Survey "distributions" for members of a group/class
I think I just lack the vocabulary to formulate the right search query.
I want to have a "distribution" of a survey per, say, speaker at a conference. The survey's content would be identical, but the link would be specific to the speaker being rated. Is there a better way of doing this than copying the survey?
TIA.
Ed.

@e0d you are correct that you can use a query string and embedded data (to capture the value in the query string) so that you have a unique link to go into the QR code for each instructor. And that embedded data value can be used on the back end to filter your project reports by class. This would not display to the student who the speaker is that they are evaluating. I strongly recommend that you put in one piped text field in your survey that pulls in the variable from your query string to reiterate to your respondents who they are evaluating.
+38For several of the noncredit courses that I help to evaluate at UW-Madison, we use one project. But we get different "surveys" by using piped text, embedded data, and anonymous links with URL with a query string.
Piped text: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/piped-text/piped-text-overview/
Embedded data: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-flow/standard-elements/embedded-data/
Query strings: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-flow/standard-elements/passing-information-through-query-strings/
Then I distribute through either email (outlook) or posting the anonymous link at the end of their online course.
Thanks for your suggestions.
I can probably make either piped text or query strings work, but I think my use case is even simpler. I don't need to alter the survey dynamically in any way. I do want to know after the fact, that this "instance" of the survey was about speaker Ed and that "instance" of the survey was about speaker Mary. Questions, order, flow, all the same.
If adding a query string that is a no-op in my survey is the best option, I can go that way.
Ideally, there would be a different QR code per "instance," but I could live without that or generated externally with query string arguments.
