The Collector Settings allow you to set what happens after respondents have taken the survey among other really great features!

The Collector Settings and Restrictions allow you to set unique settings and restrictions, or limits, for each of the Collectors, or survey links you create. With these setting options, you determine how the link works or 'acts'. Simply, you determine if the link should allow respondents to take the survey more than once, which page opens when respondents finish the survey, and if your respondents need a password to access the survey.

To Open and View Collector Settings and/or Restrictions

Click Change Settings 

  Under Collector Settings:

• Allow Multiple Responses for collector link

We get this question all the time and wanted to address it before you read further about Collector Settings and Restrictions.

Almost always the survey link is working correctly. When the survey link opens the SurveyMonkey.com Thank You page - or landing page, it is working correctly! By default, the Collector setting for each link is set to 'allow only one response per computer.' Therefore, your response has already been recorded on your computer and the survey is opening to the last completed page - the redirect set for the link.

Answer: If you have already tested the survey on your computer, and you have the option set to one response per computer the link opens the redirect page set for the survey instead of the actual survey when used a second time. In order to access the survey more than once from the same computer, select the multiple response option:

	Yes, allow multiple responses per computer -- Recommended for kiosks or computer labs
	The settings and restrictions for Collectors are set to the default settings until you modify them: By default, the Collector is set to allow only one response per respondent [" No, allow only one response per computer."]. This means the survey redirect page or the Thank You page opens when the link is used a second time instead of the survey.
	Note: The settings and restrictions can be changed after you have sent your survey link or Collector. Please, see this help topic for bowser technical issues.
	If the link opens our Home Page (www.surveymonkey.com), it means that the entire link is not being clicked or used. Basically, this means the correct link has not been sent or that the link is breaking .

  Collector Restrictions 

• Set a Maximum Response Count - Set a maximum response count or cut-off date for the survey.
• Include Password Protection - Add a password for the survey Collector link.
• Set IP Blocking - Allow or block specific IP addresses from accessing the survey link.

From the Collector Restrictions page, you can configure the unique restrictions, or limits, for this link. Click here for detailed information about each restriction.

To Configure the Collector Restrictions

To set the Collector Restrictions, open the Collector by clicking the Collect icon and then the Collector title for the collector; once you have opened the Collector Summary page, click the [Change Restrictions] button to open the "Collector Restrictions" page.

Tips

  Each Collector collects results with independent settings and restrictions. You must format the Collector settings for each link you create. * To test the settings and restrictions, you will need to test the actual Collector link. The preview function does not open the Collector or apply the settings and restrictions.

  Responses from multiple Collectors merge in your survey results. (All responses for a single survey are stored together, regardless of which Collector 'collects' the responses)
