An online test is used when participants will complete surveys from a remote location. You can add an online test to an existing project/test in the RedJade® Suite or start by creating a new project/test. A test must have one or more events, one or more questionnaires and one or more design blocks.

With the Anonymous Link option, a url is created that can be shared with anyone and does not require any login information to take the survey. The Anonymous Link can be distributed through an external email system, posted to a company website, social media sites and printed marketing materials. Anonymous Link surveys can also be distributed by an external panel provider, see Integrating with Third-Party Panel Provider for further details.

NOTE – The Participant Start Screen will show during Survey Preview. It will NOT show in the actual test. Insert a non-sample questionnaire in the "First" area within the design block, if needed for instructions.

Creating an Online Test Via Anonymous Link follows the same steps as creating any project in RedJade. Key options for this test are outlined below.


To create an online test via anonymous link:

  1. In the Location step, choose Online to the question "Where will you administer this Acceptance test?"



  2. Choose Anonymous Link to indicate how participants will receive their login code.



  3. Enter the Survey URL link identifier for the shared url that participants will use the access the online questionnaire. A QR Code is automatically generated for the shared url.

    NOTE – The link identifier for the shared url must be unique for each test.



    To copy or save the QR Code, click the blue [QR CODE] button. Alternatively, right-click on the QR Code and select Save image as... or Copy Image.


    Click on [NEXT] to go to the Participants step.

    NOTE – The maximum number of participants is 4000. This will create 6200 design lines by default.


    Click on [NEXT] to go to the Schedule step.


  5. To schedule the test, complete the Timezone, Start Time and End Time fields. The Event Name field is optional.



  6. Click on [NEXT] to go to the Questionnaires step.


  7. After creating the questionnaire, click on [NEXT] to Create and Approve a Design Block.

    NOTE – You can increase the block padding to 2 to create a total of 8000 design lines. See Design Block Padding for further details.




  8. After approving the design block, return to the Test Dashboard to launch your test (see Preview or Launch a Test).

    The Survey URL that participants use to take the survey and the Serving Console URL for you to manage serving activities is available from the Test Dashboard. See Abandon Booth and Skip Sample for further details.
