Disabling survey for specific tokens was created by RaCMJS
Hi,
I am running a pre-program survey that is being conducted on a rolling bases. The program is running throughout the summer - people are contacted 3 weeks before their program starts and asked to complete the survey. I have all the program participants in the taken table and then I send the invitations and reminders selectively based on their program date.

Because this is done on a rolling bases I will have people who have completed the program but have not completed the pre-program survey. Is there a way to block their links to prevent a situation where they finish the program remember that they have the link and do the survey? I can't deactivate/expire the survey because I have other people coming in.

I tried changing the number of uses left to , but that does not seem to prevent someone who has the link to use it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi,

You may try to use "Valid until" date for specific tokens. Manual: "Valid from & Valid until : You can set a date/time range where this token would be allowed to use. You can leave these empty if you don't want to limit participation time frame for certain users. Note: If the user is answering the survey and the participation time ends then the user is locked out immediately and won't be able to finish the survey."

Setting uses left to 0 should work. Did you set it to 0 or null?

Cheers,

Thank you Elzbieta. Changing the valid until date worked. I will use this solution.

Tony - I changed the uses left to 0 (not null), but this did not block me from taking the survey.
