Use public or anonymous survey access
Select registration, direct access, or unique random identifiers while planning for return visits and response usage.
Screenshots from the original Surveylet guide illustrate the controls below. Layouts and labels may vary with your survey configuration. Select an image or “View full size” to open it in a new tab.
Enable public access when needed
In Survey Settings → Survey Details, enable Allow Public Access if participants should register themselves or use the public access options. Choose the appropriate link from Survey Access. Confirm that the survey is open and that sufficient responses are available.
A shared registration link can request a name and email address and then send a personalized invitation, open the survey immediately, or do both. Test the registration flow and the default invitation template in every required language.
Use individual random identifiers
If you do not want to store participant email addresses, use a different randomly generated identifier for each participant’s direct link. Keep any mapping to actual identities with your study team. Give each participant only their own link.
Identifiers that are not real email addresses cannot receive invitation emails or reminders through Surveylet. Your team must distribute and manage those links externally. Review privacy settings separately.
Understand generic anonymous links
Do not promise reliable re-entry with a shared anonymous link. Returning from another device, clearing browser data, or starting another session may create another questionnaire and use another response.
For a study that requires repeated visits or multiple rounds, use tested individual links with stable unique identifiers. Before choosing shared anonymous access, test repeat clicks, a new browser, a new device, and an expired session; check both the questionnaires and Responses Used log.
