Add ability to track Survey submissions by source code

There currently is no way to report on surveys taken, broken out by source code. Luminate Online needs the ability to report on survey submissions by source code so we can tell where people came in from.

    Thanks for this Ken! 

    Looking in the survey it states "The Profile field you select in Constituent Profile Field Update will be updated with the value you enter here. For a Hidden Text Update, enter a text value." 

    So to clarify, if we were going to use [[S334:source]] in the survey input field, we would have to create a corresponding custom string in the database called "source" for the URL variable to be stored in. Is that correct?

    Hi Peter, it isn't automatic but you can do this by adding a question to your survey > choose Hidden Text Update > and in the input field put [[S334:test]] where test = the name of the url parameter you can add to the survey URL. For example, you can have:

    http://yourshortname.convio.net/site/Survey?ACTION_REQUIRED=URI_ACTION_USER_REQUESTS&SURVEY_ID=1234&test=mysourcecode

    and if you add [[S334:test]] to your hidden text input then it will put whatever that equals (in this case "mysourcecode") in the URL. Then just use this URL when sending out the link to your constituents.

    I'll leave this idea open for people to upvote a more automated way of doing the same thing.

    Thanks,

    Ken
