How do I record a participant's IP address? (Power Surveys)

This script enables you to store the IP address of a participant into a hidden Open End question.

Detailed Steps

Add the hidden open end question to your survey

1. Click on the Questionnaire tab of your survey.
2. Add your Open End question.
3. Select the Hidden check box at the top of the question to hide it.
4. Add a script action at the beginning of the survey.

Prepare the script in Notepad:

1. Open Notepad or a similar text editing tool.
2. Copy the script below into Notepad.
    

   /*
   
   Script Name: How do I record a respondent's IP address?
   
   To ensure your script works as expected, always copy the original script from the script library found in the support portal. Failure to use the most up to date script from the script library may cause unexpected results.
