Customizing the way embedded data pipes into survey

I'm creating a project where users that log in based on email id (pulling from Contact List) need to see a list of emails that checked into an organization. The number of people/emails checking into an organization can be in the 100s and the total number of organizations can be between 600-700. I've gotten the instrument to work technically but because of the way the emails are delimited in the uploaded contact list, all the emails appear in a horizontal line that is pretty unsightly. Please see below.

Is there any way to customize the piped embedded data ${e://Field/Email%20List} to make this appear as an actual list with emails one below the other instead of the long string? Thanks for your help

Hi @Suja,

Considering you have comma(,) between each email id. You can can go with below solution.



1. Go to the place you have added ${e://Field/Email%20List} in the question, switch to HTML view. Add the piping text inside a span tag and give an id like below -

<span id="ABC">${e://Field/Email%20List}</span>



2. Add JS in that question and add below script inside Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()

Like below -

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()

{

/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/



var X =document.getElementById("ABC").innerText;

var str=X.split(",");

var strX="";

for(var i=0;i<str.length;i++)

{

strX=strX+str[i]+"\\n";

}

document.getElementById("ABC").innerText = strX;

});
Qualtrics Support found a simpler solution to my problem. I just needed to replace commas with line breaks "<br>" in my contact list and that fixed the problem. Thanks, @Subu for your help!
