Allowing Multiple Responses For Only a Few Respondents

Greetings,

I have a department sending a survey to students and they want to allow the students that are dual majors to be able to take the survey more than once.  How can I set it up for only the dual majors to have the option for multiple submissions but everyone else is limited to only taking it once?  

 

Thank you!

You could use an Embedded Data field in the contact list to indicate they are a dual major student. Then in your Survey Flow, you can copy the block of questions that you want them to repeat, and create a branch logic to display it to only those students. So your survey flow would be:

  1. Set Embedded Data
  2. Question Block
    1. Branch if they are a dual major - repeat question block
  3. End of Survey

This will mean that students only complete the survey once, and you can simply merge your results together after the survey closes.

Alternatively, with the option suggested by @phbern above, you could present them with a retake link if they are a dual major student. If you set it up as a Retake as New Response it would allow them to record a second submission. You could then set the display logic that if the student is using a retake link (URL contains Q_R) then the retake link is not displayed to them, which would prevent additional submissions after their second one (for their second major).

    @pamelalbeck you can do a display logic and make a copy of the survey that would just display if they are dual majors.

    Or another way to do branch for dual majors that would redirect right back to the start of the survey in the survey flow.

      Similar to what @Linda_charlton says above, you could ask at the end of the survey if they are a dual major, then in survey flow, do a custom end of survey to redirect them with a retake survey link. You’d want to add something like an embedded field to make sure they don’t answer more than twice - or display logic to not ask again if they are a dual. This is similar to what I describe in my Repeat Testing video:  https://researchguides.library.syr.edu/dataservices/Qualtrics#s-lib-ctab-14642508-4

          This is probably your best bet, but you would need to have the data to know who is a duel student. I would recommend adding the survey question "Are you in a duel degree platform?" and then use branching logic off of that question. Hope this helps!
