✓ TIP:
You can also enter survey data by hand, instead of using a public link to collect survey responses. Participants will complete the survey on paper, and you can enter response data in PEARS.
For more information on manually entering survey data, see Enter Survey Response Data.
GLOSSARY:
A QR code is an image that links to a web location. A camera on a mobile device (such as a smart phone or tablet) can be used to scan the QR code and access the link. To scan a QR code, open the camera on a mobile device, and view the QR code through the device. (It is not necessary to take a picture).
✓ TIP:
Survey responses collected with a public link can only be edited by Data Managers. See the PEARS Directory for a list of your organization's Data Managers.
