Reusable individual survey links

Survey in question is part of a research study. Participants will take the survey every day through a tablet provided by the research site. I want to create an individual link for each participant that I bookmark to their individual tablets so we can tell who is submitting each daily questionnaire. However, the links would also need to be reusable as the participant would be using the same link each day (and entering the date to differentiate data points). Is this possible?

 

Thank you!

It is also possible to use an Anonymous link with information included in the URL via Query Strings. So you if you had an Embedded Field called "Experience" at the top of the Survey Flow, you could create links like the below and distribute 1 to each participant:

https://brand.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6tAJFFLrcncbaaa?Experience=B
https://brand.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6tAJFFLrcncbaaa?Experience=C
https://brand.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6tAJFFLrcncbaaa?Experience=D
https://brand.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6tAJFFLrcncbaaa?Experience=E

When a link is accessed, the “Experience” value will be saved from the URL and included in the survey data.

Once submitted, I’m afraid the link is not reusable. Instead, you can make a survey that span across multiple days by set display logic of question or block base on current date, javascript that hide/disable the next button to prevent respondent from advancing to the next day question. 
Hope this helps. Let me know if anything comes up.

You can use Multiple Completes links. “Each participant receives a personal link that can be used multiple times. Each time this link is used, a new response is added to your results and the same contact list information is recorded.” There is more information on that link type here.

You can send all the email invitations to yourself and then download the distribution history to obtain a spreadsheet of Multiple Completes links. I'd recommend adding info to the invitation text or subject line that will not have the Qualtrics mailer skip as duplicate. Could look like the below:

The anonymous link with Query Strings sounds perfect for what I need to do, thank you! I’m a Qualtrics novice, so hopefully I can figure it out!
