Currently, we are working on a large international survey with grant funding and was told that Qualtrics can provide resources in survey writing and data analysis that is superior to other forms we are used to (e.g. surveymonkey & google forms). We are working with a broad Q-sort structure in our surveys. Robert Guzman (the Qualtrics Product Specialist) said that we would need to get into the code or talk to support communities to find answers to our questions. We are hopeful you can help.
We are making a survey question with multiple “topics” that we want the participant to sort into “buckets” (i.e. groups). We need the “topics” to expand when the participant’s mouse hovers over the “topic”. We also (and here is the hard part) need to let the participant DEFINE the bucket WHILE they sort. If they define the bucket right after the sorting activity, that is fine as well, but we need the buckets to be associated with the definitions they give for the buckets. For example, we will give them topics A,B,C,D,E,F,and G and ask them to put them into buckets X,Y,and Z in ways that they see similar topics. We want them to be able to see an example of A and a further description of A easily (hence the hovering) and then we also want them to define X,Y, and Z so we can see:
- How they sorted them
- How they defined the sorting buckets.
Does anyone know a way to make this happen?
Can anyone help us with javascript code to make this possible?
