This feature allows respondents to take the same survey (distributed via our email system) several times. You can distinguish these survey results using a unique code and other attributes from the file for autofilling.
To use the "Allow Duplicate Responses" feature go to the 'Email Survey' page and click the Format Data File button, then:
- Bring the survey questions in correspondence with fields of Data File you are going to import. <more>
- Select the 'Allow duplicate email addresses' check box.
- Enter fields numbers containing email addresses and unique codes in the corresponding boxes.
- Click Save to save the format settings.
- Click Back to return to the 'Email Survey' page.
- Import your Data File. <more>
- Compose the invitation using the [Fx] tag. <more>
- Send your email invitation.
Note
You can not use the 'Allow duplicate email addresses' option on Format Data File page and the 'Allow multiple responses - only applies to Master URL' rule on Survey Rules page simultaneously.
