* Survey Hyperlink

The URL of your survey

Query String Parameters
By default, CloudResearch will add the following query string parameters to your URL so you can take advantage of them in your data collection. The parameters are: workerId, assignmentId, and hitId.

workerId-The MTurk Worker ID
assignmentId-A unique ID that Amazon generates for a worker taking your HIT
hitId-The ID of your HIT

For example, if your Survey Link is https://www.example.com, we will add the above parameters to the URL, so the final URL might look like https://www.example.com?workerId=ABCD1435&hitId=35hgfsbdu&assignmentId=vbwjebwufg. You can then take advantage of these parameters by setting up Qualtrics Embedded Data

Do not add query string parameters

Selecting this option will not add workerId, assignmentId and hitId to your Study link. This feature is useful if your Survey platform does not support additional query string parameters in the url

Please note that CloudResearch will automatically approve participants based on the completion code that you select below. Your completion code will need to be either a Dynamic Code or a Fixed Code.

Fixed Secret Completion Code for all Workers

Secret Completion Code that workers must enter to complete the HIT. (Alphanumeric characters excluding numbers 1, 0 and letters I, O, l)

Note: Your External Secret Completion Code must be prominently displayed on the last page of your survey and without ANY punctuation before or after it like this:

Secret Completion Code: AJFHBG897

Dynamic Secret Completion Code For Qualtrics

Each worker will have a unique secret key.

Setting up the dynamic code by definition means each individual worker will get a unique completion code. To do this on Qualtrics:

Create or Edit a Survey
Go to the End of Survey section, located after the final block in the survey, and click the "Survey Termination Options"
In the Survey Termination Section: Click on Custom end of survey message... **This can also be accessed from Survey Flow
Go to Custom End of Survey Message and click new message **In Survey Flow
Enter Secret Key in the Description field. (Next time you can select this message.)
Click the Source button

Paste the following text exactly into the window as shown

<iframe width='100%' height='200' id="cr_secretcode"></iframe>
<script>
    function createIFrame() {
        var ref = encodeURIComponent(document.location.search);
        var ifrm = document.getElementById("cr_secretcode");
        ifrm.setAttribute("src", "https://app.cloudresearch.com/TakeLaunchedSurvey/DynamicKey/?referrer=" + ref);
    }
    createIFrame();
</script>

Custom Instructions

(Optional) It is best to include instructions on your survey landing page. Nevertheless, you may include custom instructions to display to workers.

Standard instructions that workers should follow the hyperlink and submit a secret code (if set) are always included and will follow the custom instructions, if specified.

Keywords

Keywords associated with your HIT

This project may contain potentially explicit or offensive content, for example, nudity

A few demographic questions will be added to your HIT. This helps maintain worker quality.

Exclude Workers with These Worker IDs (You can use either CloudResearch Worker IDs or Amazon Worker IDs). Enter each on a separate line (Maximum 2000)

Include Workers with These Worker IDs (You can use either CloudResearch Worker IDs or Amazon Worker IDs). Enter each on a separate line (Maximum 2000)

Worker Qualifications

Location

Lab Service only supports restricting participants from the United States

Note Regarding HIT Approval Rate
When you set HIT Approval Rate (e.g. 80-100%) CloudResearch automatically sets Number of HITs Approved to be at least 100 since MTurk assigns an Approval Rate of 100% to Workers who have completed less than 100 HITs (MTurk API Reference).

HIT Approval Rate (%) for all Requesters' HITs

HIT Approval Rating: 90-1000000%

Number of HITs Approved

Worker needs to have completed between 100-1,000,000 HITS
