameters. Any Survey Parameter with a URL Parameter set can be used in a URL just like the built-in parameters, although the former cannot be generated with the Build URL feature.
The Survey Parameters List displays the custom parameters. It is accessible by choosing Surveys > Edit Surveys and then choosing the Edit link for a survey in the Survey List.
For Example:
The sample Survey Parameters List, shown above, indicates the querystring parameter 'newparam' can be used to pass a value for the Custom Parameter field in the survey.
This could be achieved with the following URL:
http://<YourDomain>.vetsurvey.com.au/Survey.aspx?id=1&newparam=value
Visiting the URL would produce something like the sample screenshot below:
