How to Extract the Course Name, Chapter Name, and Course URL Automatically While Taking the Course

If you’re using the same survey across multiple courses and want to know exactly where each response came from, you don’t need to create duplicate forms or ask learners to enter the course name manually.

ProProfs Training Maker lets you automatically capture the course name, chapter name, and course URL when a learner completes a survey inside the course. You just need to add three specific fields to your survey—Course Name, Chapter Name, and Course URL—and the system fills them in for you.

This is especially useful when:

• You’re collecting feedback across many courses

• You need to link responses to specific course content for reporting or compliance

• You want to reduce manual effort in sorting or tagging learner data

Here are the steps:

Step 1: On your ProProfs Survey Maker dashboard, either create a survey from scratch or edit an existing survey if required.

Step 2: From the question type, select "TextBox" and click "Add Question." Create three questions, each titled Course Name, Chapter Name, and Course URL, as shown in the screenshot below. Click "Save" to save your survey.

Step 3: Now go to your ProProfs Training Maker dashboard, create a new course, or edit an existing course if you want.

Step 4: Click Add New >> Survey.

Step 5: Select the survey you created in the previous steps and click Done so that it can be added to the course. This will allow your learners to take the survey right inside your training course.

Step 6: To save your updated training course, click Done.

Step 7: To view your survey takers' and learners' comprehensive survey reports, go back to your ProProfs Survey Maker dashboard and access the reports.

Step 8: Click the view icon to view the detailed report.

Step 9: The report represents the data for the three parameters Course Name, Chapter Name, and Course URL. You can also download the report by clicking the download icon.

Best Practices

• Keep field labels consistent. Renaming them later won’t retroactively update past data.

• Place the survey after key course content to avoid collecting incomplete context.

• Use filters in Survey Maker reports to group results by course for easier analysis.

• Avoid duplicate surveys by using this method across multiple courses—auto-filled data will distinguish them.

Once learners complete the course and fill out the survey, you’ll see their responses linked to the correct course and chapter in your Survey Maker reports. You can filter, download, or group this data for audits, feedback summaries, or internal tracking—without relying on manual entry or duplicated forms.

That is all about extracting the course name, chapter name, and course URL in ProProfs Training Maker.
