How do I assign a set of unique IDs to dyads completing two different surveys?

Hello,

I am working on two separate surveys (a survey for caregivers and a survey for youth) and seek support in assigning random unique IDs to each dyad (a unique ID for each caregiver and a unique ID for each youth). For example, once John Doe (caregiver) and Sarah Doe (youth) each complete their respective surveys, they will be assigned their own unique ID that will identify them as a dyad (e.g., John Doe: 10000JD and Sarah Doe: 10000SD). So how do I assign two unique IDs per dyad that will also link both separate surveys, if possible?

I am new to Qualtrics so I would appreciate the simplification of steps.

Thanks!

You can use random number generator in survey flow (7digits) and you will be able to achieve this. If you would like to include alphabet as well at the last you can either include first name as piped text or slice the names via JS.

Hope it helps!

As I understand it, you have 2 related survey and want to link the record of each caregive with their youth and vice versa for a comprehensive report, right?

  • If you already have a contact list of Caregiver and Youth as pairs, you can assign them with a common ID, just a “No of pair” from 1 to n number of you pair is enough and guarantee uniqueness.
  • Use that ID as embedded data in the survey and once you have you result, export them out and merge the records of 2 survey with that ID.
  • Import it back with import data project, assign ID as Unique Iddentifier and start to build your dashboard.
