Step 17.1 All we want is to add to the base URL while specifying the variables we set up. The first step is to tell the URL what the community issue is. To do this you will add the following to the end of the URL "?Q_R_DEL=1&Community%20Issue=". See the example below.

https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_231dS7AIAzqedIF?Q_R_DEL=1&Community%20Issue=

At the end of that, type in your community issue variable. In our example, it was "ProtectIRL." See the example below.

https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_231dS7AIAzqedIF?Q_R_DEL=1&Community%20Issue=ProtectIRL

Now we have told the survey about the community issue we are working with. The next step will be to add the date and county.

Step 17.2 The second step is to tell the URL the Forum Date (or Town Hall Meeting Date). To do this, you will add the following to the end of the URL created in Step 17.1, "&ForumDate=" if you are doing a community forum, or "&TownHallDate=". See below for an example.

https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_231dS7AIAzqedIF?Q_R_DEL=1&Community%20Issue=ProtectIRL &ForumDate=

 

https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_231dS7AIAzqedIF?Q_R_DEL=1&Community%20Issue=ProtectIRL &ForumDate=&TownHallDate=

At the end of that type in the date variable. In our example it was "07/08/2020". See below for an example. Note that you URL's think of the "/" as something else so we have to substitute "%2F" to represent the "/" in the date.

Now we have told the survey the community issue and the date we are working with. The next step is to add the County.

https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_231dS7AIAzqedIF?Q_R_DEL=1&Community%20Issue=ProtectIRL &ForumDate=07%2F08%2F2020

Step 17.3 The third step is to tell the URL what the County is. To do this, you will add the following to the end of the URL created in Step 17.2, "&County=". See below for an example.

https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_231dS7AIAzqedIF?Q_R_DEL=1&Community%20Issue=ProtectIRL &ForumDate=07%2F08%2F2020&County=

At the end of that type in the county variable. BIG NOTE HERE. If your county has a space in it, like our example (St Johns), since URLs cannot have spaces in them you will substitute wherever there is a space with "%20". See bullet for example.

https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_231dS7AIAzqedIF?Q_R_DEL=1&Community%20Issue=ProtectIRL &ForumDate=07%2F08%2F2020&County=St%20Johns

Now the URL is fully populated with the customized variables.

https://ufl.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_231dS7AIAzqedIF?Q_R_DEL=1&Community%20Issue=ProtectIRL &ForumDate=07%2F08%2F2020&County=St%20Johns
