Dashboard: how to use an adhoc 'wave' field in widgets | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hey colleagues,
We have a question regarding an adhoc wave field created. This "wave" field works different depending of "role" field (embedded data), for the 2 types of roles we have: Role1 and Role2. The wave field has already created as follows. Also a screenshot how it has been defined in Qualtrics, basically as a "workflow" that adds this info once interview is finished.
Role1: First of each month - Last day of each month

  • January wave: from 1st Jan to 31st Jan. All January interactions are evaluated by Role1 (interviews completed) between 1st Jan to 31th Jan.

  • February wave: from 1st Feb to 28th Feb. ...

  • ...

  • December wave: from 1st Dec to 31st Dec. ...

Role2: Second of each month - First of each month.
  • January wave: from 2nd Jan to 1st Feb. All January rides are evaluated by passengers (interviews completed) between 2nd Jan to 1st Feb.

  • February wave: from 2nd Feb to 1st Marc

  • ...

  • December wave: from 2nd Dec to 1st Jan

Thanks!

You can add a dateTest column in a csv file by incrementing the dates or changing them depending on the problem.


hey SimQualtrics,
I've found a way to use the 'Display' options in dashboard to order manually:

Thanks!

For my part, I used an external database that I connected to the dashboard mapping. For what is data and analysis, it would probably be necessary to create a date in the surveyflow and generated test responses to see false data in data and analysis of a date variable that has been created in the survey flow. This date will be able to act as a variable in the graph after in your dashboard.


Thanks for the comments!
