Single Submission Surveys

Enketo now offers the ability to conduct surveys that obtain just a single reponse from each user!

Why Use This

If you want to conduct a single-use survey by sharing a link, you can now use the awesome power and sophistication of XLSForms and Enketo. Finally, there is no longer a need to Monkey around with limited, outdated software for these types of surveys! Think for example of polls and user feedback surveys.

How it Works

When the user submits a response to your survey ze will be automatically redirected to a page you specify or to a generic “thank you” page. If the user attempts to submit the same survey again, a message is shown: “You have already completed this survey”.

Demo

See this demo and submit your response.

How to Use

No need to add anything to your XLSForm. You have the following options to use this feature for any form:

A. Be an activist

You could actively request any Enketo-powered service to leverage this new feature. Those services rely on your feedback to continuously improve.

B. Use your own Enketo Express installation

Make sure to populate the new config.json item and use this API endpoint to request a webform URL.

C. Use the paid Enketo service.

Use this API endpoint to request a webform URL from the paid Enketo service, or upgrade your form/data server when it has added the feature.
