Private activities - how do I make an existing activity private?
Making an existing activity private is simple.
1. On the dashboard, open the Design and build dropdown menu and select Settings.
2. On the activity Settings page there is a checkbox option to Make this activity private. Fill the checkbox and select the Save button below.
How the URL will change
Once an activity is made private, the pathname (the final part) of the URL will change from the text you had originally assigned to it to an alpha-numeric code, like this:
It's worth knowing that you will not be able to edit this last part of the URL as you would normally.
BE AWARE: If you have respondents in the middle of completing the online survey when the URL changes then they may lose their response. Also, moving forward, if anyone tries to access the activity via its old public URL (eg from a bookmark, a link in an email, or because they're currently looking at it when it changes) they will be directed to a 'Not Found' error message instead.
Be mindful of this when making any change and only do so if you are happy you won't be interrupting anyone's response.
