Publication & Access

Publication & access

This setting allows the survey administrator to choose the way the survey can be accessed by survey participants (e.g., CAPTCHA codes can be used to increase the security of your survey).  Also, here is where you can set a start/expiry date/time.

From the Settings tab, under Survey settings, select Publication & access.




Publication & access panel

The following are the Publication & access panel options:


Start date/time

The date the survey starts.

Expiry date/time

Set this to the date  you want your survey to expire. This is the last date on which the public survey script will allow survey participation. For example, If you set the date for December 31, then people will no longer be able to use the survey script on January 1. To disable this, clear the date from the input field.

List survey publicly

Disabled by default. If enabled, your survey will be listed in the "available surveys" portal (e.g., yourinstance.com).

Use CAPTCHA for survey access

In order to access the survey, a CAPTCHA code has to be typed in by the survey participant.

Use CAPTCHA for registration

In order to register for the survey, a CAPTCHA code has to be typed in by the survey participant.

Use CAPTCHA for save and load

If enabled, a survey participant is required to enter a CAPTCHA code to reload a survey after completing only a part of it.
