Collecting data #

Collecting data is super simple and fundamentally different in Sopact Sense. Typically when we run a survey for data collection, the same link gets used that is used by the survey taker to provide data. In Sopact Sense, this is different. Every survey taker gets a unique link to provide data and this is the core ability that helps organizations collect clean data that can be corrected at any point, thanks to the unique link per record.

1. Collecting and correcting data on Contacts #

If you followed the quick implementation guide, then you already know how each submission on the Contact form has a unique id generated and gets a unique link. This is the very link that can be used to correct data in the future.

For example,

This link can be used to correct and update the information shown above. This link is unique per record.

2. Collecting and correcting data on Surveys #

There are two ways to collect data on a survey.

Using the global link

This link is like a typical form or a survey. Anyone with the link and enter their response on the questions. Obviously, this limits our capability to ensure clean quality data since avoid duplicates cannot be ensured and data correction also becomes a challenge since the data points cannot be uniquely tied to the people who responded to the survey.

To use the global link, just copy the survey preview link and starte collecting data, like so

Using unique links through Relationship

Go through Step 3 of 4 step quick implementation to understand the concept of relationship.

Once you have relationship established between Contacts and Survey you can then open the Survey data grid and copy the unique links to start collecting data. Every contact gets a unique link on the related surveys so collecting and correcting data becomes a really easy process.

For example,
