What is the best way to make sure that the same survey ID are not being entered twice? | XM Community

Hi,

 

I am programming the surveys and it’s important that each person who will complete this (anonymous) survey enter a unique survey ID. 

 

I can’t seem to find a way to do so. 

 

Example scenario is like this 

  • John opens his survey, he types in 1000 as his survey ID.
    • And he won’t submit the survey for another 30 mins.
  • Jane also opens her survey a few minute after John, and she types in 1000 as her survey ID. 

Does Qualtrics have a real-time function where if 1000 was already used by John (though he has not yet submitted his entire survey but the survey ID is in use or something), it would be impossible for Jane to also type in 1000? Like an error message would pop-up or the survey would not let her proceed unless she enters a different number like 1001 or something? 

 

Thank you so much! 

Qualtrics doesn’t offer such a solution. One option could be to use their responseId, which will be unique per survey. Alternatively, you could try something like this: https://demo.survey-awesome.com/uniqueID
