To use a survey created in a survey source like LimeSurvey, you will first have to prepare the survey in the source system. Certain settings must be set in Lime Survey before GemsTracker can track the survey.
When the survey is ready, you must synchronize the source in GemsTracker. After synchronization you are able to use the survey, though you will have to activate the survey in GemsTracker itself first.
Gems can only link individual survey answers to respondents when the survey setup allows this.
Select a survey and then click on the red encircled icon and then click on 'General settings' in the drop down menu.
Next click on the 'Presentation & navigation' tab and make sure that 'Automatically load URL when survey complete?' at the bottom of the page is set to 'Yes'. This makes sure the user returns to GemsTracker after completing the survey. The actual URL to return to us set by GemsTracker automatically.
Click on the 'Notification & data management' tab. Make sure the 'Date stamp' field is set to 'Yes'. GemsTracker needs this field to function.
Click on the 'Tokens' tab. Set:
As GemsTracker is a tool to track survey answers about the same person the surveys cannot be anonymous. The other settings are needed e.g. to allow users to reuse question answers from an earlier version of the same survey or to preset the answers depending on who is answering the survey.
Finish by clicking on 'Save'.
