Customising URL query string attributes for participant IDs and demographics
Updated: 18, Sun, 2024 04:26 PM
Positly automatically appends URL query string attributes to your activity link with unique participant attributes (e.g. unique identifiers and demographics) so that you can store them for use in your study.
These have their default attribute names which can be customised while creating your run.
Instructions to customise these attributes in your run:
- Click on the “Query String Attributes” pane to expand it
- Find the attribute you want
- Edit the name
You can see a preview URL which shows how Positly will append participant attributes to your activity link.
