Note that Sona Provides its own, similar instruction page at https://www.sona-systems.com/help/qualtrics/

(1) In the Sona system, change the Study URL so it includes ?id=%SURVEY_CODE% in the URL. So for example, if the Qualtrics URL (Anonymous Survey Link) is:

• https://yourschool.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_b9ZD41hMZaqE

Change it to:

• https://yourschool.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_b9ZD41hMZaqE?id=%SURVEY_CODE% (Note: "id" must be in lower-case)

(2) In Qualtrics, configure the survey to accept the survey code number as an embedded data field named "id". Remember to use lower-case as this is case-sensitive. To do this, go to

• Survey Flow > Add a New Element > Embedded Data.

• Type the following text: id

• Select "Save Flow." Do NOT set a value now.
