Survey Queue

What is Survey Queue?

The Survey Queue is used to connect separate surveys on your project.  When the first survey is complete, it does one of the following:

• Shows a list of surveys that are to be completed as well as the surveys that the participant has already completed for that event
  OR
• Goes directly to the next survey that is programmed to open
  
  

Set up Survey Queue

1. Go to "Project Setup" on your REDCap project.  Here click on "Online Designer".  At the top of the table, click on "Survey Queue" to enable Survey Queue for surveys (circled in red below).
   
   
   
   
   
2. Here in the "Setup Survey Queue" box, Activate the surveys you would like to include in the survey queue by clicking on "Activate" (circled in green in image below).  For all surveys that have been activated for the Survey Queue, they will be displayed to the participant after completing a survey, or be available to auto start after completing another survey. 
           
         
   
   
3. The Survey Queue can be used to set surveys to appear based upon one or both of the following conditions (both are inside the blue square in image above):
   
   
   1. If the participant has completed a particular survey - program this by clicking the checkbox next to "When the following survey is completed:" and selecting in the dropdown list which survey needs to be complete before the current one is available.  
      
      and/or
      
      
   2. If certain logic is true (similar to branching logic) - program this by selecting the checkbox next to "When the following logic becomes true:" and then entering the logic in the textbox.  The logic lists the things that need to be true before that survey is available for the participant to fill out.  For example, logic similar to "[visit1][age] > 18" could be used (note: [visit1] is and event name and [age] is an existing field on the project).  This gives the logic that the participant needs to be older than 18 enable to see and fill out the survey. 
      
      
4. (Optional)  You can select "Auto start" to program the surveys to automatically continue onto the next survey without the list of all the surveys appearing.  Do this by clicking"Auto start" (circled in red in image above) and selecting from the dropdown list which survey needs to be completed before the current one opens up. 
   
   
   
5. If the Auto start is not set up, it will go to a list of all the available activated surveys when the first survey is complete and when all the logic is true.  The participant will be able to open up a survey by clicking on "Begin survey".  Once they submit the survey, it will go back to this list and mark that survey as "Completed". 
       
   
   
   
6. Once all the surveys are complete, will have them marked as complete and participant can click on "Close survey" in top left corner.
