Introduction
Sometimes, people want that only people who have been invited can participate in a survey. This can be done. The steps are as follows:
-
Create a list of random codes that people cannot just guess. The random code can consist of letters or numbers (or both), including non-latin characters (e.g., Asian characters)
-
Give each participant you want to invite one of these codes
-
In your survey, have the a check if one of these numbers are entered in a text line
Run the demo
Have a look at what you will get first. You can only go to the question about potatoes if you enter one of the four following codes (you can include UTF-8 non-Latin characters, such as Chinese characters).
Use one of these (copy one to try out the survey and see if it works). Also check what happens if you enter a non ID, that will lead you to the end of the survey straigtaway.
