Passing Data Between Applications

[tfitzgerald]

I've got the following scenario:

1. A respondent starts a Checkbox survey
2. When they get to a certain point, Checkbox will transfer them to a different application passing Survey and Respondent IDs
3. At the end of the middle app, I want to pass back to the Checkbox survey and have the respondent continue with a survey

Is the @@RespondentGuid pipe variable the unique ID for each person taking the survey?

So far, I think I understand how to handle steps 1 and 2. However, is it possible to transfer a respondent back to a Checkbox survey from a different app and have them continue where they left off? Can I just pass the values back to the survey in a query string?

Thanks,
Tim

What you are trying to do should be possible if the survey allows users to resume. Instead of the RespondentID, you'll want to include the ResponseID in the url when going back to Checkbox.

To see an example of what the URL used to resume the survey should look like, edit the survey permissions to allow users to resume, then edit the survey style to include the "Save and Quit" button. Next, test the survey and click the "Save and Quit" button and you'll see what the URL should look like.

What is the difference betweent the RespondentID and the ResponseID? Could you please define what each identifies?

Thanks!

Hello... Is this thing on?

A RespondentID uniquely identifies the respondent, the individual who filled out the survey.

A ResponseID uniquely identifies a survey response. A survey response is comprised of all of the respondent's answers to the survey questions along with some additional information such as, when the response was started, when the response was completed, which respondent filled out the survey, etc.
