Respondent Location Plugin

It may be very important to know respondents' locations without asking them directly, for example when your survey is anonymous. You can do this using respondents' IP addresses and the Respondent Location plugin.

Along with this plugin your survey must contain the IP Address Saver plugin. Based on the tracked IP addresses, location of each respondent will be displayed to you when viewing survey report.

To make this plugin work insert IP Address Saver plugin using instructions above. Then create a question of the Single-Line type in your survey, hide it if you do not want to display tracked data to respondents.

Reference the following plugin parameters to the question fields using Qx.Ay notation:

  1. *IP Address Question - Put the reference to a field of the question where IP address is stored.This is required field.

  2. Latitude Field - Put the reference to a field of the question where location's latitude will be stored.

  3. Longitude Field - Put the reference to a field of the question where location's longitude will be stored.

  4. Country Field - Put the reference to a field of the question where location's country name will be stored.

  5. Region Field - Put the reference to a field of the question where region will be stored.

  6. City Field - This field will save and display name of the city where respondent is located.

  7. Postal (ZIP) Code Field - Put the reference to a field of the question where postal or ZIP code will be stored.

  8. *Output type for coordinates - Choose the way you want latitude and longitude values are displayed to you: DD for degrees, DDMM for degrees and minutes, DDMMSS for degrees, minutes and seconds. This is required field.

This plugin is only used together with the IP Address Saver plugin. The IP address question field has to reference to the same question within the survey for both plugins.

Please note, that this plugin also works with question and answer identifiers, so you can use them instead of question and answer numbers in plugin parameters.
