• Each custom variable can be mapped to only
one value.
• Display Name should be unique.
• Code must be unique and should not contain any
special characters including 'space'. It is an
optional field.
• First column is custom variable number. For

38. INTERMEDIATE MAPPING
Passing MappingVariables (MV) through
Survey URL
To append MV to a survey link:
1. Copy the survey link and paste it into notepad
2.Add a question mark (?) to end URL
3.Type Mapping Code = Actual value (it is the value
that you want to pass for that custom variable).
Example: https://surveyanalytics.com/t/
AIyWAZNyRW?dpt=Sales
3.To pass the value for multiple custom variables
then, we have to separate each variable data pair with
an ampersand (&)
Example: https://surveyanalytics.com/t/
AIyWAZNyRW?dpt=Sales&EmpID=12345
