Hey guys, we've done our first successful survey, but now need to expand.
So we have one private survey still running, but now are adding a new one. Ideally, a person could "log in" and do survey #2, and the data would be associated with their responses to #1.

I see, though after asking customer service here (thank you, you guys are awesome), that there isn't really an "account" but the user does have a token from #1.

So for this new survey #2, how can I get the user to take the new survey associated with their previous token?

Background:
Survey #1 was an application for ordering a medical test. #2 is for a different test. Ideally, I'd like to be able to make reports on combined #1 and #2 together, cause they are similar medical tests with similar symptoms, and test results.

Also ideally, I'd like to be able to put the results of the test (or have the user go back in and enter the results of the medical test. Seems like I can go back in and insert a few subquestion fields in, and enter the data manually. (?)

I'm a total beginner here but learning and appreciate the service so far!

I think my first and main question is, if they have a token already how do I get that token into the new survey #2, and give them a link to it? Does it need to be done manually where I look up their token and send them it each time? Or is this something that can be auto generated?

I have basic PHP knowledge and could splice together a link or something, but thats all I can think of. My solution so far was adding a box above the new survey that says "if you have taken a survey with us before, please enter your email here"... then it pulls the token and makes a link for them?

Any help is appreciated. The end goal of this is to have a fairly large database of these new medical tests and their associated results, which can be used to apply for grants. I guess I'll need help linking the surveys together to make reports later too?

Anyway, step 1... how to get survey #2 going with user's token?

I might have a similar challenge...

I am even more novice than you, but have the same question re: tracking student data over extended period of time.

(I'm lucky I was able to install LimeSurvey on GoDaddy via MySQL with my limited knowledge.)

(i.e.: report card data, question responses, parent surveys, etc.)

Any tips, tricks, templates, etc. would be appreciated! I'm hoping to have STUDENT A tracked over the course of at least four years if possible and surveyed (or data manually input) at least 2-4 times per year. I was able to design my report card data tool as an array question for one semester.

I'd love to track such data over 16 semesters.

Please help.

Hello,

For titanium_bb : mayve you can trye to use an attribute with the token inside and use the endurl to launch the second survey with the good token.

Something like that :
yoururl/index.php?sid=xxxx&token={TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}
But your survey need to be not anonymous.

rwalker : Tou need one survey each month ? If you put survey not anonymous, it's seems to be OK for me ?
Maybe with iterate survey if it's the same survey : docs.limesurvey.org/Iterate+Survey
