Custom Code

Hello! I have a script to collect the acceleration of a respondents phone that I would like to add to my survey, but my knowledge of Javascript is limited. What am I missing to make the connection between collecting this information and appending it to my data? The original script is: { var start = now(); function SurveyMotion(e) { this.acceleration = new Object(); if (e.accerleration !==null) { this.acceleration.x = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(e.accerlation.x,2)+ Math.pow(e.acceleration.y,2)+ Math.pow(e.acceleration.z,2)).toFixed(2); this.acceleration.g = abs(Math.sqrt(Math.pow(e.accelerationIncludingGravity.x,2)+ Math.pow(e.accelerationIncludingGravity.y,2)+ Math.pow(e.accelerationIncludingGravity.z,2))-   9.80665).toFixed(2); this.acceleration.t = Math.round(now() - start); } else { this.acceleration.x = null; this.acceleration.g = null; } thi

I have a survey to which I've added some Javascript: Participants can use an "add button" and a "remove button" to decide how many groups they which to group the list of items into, by adding and removing groups as they wish. You can see how it works here https://samgu.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_czQxglGYSFUQ6zQ The problem is that when an item has been added to a group, and a participant decides to remove that group, the items that have been added to that group stays in that group, hidden. So, when they hit the "add button" the perviously chosen items appear in that group again. I wish instad that all items that are in a group that is removed are thrown back into the list of items again. Is it somehow possible to use Javascript to move items in a way that could help me with this problem? Current html:

Hi there, I have added the meta info question to my survey. I would like to use some of this meta data in a custom javascript function. Does anyone know how to reference the meta info question?

Hi all!The basis of my questionnaire is that participants will watch a video and then answer questions about the video. The video files are too large to host in Qualtrics, so I created a website on Wix to host the videos. I would like to be able to direct users to the video link on Wix, have them watch the video, and then return to Qualtrics to complete the survey. I did not want to put the videos on Youtube, because of the ads.

Hi,Have a question where I am trying to use a simple javascript on the question like:this.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(1,true)This works for me when the question is a single select.This works for me when it is a multi-select but using list view.It fails with no error report is it is a multi-select with listbox view. Does anyone have this working in that setup at all? Seems like a potential platform bug to me.The list is a couple hundred options long so I can't just switch to list view to solve it. Thanks!

I want to remove this grey highlight (or border?) from text entry questions when they are focused on. Trying to give it my own highlight using css gives no results which is leading me to believe that this is some sort of inline style that is overwriting my own custom styles. I have tried as many things I can think of to remove it but to no avail. If you guys have any insight into this tricky/annoying highlighting of this question type, I would greatly appreciate it!

My supervisor is a neonatologist and we are conducting a research study through Qualtrics about how people understand premature birth outcome information. As part of that, we present a series of 10 graphics in randomized blocks.He wants to be able to number these graphics, so that participants clicking through these pages know how many out of 10 they have seen. However, because the blocks of these images are randomized, I cannot simply insert text or another graphic in the survey builder (e.g. the graphic I labeled as "7" might appear 1st). I know it is probably an unorthodox feature - does anyone have any suggestions?

As in the title, I want to get the times when a user first starts typing something into an input box. And I want to do this for every input box in the question page.I know how to access inputText—you could usejQuery(".InputText")but the problem is, I have two input texts on the same page, and it seems like jQuery .InputText doesn't differentiate between the two.So I tried the following, but the input1time and input3times 'saved' to my data spreadsheet are empty. In fact, the two codes/functions don't even run, as I've tried printing out to the console from both those functions (and nothing showed). How could I fix this? var choice1entered = false; var input1time; this.getChoiceValue(1).onkeydown = function() { if (!choice1entered) { input1time = Date.now(); choice1entered = true; } }; var choice3entered = false; var input3time; this.getChoiceValue(3).onkeydown = function() { if(!

Hi all,Self-proclaimed jscript noob here, so hoping you can help me out. I'm using a Loop and Merge to get responses from a group of students on what classes they want to request. The looped block has two questions. The first question asks for the Department via MC dropdown:Then I have a Page Break so that the second question can use the response above as a Default Choice:The Department field on the second question populates with the Selected Choice from the first question. I've made the first field Read Only as well via jscript so they can't change it.This has been working fine, except I want respondents to be able to use the back button and return to the first question (Department dropdown) if they realize they have changed their minds.

Hi! I have a side-by-side question with display logic displaying a varying number of rows. I would like for respondents to respond to each row that is displayed (but obviously they cannot respond to rows that are not displayed). Unfortunately, unless all rows are displayed and respondents make a selection for each of them, they are not able to proceed. Is there a way to address this?

Hello allI am creating a survey consists of 10 questions, and I would like to add a questions right at the end with Auto-check boxes of Yes/No when a certain conditions are met.If the user answered all questions, the Yes box is autochecked, and if user missed any question, then the NO box is autochecked.Is this possible? ThanksShuang.

Hi all,Looking for code or validation instructions for how to make sure that the rankings entered into the vertical text box do not contain ties. Couldn't find anything on the community so far, so hopefully this will help someone out in the future!Thanks!

Our use case: We will be sending out personalized links to the majority of respondents; however, many will receive a hard-copy mailer w/ the anonymous link. Ideally they will have their ID and be able to authenticate; however, some may not. In this case, we'd like to have an "I don't have my ID" button, link, something to allow them to skip the authentication and go straight to the survey (with nothing pre-populated). I've been trying to work in some javascript (in our header) to make it so they don't have to put something in the authenticator fields (otherwise it says "Please answer this question.") just to get it to say "unable to login" and skip to the blank survey, but I can't get it to work (and I'd rather have a more streamlined approach).

I have some multiple choice questions and would like to show participants their own choices after the questions.I noticed that this can be done with piped text. However, I wonder if we can customize the display of slected choice. For example, the question can have 10 options, each of which is somehow wordy, and instead of showing all the options people chose, we only displayed something like "option 1, option 5, option 7, option 9" etc.I found an ugly solution to this by using branch if in survey flow. But for some reason I want the question page and the display page in the same block so I can't insert branch if in between them.Does anyone have any suggestions on how to achieve this?

I want to present serveral job descriptions to each participant and let them provide some ratings. But the serveral job descriptions are from a very big dataset (maybe consists of 500 job descriptions in total). So what I want is to randomly present 4 or 5 descriptions to each participant, and serveral identical questions follow every job description. I don't know how to implement this wisely... What i know for now is to creat 500 independent blocks and randomly present 4 or 5 of them to each participant, this would be a disaster....😨Please, any advices or suggestions would be appreciated🤞!

Hi community!I have an embedded data field, high_string of the form: "2: Pickles, 4:dog., 5: bottle, 13: rainbow."I need to set a new embedded data field, string_length that captures the wordcount (ignoring numbers) of this field (i.e., in the example above, it should be 4 since it's "pickles", "dog", "bottle" & "rainbow"). Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks!I don't know JS or regex, but I know it'll involve both. I suspect Qualtrics.setEmbeddedData & str.split

Hello!I am working on my Master thesis about assessment of music exams. The first part of the study will consist on asking examiners questions about how they judge final exams in general and how they weigh different criteria when determining their final assessment. I would like to create a survey in which they move sliders to give a score to the criteria. From the score recorded in the slider a weight that is relative to the other criteria would be calculated. So I am interested in seeing the weight each criterion has for the examiners relative to the other criteria.  To be more precise, I would like them to use a slider where they can record the respective score for a criterion, and automatically at the right of the slider, have the relative weight (percentage) of the criterion appear. This way, the participant can see how much they assigned to a specific criterion, and therefore assign scores to a criterion relatively to the other criteria. I attached a d

Hello, I would like to incorporate some cognitive tasks into Qualtrics. In order to do so, participants have to be provided with a direct feedback after each response (correct or error). Does anybody know how could I access to this option in Qualtrics? Is it possibly using Java Script?Thanks in advance!

I have built a simple experiment that requires participants to make a judgement on a photograph. They press on of three buttons (J, K or L) and the page moves on to the next photograph. I use the following code to advance the page with the keys and hide the submission button. However, Qualtrics is not recording the key pressed as a response/answer (J, K or L). The questions are multiple choice questions. Is there a simple mistake anybody else can see in this code or in the questions that i cannot see? Do i need to code values within the answers? Please help! Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){this.hideNextButton();this.hidePreviousButton();var that = this;Event.observe(document, 'keydown', function keydownCallback(e) {var choiceID = null;switch (e.keyCode) {case 74: // 'J' was pressedchoiceID = 1;break;case 75: // 'K' was pressedchoiceID = 2;break; case 76: // 'L' was pressedchoiceID = 3;b

Hi Qualtrics Community,I'm hoping that someone will be able to support in the following scenario: Survey last question is set up as a dropdown with "yes" or "no" options. If "yes" is selected, hoping to have the entire block of questions repeated again for end user to add another entry before submission. Qualtrics support was able to provide guidance on survey flow, however the problem with survey flow is that the blocks end up on different pages. I would need the end user to review all of the information before submission so I will need all blocks they fill out to be on the same page. Another problem is that there is no option to have "infinite" amount of entries based on their dropdown selection. The end user will only be able to fill in as many entries as the number of blocks I've set up in the survey flow. See the tutorial for the set up from Qualtrics support here: https://share.getcloudapp.com/NQugB8nn

I have created a Rank Order question using the text box response type for a series of sentences. It appears fine in the editor but in Preview/Published mode the longer sentences become unaligned from the text boxes (ie. The sentence appear below the appropriate box rather than alongside it).

I am working with a survey that includes a bipolar matrix question with 100+ rows. To improve the user experience, I'd like to have that particular question only display one row at a time and auto-advance after a selection is made. (I do not want this to apply to any other questions in the survey).Qualtrics support said this needed custom code and I should post my question here. Has anyone made this type of code or could you point me toward someone/somewhere that I might get it?Any help is much appreciated.

Hi all - we would like to have customers upload a file, and then would like to rename that file based on the answer to another question on the survey - does anyone have a sense if that is possible using custom code?If so, how might we think about doing that?Thanks for any insight and advice!

Hi all, I'm creating an experiment that requires participants to categorise a photograph. Each question is currently presented in a different block. Each block contains a picture, a multiple choice question, and a timing question (stimulus presentation is 2 seconds). I would like to hide the multiple choice question/answer options, and have participants respond via keyboard press (rather than by selecting the answer with via the mouse). I have the below code, although this does not seem to work. Does anyone notice any errors here? Under which question (within the block, e.g. picture, MCQ or timing question) should I place this code? As the stimulus presentation is 2 seconds, I do not want to advance to the next page after the keyboard press. TIA for the help.Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){this.hideNextButton();this.hidePreviousButton();var that = this;Event.observe(document, 'keydown', function keydownCallback(e) {var ch

Hi! Someone else already asked this question, but they never posted what the solution to the problem was, so I figured I'd ask again. I have a several Text Entry questions with more then one text field. Each question asks about the same topic but in a different situation, so survey respondents could enter the same answer into the Text Entry fields across multiple questions. Using Display Logic, the answers to these many questions are then piped into a single Pick, Group & Rank question for survey respondents to do just that.For this to work properly for the outputs I require, I need any duplicate responses piped from all of the Text Entry questions to ONLY be presented as a SINGLE option in the Pick, Group & Rank question. As an example:If a survey respondent were to enter "IBM" 4 times into different Text Entry questions, I currently receive 4 s
