Hello everyone,
I am trying to build a survey-in-survey solution and am finding it impossible. This is my scenario:
- I have a Survey 1, completed by Person A - anonymous.
- Mid-way through this Survey 1, on a particular question, if Person A selects a specific answer option, I want to display a QR code (within a text / graphic block) corresponding to the generic link of Survey 2 (which is also anonymous).
- Person A shows a Person B the QR code.
- Person B scans the QR from a different device and completes Survey 2.
- After Survey 2 is completed & submitted, Person A completes a last question in their Survey 1 and finishes the survey.
Now, what I need is to:
- Connect each instance of Survey 1 with its corresponding instance of Survey 2 (so I can link the responses).
- Report all the results under one survey / common place in Qualtrics, ideally in real-time, without having to export the data from the two surveys and match the results manually.
What I managed to achieve is generate a Random ID (embedded) in Survey 1, which Person A is communicating to Person B when they present the QR code → Person B inserts this Random ID in a text entry field upon accessing Survey 2. This enables me to link the responses, yet I cannot find any way to report the results under one single survey.
Another alternative I’ve thought of is creating everything under one single survey and redirect Person B to a specific section of this survey when the QR is scanned. However, I find this technically complicated (given my limited knowledge), because the survey would be completed partially on two different devices and I would have to switch between Person A → Person B → Person A again (as mentioned in point #5).
If anyone has a suggestion about how to achieve this in a clean way, I would be beyond grateful.
