Reference ID and forwarding — link responses from different forms

Reference ID is an identifier that links a response in one form to a response in the form it is forwarded to.

Reference ID between two forms

  • If a form forwards to another form, Reference ID can be used to track which response from the first form belongs together with the response from the second form. To achieve this, forwarding must first be set up, which you can read more about below.
  • When forwarding has been set up, the question type Reference ID must be added to the form that is being forwarded to, i.e. the second form.
  • This question is hidden from respondents, but creates a link to the first form.

How to add Reference ID

  1. Navigate to the Nettskjema form you want the respondent to be forwarded to.
  2. Click Form builder
