Overview

Custom Access Codes are user-specific codes that function as passwords for survey participants to access their survey. 

Custom Access Codes are automatically generated by Quantum Workplace and are valid for one-time use. When a survey participant uses their code to access a survey, a new unique code is generated in case the participant wants to access their survey again. 

Requirements

To use Custom Access Codes, on the Participants page of the survey creator, the following options must be selected: 

• Invitation Method: Invite Manually and/or Invite Automatically 
• Access Survey By: Unique Access Code or Unique Link

Survey Participant Perspective

A survey participant accessing a survey with their custom access code will progress through a similar experience.
