Access Controls in Surveys

In the Access Controls tab, you can set the various options for limiting access to your survey.

You can choose and customize several Access Control options:

Survey closed message

This is the message that will be displayed to people attempting to take your survey after it has been stopped. A survey can be stopped either manually from the stop button by navigating to Surveys > View > Surveys > Active or from having reached the closed date.

Limit to Single Entry

There are two options for limiting your survey to single responses.

Yes, limit by IP address - This option will only let a respondent complete your survey once. This is determined by the IP address of the computer taking the survey, so respondents will still be able to move to a different computer and retake your survey. This type of restriction will also have limited effect for dial-up internet customers or other respondents who have frequently-changing IP addresses.

Yes, limit by person code - Use this option if you are including a 'person code' in the URL and you want to limit respondents to just those that have the person code.

Response Count Limit

This option will automatically close a survey once a pre-determined number of responses has been received. This option is good for those that maybe using SurveyTown for registration or entries that have a limited number of responses that can be received.

Limit to Date Range

These options will let you specify an opening and/or closing date for your survey. If you do not specify an opening date, the survey will be made available as soon as it is activated. If a closing date is not specified, the survey will remain active until it is manually stopped from the Surveys > View > Surveys > Active overview screen.
