Custom Code

Hello! I need to track the amount of time a participant spends on each question, but the questions have to be randomized for my experiment. I know that randomizing questions breaks the functionality of the timing question, so I was wondering if there’s any way to code the time tracking for each question using javascript? Thanks!

Hi,I’m creating a workflow that gets triggered for every new survey submission to send data (of that submission only) to an external service using the WebService task. This works fine using Piped Text in the json payload to the external service. But this way I have to extract each answer separately with a piped text statement.Now I’m looking for a way to send all answers from a single survey submission at once, so that I don’t have to enter each field separately as a Piped Text item. For my use case, almost any json schema will do, as long as it contains the question IDs and corresponding answers.Is there a way to do this? For example, is there a piped text statement that contains all survey data as a json blob? Or is there a way to iterate over all questions/answers in a javascript Code task so that I can construct a suitable javascript return object?Cheers,Mark 

I am currently working on automating the retrieval of survey responses to Qualtrics through their API. However, I am encountering an issue where the responses are being duplicated. Are there any methods or best practices within Qualtrics to prevent or remove duplicate responses? Any guidance or suggestions to resolve this duplication issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!  

Hello,I am trying to figure out how to track the number of clicks to the survey Qualtrics link. Any recommendations on how to track this in Qualtrics or external sites that can help me track? For example I need to be able to report that the link was clicked X times over a week.Thanks,Deahna

I have a custom JavaScript and need to apply to all question in the block. Every question must be shown in a different page.I have a large 350 of blocks and respondents will be randomize into one block. Each block has 8 questions. To insert the JavaScript code in each question is unfeasible. What would be the solution? This is the code, when inserted in a single question:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){        jQuery("#"+this.questionId).find('.QuestionText:first').css("padding-bottom", "0px");    var attWidth = 35; //percent width for the question column    var altWidth = 32.5; //percent width for the alternatives column    var cols = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" tr.Answers").children();    cols.attr("width", altWidth+"%");    cols.first().attr("width", attWidth+"%");        choice_table = this.getChoiceContainer();    new_row = choice_table.insertRow(2);    

Hello to everyone.I’m working on a feedback survey for internal IS services. The survey is integrate with ServiceNow that is passing closed ticket data like short description, ticket number etc. through embedded data.In the survey there’s a multiple choice that should be populated with these data, the Short description for the text and the ticket number for the value. I wrote some Javascript but I got stuck here because I have no idea on how to add the options. var ticket0desc = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getJSEmbeddedData('ticket_0_shortdesc'); var ticket0number = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getJSEmbeddedData('ticket_0_number'); var container = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getInstance(this.questionId).getQuestionContainer();Maybe the multiple choice it’s not the best option, any suggestion is welcomed :)Thanks in adavance.

Hi everyone,I have a Vimeo video embedded in one of my survey questions. I want to accomplish two things: (1) pause the video when the window is no longer visible (tabbed away, minimized window); and (2) I would like Qualtrics' 'Next Button' to not appear until the video has ended.    const player = new Vimeo.Player('myvideo');    player.on('ended', function() { //this appears to be how the Vimeo API documentation recommends performing some function when a video ends      this.showNextButton() //not doing anything. I strongly suspect this is where I messed up.    });document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", () => {  if (document.visibilityState !== 'visible') {

Hey, I have an issue I'm trying to resolve and past solutions in that matter didn’t help wellin my survey, there is a picture of 2 machines presented as the question and the participants need to choose either left or right.I tried to fix the alignment of the radio buttons using costume HTML and CSS codes unsuccessfully.I just want to align properly the radio buttons to fit underneath the picture.  and to make sure this alignment holds even if I'm using a mobile phone and not a laptop etc.link to the picture itself. 

Hi there, I know there's been a lot of discussion on adding the mouseover feature to the question, but I haven't been able to find a solution for adding this feature over the choice field. I'm trying to figure out how to add a hover/mouseover textbox in a Matrix table so that when a user hovers over the choices, they can see the definition associated with that particular text. The reason for this is some of the choices will contain definitions that people may not be familiar with so I'd like for them to be able to hover over that particular text, and see the definition. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, I have made a survey using a series of graphic questions with a hotspot. The participant clicks the hotspot of the option they prefer. I have the graphics and hotspot for each question but would like each of the questions that I have to either flip to show a different option or have an arrow which the participant can click on to show another option does anyone have some javaScript to do that please?

Imagine that you have a long list of words and want to ask the following question: What do you think of <RandomWord>? One way you could do this is to have 10,000 different questions each with the text "What do you think of Apple" "What do you think of Cat?" etc... However, then you would get back a data file that had 10,000 null fields and just one field with an answer. Worse yet, if you asked for timeing you would get back 50,000 + null fields and Qualtrics will not export that many fields. Another, much better way to do it, would be to generate the question on the fly and then just have one question that had different text each time it was asked. The first is the default in Qualtrics, and there does not seem to be a way to do the second. Does anyone have an idea on how to do the second choice.

I increased the height of the progress bar but the color fill size remains default.How do I make sure colour updates the full bar?

Hello, I’ve no idea how to center the password text and box. As I’ve expanded the margins of the survey globally to 65%,  it’s appearance is a bit awkward. Any suggestions are welcome. 

Hello,I’d like partipants to answer “ first 2 letter of first name” & ‘first 3 letter of last name’ in the from field. How can I validate so that they can only enter 2 letters and 3 letters on that field? (new to the field) Thank you! 

I’m using the flat layout and would like to reduce the space between the footer and the question container. Is there a way to do this?  

I try to read through any previous answers to same/similar questions but coming from non technical background. I just can’t get it to work so apologies in advance.Issue:When multi line essays are triggered as email, no formatting is preserved. I saw may threads on using java script but I tried copying and pasting with no avail. Example, in the email sent, it will look like this and is very hard to read:Ticket type: Service Request Priority: 4 Assignment Group: MM Training Description: BASIC INFO Open on behalf of: Smith, John Contact number for ticket: (222) 333-3333Alternate number: (555) 555-7777 What is happening?: phone is broken department: mall role?: CSN: Would love help with what custom code I can use (assuming the question is Q3) and do I add it to the question java script? or have to create another question. Also, for the email trigger, to I pipe “ ${q://QID3/QuestionText}”?Thank you!

Hi There,I'm almost there, but I just cannot figure out the last part. I want to get the value from the embedded data field and let it select a multiple choice answer option for ONLY question: QID1215751872. The issue is that the below input jQuery works, but it then fills all questions on the page with answer code 1.I just want to target that one QID. The bottom two jQuery's seem to not work. How can I target one QID and select a certain choice id? Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function () {    var PullEmbData = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData('Filter1');    console.log("Answer is:" + PullEmbData)        if (PullEmbData = 'PulledValue') {        jQuery('input[choiceid=1]').prop('checked',true);    };        //jQuery('#' + this.questionId + 'input[choiceid=1]').prop('checked',true);     //jQuery('#QID1215751872 input[choiceid="1"]').prop('che

Hi, I have 2 queries when using a drill down question box:Firstly: Is it possible to have a other + free text option? Eg:Q1. Name the countries and cities you have visited to?Country: Australia City: Sydney, Melbourne or 'Other - please state:'There would then be a free text box to complete.Secondly, I would like to add conditions so that respondents can add further answers to the same question. So if they provide a response, the question would repeat and they could answer same country, different city OR another country, again with various cities as options, plus the free text. This would continue until they no longer provide a further answer.If they didn't respond with anything to the first Q1 , then they would go onto the next question.Thank you!

I have a very long dropdown list in a loop.  The number of loops is defined by a user-entered value. I would like the dropdown selection from each loop to be presented to the user after the loop is complete (to act as a confirmation of their selections).How do I carry forward the values and create this confirmation list of selections?Thanks!

I’m playing around with the setJSEmbeddedData function, and here is a line of code in addOnLoad:However, after I preview my survey, nothing got set in my survey flow:even after I changed the field name to __js_MyData. Does anyone know what’s wrong with what I did?

Can someone help me with javascript?I need to add code in a comment in surveyIf question q1 had a score <=6 make this question mandatory, otherwise make optional.

Hello,For my survey I need the participants to "shop" in an online store environment to prime them regarding certain attitudes.I tried to build something similar to the screenshot. But this is only possible to a limited extent with the current question types in qualtrics. Therefore I am wondering if there might already exist an online store template? Or has anyone done something similar before? If yes, how did you implement it? Greetings, Clara

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {  jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" li.Selection").last().prev().css({"border-top":"2px solid #aaa","padding-top":"10px"});});I used this code, however it applied the line to the last group. I want the line to be above an option that is not in a group. See Image below - as you can see, Partners in Care and Volunteer are 2 groups - with contents - However, home is not in a group and I need the line to go above that, please. 

hi!I am using flatpickr to collect hours and minutes in my text field. example of the survey to collect hh:mm on time spent on an activity the JS I have Although I have enforced a maxTime, but I received responses outside this range, as seen in screenshot below (data export in csv): I realised that the issue could be the format it was export, as i clicked into individual cell, I saw this:

I have been calculating the difference between two dates using moments.js. The code runs but not consistently across participants. There seems to be some concern on other forums, including the moments.js site, that it is not the best for current browsers. It seems however on this forum that moments is still recommended as the best option. Keen for your thoughts @TomG, given I have been following your excellent recommendations on this.Thanks in advance
