Wrongly made questionnaire anonymous was created by branonymous
Hello,

I hope someone is able to help, as I am kind of desperate.

Situation: I have a database with members that I send a questionnaire regularly. In this database their sociodemographic factors are stored. This way they do not need to provide them for every questionnaire I send them.

For every new survey I link this database with a limesurvey questionnaire using tokens. Yet, this time I have mistakenly made the questionnaire anonymous and I did not save the referral URL to the questionnaire. At the moment I can thus not link both questionnaires. A disaster.

Is there any way I can still link both databases? I was thinking of the following: in the database with the sociodemographic factors it says whether the questionnaire was filled in or not by said repsondent. In the other database it gives a timestamp to the answers. I was wondering whether there would be a way to get the exact time the column of 'filled in' changed for the sociodemographic database?

I really hope there is a way.

Hi & welcome,

If ypu can edit the database you can easily set refurl setting on and start to record ref urls for new entries

Juste browse `lime_surveys` table

Thanks for your reply.

Yet. Most, if not all, of the data collection is already done so this won't make a big difference anymore. :(

I really need to find a way to link the database of the sociodemographic factors and the answers to the questionnaires. The only link I see is the date of filling in the questionnaire and the date (which is not displayed) of the change in status in the sociodemographic database.
