Simulator - Sharing Page

Enabling sharing in Simulator provides a unique URL for each respondent's 'sharing page', which can then be shared by them on social media.

The 'sharing page' displays their submitted choices for each service or priority area including the consequences of each selected option. The page also includes a button which allows the viewer to go and submit their own response, encouraging further participation.

Sharing page user journey

Respondents take part in the Simulator by moving the sliders, viewing their consequences page, filling in the demographics questions (optional), and then selecting the 'Submit' button.

If sharing is enabled, the respondent will see the following on the 'Thanks' page (this is an example from Budget Simulator, and a similar page is shown on Bill and Points Simulators:

The Sharing Page includes the total budget or points allowance at the top of the page. You can set the title and the wording at the top of the page for your site. It then lists how the respondent set the various sliders for each group.
