Hi all,

 

Is there any option to preview the survey without getting it recorded in the data. I want to run it 10-15 times to verify the structure and flow and don’t want the data to be recorded. This is required as my data collection is already in progress.

@rochak_khandelwal Add “Q_DONT_SAVE=1” as parameter to the survey/preview URL when you don’t want to record them.

i.e: https://yourdomain.qualtrics.com/jfe/preview/previewId/1234567890abcxyz/SV_123456abcdxyz?Q_CHL=preview&Q_SurveyVersionID=current&Q_DONT_SAVE=1


Hope this helps

Hey, like I mentioned I am in the middle of survey and hence don’t want to delete “all” of the responses at once.

You can also modify the survey flow by adding a branch logic as it survey url contains preview then add end of survey element under this branch logic with do not record response option checked.

Another workaround could be answering all the questions in the preview mode except for the last one to make sure it doesn’t submit.

@ash123 - Hey, that would be helpful. But won’t be able to help me in case I want to check the randomizations.
