Survey URL usage for survey takers

See this topic for information on submitting your survey URL to survey takers.

You can send a URL for your new or existing survey to survey takers. When a survey is created, a specific URL path, file, and query string is generated, which allows survey takers to access the survey. This URL path, file, and query string is located in the URL path and file name field on the Properties tab. The survey must be enabled for users to take it.

To send a URL to survey takers using the IBM^® Survey Creator application, perform these steps:

To access the IBM Survey Creator owner pages, enter the following URL in your Web browser:
```
http://your.server.name:port/ibm-bizApps/welcome
```
where your.server.name is the name of the server where IBM Survey Creator is installed and port is the port number for this application server.
Click IBM Survey Creator.
Click the radio button next to the survey name you want to send to users and click Enable.
Click the survey name hyperlink.
On the Properties tab, the URL path and file name field specifies the address where survey takers can access your survey.
Note: A URL consists of a scheme, server name, path, file name, and query string. For example, http://www.myhost.ibm.com:80/survey/taker/views/survey.jsp?id=100 contains the scheme http://www.myhost.ibm.com:80 (where www.myhost.ibm.com is your server name and 80 represents a port number), the path survey/taker/views/secure/, the file name survey.jsp, and the query string ?id=100. The scheme and server name values depend upon how your web server is set up in your network and how you want users to access your survey. For example, if your survey takers are required to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or access the survey through a firewall, their URL might be different than the URL you must use.
Place this address on a web page or send it through e-mail for survey takers to access this survey.
