'Help' link in the sidebar | XM Community
Skip to main content

I want to create a 'Help' link in the sidebar. If respondent clicks 'Help', then he will jump to the special 'Help' block, which is not a part of the main survey flow.
It is somewhat similar to TOC. But not entirely similar. The difference will be as follows:
After the respondent has reviewed 'Help', he should be able to return back exactly where he was before clicking 'Help' on the Sidebar.
The survey consists of several blocks.

This is how I would do it:

  1. make the help block it's own survey.

  2. use the look and feel to create a help button using JS. From there you have a couple of options: After you make your button and append it to the DOM, A.) (Use an as the innerHTML of your button. OR put an event listener on it. like: helpButton.addEventListener('click',()=>window.open([anon link to help]))).

  3. This will make it so a new tab opens up with the help block, and it would not interfere with the main survey.

I can circle back to help with that if you aren't familiar with JS. This will work, I am not leading you astray.

The help page (block) will have an option to submit a text message, which will be forwarded to the survey author (me) at my email address. I am concerned that it may be spammed by bots. I do not want to reveal my email address to respondents, either.

This is what I already have in my Look and Feel > Header:

What JS code should I add to create a clickable sidebar button for the entire survey?
Can I place the code to Look and Feel > Footer ?
