Suppliers are asked to pass data points for each respondent into the Stream/Survey entry link. This helps Research Desk relay live sub-quota requirements back to you and enhances reporting and monitoring.

​
1. Default Profiling

Suppliers are required to pass basic profiling information for each respondent into the entry link: Each profiling point corresponds to a Qualification question from the Qualification Library. Pass the data into entry links using the format where the Global Qualification Number is the link variable name and the Precode is the numerical value of the answer choice. Example variable passing for a respondent from the United States: The resulting entry link would be formatted as follows (profiling appended to the base link returned by the Create Links endpoint):

​
2. Other Qualifications (per-case)

Any additional qualifications or profiling implemented on a Stream must also be appended to the entry link. For example, if a Stream is qualifying on pet owners who own dogs, append &639=2:

​
3. Multi-Select Questions

For multi-punch questions, separate answer choices with a pipe (|). For example, pet owners who own dogs, cats, and reptiles would be appended as 639=1|2|7:

​
4. Panelist ID

In addition to the Respondent Session ID (rid), suppliers are requested to provide a Panelist ID (pid) on the entry link, as shown in the examples above.
Use the Qualification Library and Qualification Library Options endpoints to map your internal profiling values to Research Desk Global Qualification Numbers and precodes.
