Difficulty level: Difficult
What does the functionality do?
In order for a survey participant to view his/her provided answers at the end of the questionnaire, a PDF download procedure should be set up.
Note: It is programmed in such a way that a participant does not have to activate his/her survey again to download a PDF with answers.
Use case and how to set it up?
The procedure is as follows:
- Click on the Thank you page at the very bottom of your survey.
- Position the cursor in the text box (on the right) under Thank you page.
- Click the Rich text editor… link.
- Position the cursor at the position where you want to insert a PDF link.
- Click on the Placeholder icon (see below).
- Enter the value PDF in the search field.
- Click the {{survey.answers_pdf}} link below to include the Download PDF link in the text box.
- Click the Save changes button in the Rich text editor.
When a participant fills out the survey, the answers he/she provided can be downloaded directly at the end. He/She should just click on the Download PDF button; this button appears at the end of the survey.
Note: This procedure must be carried out for each language from the corresponding survey.
If you want to send the answers provided by a participant to him/her via an e-mail message, you should include a Send e-mail element in the survey at the end of the questionnaire in which you can include a PDF download link. Again, this refers to the {{survey.answers_pdf}} link, which can be inserted into the survey in the same way as described above.
Once a participant has filled out all survey questions, an e-mail is automatically sent to his/her e-mail address specified in the sample (member.Email). After this participant has opened the corresponding e-mail, he/she only has to click on the Download PDF button to view his/her supplied answers.
In order to allow a participant to preview the questions raised in a survey, a PDF download procedure must be set up as well. For this, you will have a slightly different link: {{survey.answers_pdf_all}}. This link can be included in a text box at the beginning of a survey.
Note: The participant receives an overview of all questions without having entered or selected any answers.
The procedure is as follows:
- Include a text block at the beginning of the survey.
- Insert the desired text into the text block, e.g. Click on the link below if you want to get an idea in advance about the questions you can expect during this survey.
- Click the Rich text editor… link.
- Position the cursor at the position where you want to insert a PDF link.
- Click on the Placeholder icon (see below).
- Enter the value PDF in the search field.
- Click the {{survey.answers_pdf_all}} link below to include the Download PDF link in the text box.
- Click the Save changes button in the Rich text editor.
If a participant wants to be informed in advance about which questions will be raised in the survey, he/she can download a PDF file containing all questions right at the beginning of this survey. For this, he/she only needs to click on the Download PDF button.
Note: This procedure must be carried out for each language from the corresponding survey.
