Participant Registration

Public Registration allows unregistered visitors to sign up for a survey by submitting their name and email address. VeySur then creates a participant record and sends an invitation email containing their unique access link.

Enabling registration

1. Open the survey in the editor and go to the Settings tab.
2. Scroll to the Access section.
3. Enable Public Registration.
4. Save the settings and publish the survey for the change to take effect.

Access mode reference

The combination of Open access and Public Registration determines how visitors without a token are handled.

Open access	Public Registration	Visitor without a token
Off	Off	Blocked — invitation token required
Off	On	Must register to gain access
On	Off	Admitted anonymously — no registration required
On	On	Must register — open access is overridden

Registration form

When a visitor without a token reaches a survey with Public Registration enabled, they are directed to a registration form. The form collects:

• First name
• Last name
• Email address
• Language (if the survey has multiple languages configured)
• Any custom participant attributes that are not marked Internal

See Participant Attributes for details on which attributes appear on the registration form.

After registration

Once the visitor submits the form, VeySur:

1. Creates a participant record and generates a unique access token.
2. Sends an invitation email containing a direct link to the survey.

The participant appears in the Participants tab and can be managed like any other participant.

If a visitor submits the form using an email address that is already registered, no duplicate record is created. The existing access token is resent to that address instead.
