Which field type automatically records the IP address from which a survey was taken?

The A-Field is specifically designed to automatically capture the respondent's IP address when they participate in a survey. This unique functionality allows organizations to track survey responses geographically and understand the location of respondents, which can be vital for data analysis and understanding trends based on location.

Unlike the other field types, such as Text Field, Date Field, and Numeric Field, the A-Field is tailored for a specific purpose: capturing system-generated data that enhances the analytical capabilities of the survey platform. Text Fields allow for open-ended responses, Date Fields capture dates, and Numeric Fields are designed for numerical input, none of which offer the automatic IP address recording feature that is characteristic of the A-Field. This capability supports both data integrity and rich analytics within the Medallia platform.
