Combining Essay Box Survey Content to Dashboards and Reports | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi everyone,

This is a question that will likely require to different implementations.

I have text box / essay box questions within my survey that I’d like to combine into my Dashboard Reports, and the Survey Reports. Reason - I want to output the full guest survey result as one row of output. I know in survey flow you can create Embedded Data and combine piped text, but the formatting is limited for output. I’ve tried extra spaces, multiple <br> elements, and the combined text is still a run on of results, rather than paragraph breaks.

This combined information is more important for the Survey / Reports, as I want to be able to combine each individual survey submission to start with the survey submission first name, then date, then the 3 open text fields, so that it is easier for our Guest Services team to see the submissions via a weekly automated report.

Hope this makes sense. Any help/suggestions is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Aaron

you can try the concat feature in the field editor.


Thanks. Do you know if there is something we can use to add a line break within the delimiter?


No, that’s not possible.
