Example: Target Attribute Data Collection in Surveys

This example illustrates how you can collect targeted segmentation data using attribute data collection.
You need to collect ethnicity data through attribute data collection. The required specifications are:

  • Employees must consent to data collection, if they submit an answer.
  • Employees in Germany mustn't be part of the attribute data collection, but should remain part of the survey.
  • All employees are part of the same survey.

, an employee can provide a response to the Ethnicity attribute by selecting a segment option that you created in steps 9-10. Employee response is optional, so employees can proceed without selecting an option. If an employee responds to the Ethnicity attribute, they must provide consent before proceeding.
  • If you need to include Germany in Ethnicity data collection, remove Germany as an excluded segment from Ethnicity.
  • If you need to disable attribute data collection for Ethnicity overall, remove the attribute from the schedule.
