Javascript Options:
| Setting | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Use Pop-Windows | Controls whether the survey will be started in a new pop-up window or whether it will continue in the same browser window as index.html. It’s generally a good idea to use pop-up windows to control respondents’ use of their browser buttons. | |
| Use Auto-Start | Controls whether the respondent must click a “Submit” button to enter the survey or whether the index page will automatically be submitted after it is filled out by either a cookie or a hotlink. This only works with Closed online studies. | |
| Login- link | Values coming in with the URL in order to autofill name and password. Options here are to Use ID or to Use Password. If you use ID, it will ask for ID in link and Hidden name in index page. If you Use Password, it will ask for Password in link and Name in link. | |
| Login- cookie | Uses cookies to control access to the survey. If checked, then a cookie that contains username, password and study will be written to the respondent’s machine. The cookie will be checked anytime a respondent tries to access the survey. It is recommended that you use them on open surveys. | |
| Login- random | Should only be used on open online studies. This will randomly generate username and password if they do not exist. | |
| Use ID | This option becomes available if you chose the “login from link” option. It assumes that a generic user name will be used. The name entered must match what is created for the sample file. You also need to tell it what to look for in the URL to find the password. For example, instead of the id, the link might use pid=<password>. | |
| Use Password | This option becomes available if you chose the “login from link” option. It assumes a username and a password will be passed through the URL. You need to tell it what values in the link to look for if not using the defaults. For example, password could be defined with pass and name cold be defined with username(pass=<password>&username=”<name>”). | |
Login from Link, Cookie, Random
These login options act as a sequence. For example, if you use both login from cookie and login from link, then by default a cookie will be used to fill in username/password and if there is no cookie then the URL will be used to fill in username/password. If you add a random to that and your study is an online “open” study, then a username and password will be “randomly” generated if they are not found in the cookie or link.
