Is there a way to import data entered by a respondent from one survey into another one other than posting the information in the redirect URL? I'm thinking something like drilling down to a user's response (Survey ID -> Respondent ID -> Question ID -> Respondent's response). For example, I have a user take two surveys, A & B. In survey B, I want to import the user's response to the First Name and Last Name (and other info), Is there a way to grab that info by referencing the Survey ID of survey A, then the respondent's ID of survey A, and then the needed response to the question? Perhaps posting the info to the URL is the best way to go, but curious if it can be done another way. Thanks in advance!

@JasonHill We do this pretty often, we build a panel with all the information we need from Survey A, and reference it in survey b. We also create a distribution for survey B based on this panel, then use respondent id in a "Redirector survey" to pull the correct url for survey B (from a database using a webservice) and send them there.

Hi @JulieT and @JasonHill , You can use a single contact list if you have a survey dependent prefix for each variable in the contact list. So survey1_status is the status from survey1 and survey2_status is the status from survey 2. You need to be careful with the names, but then you don't need to have separate records for each individual in the contact list. One other issue with contact lists. If someone does not hit the last button on the survey, the contact list trigger will never be fired, as a result, the response will be moved from "response in progress" to "recorded responses" when the response is closed (either through pushing them to close or through expiration of the response set in survey options) but the data will never get to the contact list. This can be remedied by using a web resource element and pushing data to the contact list after each block or having a single page survey with all display logic set to in page. The web resource element would use the 2.5 qualtrics API to update contacts. Not all question types will allow in page display logic. Some options will cause page breaks in blocks. Good luck,Rett
