Generate multiple QR codes and interview links

Create multiple interview links and QR codes based on a category, for example, based on location.

This feature is available on request. Please contact our Helpdesk team to talk about your requirements. Multiple QR codes and interview links are not available for logged in surveys.

Include the category question

Add the category question to the questionnaire as a Single Choice question. This provides the information to group the participants and send the relevant interview links or display the QR codes.

Define the category

When the questionnaire is complete, publish the survey.

  1. Click the Collect tab, which opens in the Overview section.
  2. Click the Publish current version button to publish your survey.

After publishing for the first time, the Web Interviews section becomes available. You can set the category used to categorise the interview links and QR codes.

  1. Click the Define categories button.
  1. In Generate multiple URLs using variable, select the survey variable you want to group participants.
  2. By default, all codes are used. If you want to use a subset of the codes, enter the mask expression in the Specify codes (optional) box.  You should enter the code mask as a comma-separated list of numbers, for example, enter 1,2,5 to include the codes with values 1, 2 and 5 only.
  3. Click Save to use the selected category.

This shows each code available in the category along with the Interview URL, QR code and Preview link for participants with that code selected.

Preview the questionnaire

To test the questionnaire for each category code, click the Preview link for that code.

Download the QR codes

Click Download all QR codes to download all the QR codes to a zip file. Each QR code is identified by the category label appended to each filename.

You can also click an individual QR code to download the high resolution PNG file containing that QR code.

Using the interview link in an invitation

When you create an invitation using the email editor, the interview links are determined by the category.
