CAWI Multi Panel Companies Redirect

CAWI Multi Panel Companies Redirect

Overview

In some cases, there is a need to send the same survey to multiple panel companies, and as a result, there is a need to redirect each of the interviews to the proper panel company that sent the link to the respondent.

In this guide, we will provide you with the steps and a sample of how to redirect the interview to multiple panel companies.

Steps

1. Create Unique links:
   • Option 1 - Create 2 dynamic unique links 1 for each panel company and use the 'Ticket' as the identifier for each panel company 
   • Option 2 - Create 1 link with a parameter called 'panel=X' that will distinguish between the panels (We use this option in the attached sample survey). 
     Example Link: https://www.dooblocawi.com/client/Survey.aspx?Ticket=7I89FCD9&panel=1&uid=
2. Create a Dummy Question to hold the Panel company chosen by using the function ExternParam("panel")
   In the sample survey, it is question QPanel.
3. Create Dummy Open Ended questions that will hold the redirect string. In our example, they are QFinish, QFilter, and QQuota.
4. Create an Expression question that will hold the logic that will set the QFinish, QFilter, and QQuota questions.
   
5. Navigate to the CAWI tab of the survey, End Pages section, select Use Custom Pages, and in the relevant end page links add (An:QFinish), (An:QFilter), and (An:QQuota).

Note: In our sample, you can see that Q3 (QPanel) is added to a quota sheet. This is an example of how you can set up different numbers of interview quotas per panel company through our system. More about quotas can be reviewed here: Quota Management in SurveyToGo

That's It!
