Response identifier

Response identifier is used in reports to identify respondents who have taken your survey. By default, a respondent is identified (mapped) with response id. QuestionPro allows you to change response identifier from response id to any other option. For example, email address or any of the 255 custom variables.

Benefits of response identifier

• You can click on the email address of the respondent to view the entire response associated with that email ID or of that respondent.
• Having an email address or a personal response ID associated with each survey response helps you distinguish between similar responses.
• Communication is made easy when you have personal details mapped with the survey responses, especially for organizations conducting internal surveys.
• Together with ‘Data Audit Tool’, you can use the response identifier to enhance the quality of data you intend to collect through surveys.
• You can use personalized survey response IDs to analyze the survey results based on demographics, gender, or other custom variables you might have set to in the survey design.
