For the signature question I would like to remove the ability to type your name (and have it generate a signature for you). The IRB I am working with requires that the person draw their signature

Hello Community,We are a new customer and we are working on an integration.  I would like to find out if there are customers who have successfully integrated Sup Orgs and used them as a parent child hierarchy (or level based hierarchy).   I am also interested in anyone who has passed secruity roles as basis for secruity in Qualtrics.We are working on design and testing now, but any prior confirmation of success/lessons learned/tips and tricks would be very helpful. Thank youJennifer 

How can we create a multi select option in drop down list ? I have a question where user have to select 3 answers from the dropdown list. As the list is big, I can not display all answers after question text.

HelloRecently a new issue occurred on one of our Digital Intercepts survey. The Intercept triggers ok, but when you click on ‘Provide Feedback’ Button survey is not launching. We have not changed anything in Qualtrics on our side of Set up. IT are saying there were no changes made that would affect intercept. Any ideas what could be wrong? anyone came across similar issue?Thanks Anna

I’m configuring SAML-based SSO in Qualtrics and have run into unexpected behavior around User Type Field mappings when a user belongs to more than one group.What worksSAML authentication is functioning correctly in a proof-of-concept. I can successfully log in as a Brand Administrator. In Qualtrics, User Type Field is mapped to the SAML attribute groups. I have User Type validation enabled, so only explicitly mapped values are accepted. A single group value (e.g. brand-admins) is mapped to the Brand Administrator role and works as expected.SAML assertion detailsWhen a user belongs to only one group, the SAML assertion contains a single value and authentication succeeds.When the user belongs to more than one group, the assertion looks like this (simplified):

Context: For a study, I have (together with ChatGPT) written an html and JavaScript code to display a panorama picture and allow users to click on the picture on places where they would take a swab. The code stores the coordinates of those swabs, as well as the order of the swabs, so I can later turn it into a heatmap for analysis. The code therefore stores two variables: the final stage with all swabs and an event log. I display this webpage using an iframe in a survey. Problem: The data is correctly stored in the JS variable and visible in the developer console of the webbrowser when previewing the survey. I want the data to be transferred to a Qualtrics Embedded Data variable upon going to the next page. However, I cannot manage to store that data in a Qualtrics Embedded Data variable. I currently have the following code for the specific question with the panorama iframe:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { l

I have a question regarding an update needed in one of the embedded data fields in our NPS survey.Currently, the embedded data follows a standard format (e.g., “ABC”), but due to a recent change, some responses are now being recorded as “#ABC”. As a result, in the CX Dashboard reporting, these values are being treated as two separate entries (“ABC” and “#ABC”**), which is impacting consistency.I’d like to understand how we can perform a historical update to standardize this—either by:Updating “#ABC” responses to “ABC”,I am aware that this might be possible via Postman/API, but I wanted to check:Has anyone handled a similar case before? Is there a recommended or more efficient approach within Qualtrics to address this?Any guidance or support would be greatly appreciated.

Context: I’m generating a React.js based form to provide a more aesthetic user experience/design, then pushing the results to Qualtrics via the Qualtrics API. The form requires e-signature for parent consent for a summer school program enrollment. Issue:I have been able to push all data through the API, except the <canvas> captured signature. The signature field is being sent, but it will show as the following:The code being sent for the signature question is in the following format:Payload: { "values": { // QID1 - 27 returns are working as intended "QID28": "data:image/png;base64,<canvas-image-string-here>" // Encoded Image String populates here }} Caveat:I can’t find a spec

Hi all, I am not well-versed in JS. However, I found some JS code online to add a vertical line to the qualtrics matrix, e.g., to set apart the "NA" option from other options (see code here: https://gist.github.com/marketinview/cd5d385d8803124078a0This code works for me when I implement it, but it stops working when I enable the "repeat headers" option. Any help on how to adapt the JS code so that it works with the "repeat headers" option enabled? Code is below:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var q = jQuery("#"+this.questionId); var cl = q.find('td.ColumnLabels:first'); if(cl.length > 0) cl.attr('colspan', cl.attr('colspan') - 1); if(q.find('div.desktop').length > 0) q.find('.last').css("border-left", "1px solid #BBBBBB");});

I am looking to create a calculated embedded data field that acts as a score/index for each looped through item in a loop and merge. See an example survey design below, where the respondent selects from a list of products to rate in the 1st block. The 2nd block then loops through each selected product with a series of 5 matrix statement questions. For each selected product, I want to output an index to an embedded data field that is named “[selected product] - Index Score”.​​​​​ So if all 3 of the available products were selected and rated, then 3 index score embedded data fields would be generated on the response, with dynamic field names based on the current loop.The scale labels then have scores assigned to them:Strongly disagree: 0 Somewhat disagree: 1 Neither agree nor disagree: 2

One of our programmers has coded a functional Javascript icon which welcomes users by displaying a cute little “waving robot” on the right side of their survey screen. That part is working fine.What we’d like to do is turn this tiny Javascript icon *off* for the custom end-of-survey question. Can anyone tell us how to disable an applet like this? -Rich  

Hi all, I'm using python to access the v3 API in Qualtrics. I'm having no problem using _responseexports_ to get the full response set of completed responses, but can't seem to find a REST API call to get information on in progress and responses that have not yet been started. This is a survey in which I generated individual links per respondent, but any API call to just get a list of partial responses and either the currently answered record or the recipient email / embedded data is all I need. I have the export of the links in a spreadsheet, and so even if I can programmatically get a list of users that have begun the survey would give me most of what I need to know. Any thoughts? It seems like this should be a core part of the API.

Greetings,Anyone have a workaround for titling a rich text widget in the results dashboard’s navigation pane? (Please see image.)Thanks!Chipper  Image: Navigation Pane in Results Dashboard 

I would really appreciate some help trouble-shooting a NoUISlider issue!Below I have my code pasted. I know most of the UI-oriented functions work properly (visually, the sliders look fine & function okay), but I’m having trouble doing saving the slider data to embeddeddata outcomes.  If anyone can see where I’m going wrong, I’d appreciate it.Note: the question in which these sliders are embedded uses carry-forward choices. IThere are only ever 6 answers (out of 7) visible, and I don’t include a slider for whatever answer selected on the previous Q (QID13). Embedded Data pos_1 to pos_7 are adjusted in a previous question to be =! NA based on one’s response (only 1 is ever = NA)Code:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {const quest = this;const qc = quest.getQuestionContainer();var ANSWER = "${q://QID13/SelectedChoicesRecode}";v

I am looking for a script that is similar to what is shown below for word count, but for character count instead. My JavaScript abilities are extremely limited and I have been unable to successfully adapt this script for character count.The goal is to be able to display the characters within a text entry box to the survey respondent.I am also interested in knowing if there is a way to modify the character count so that it includes (or excludes) spaces.Thank you for any advice/assistance.Here is the word count script I have previously used:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var q = jQuery("#"+this.questionId); var input = q.find(".InputText"); input.after("Word count: 0"); var display = q.find(".wordCount"); countWords(input.get(0)); input.on("input", function() { countWords(this) }); input.blur(function() { this.v

Hi everyone! I have x3 questions:Q1. Name of Coordinator (Text)Q2. Is the Coordinator the same person as the Supervisor? (Yes/No)Q3. Name of Supervisor (Text) Plan:Q3 should not be shown if the coordinator and supervisor are the same person (i.e. answer is YES).I have successfully used both display logic and survey flow to exclude it.What I am missing is for Q3 to be autofilled, with the answer from Q1, when skipped, so that the data is there when exported in excel. My survey is a bit longer than the above (multiple queries linked to the Coordinator and the Supervisor’s contact details etc) but the principle stays the same. I cannot figure it out based on previous answer on this forum, sorry!Mirko

Hi everyone, 👋Hope you’re all well.If possible, I am after some help to edit a signature question.This is what I currently have:This is what I am aiming for:I would also need the brushstroke to be white.As always, appreciate the support.Thanks :) 

Found a solution for but now I have a secondary issue.​@Tom_1842 wondering if you can help out here since it’s your code. I followed the steps you outlined in the above community post and it worked perfectly for the calendar question, hid the time interval, and I  love that it auto-closes the calendar once the date has been selected! But creates a secondary issue for me….When I have the JS on the calendar question it then does not allow my to type in the form fields found in Q2 (the JS is only on Q1 which is the calendar question). I removed the JS from Q1 and then previewed the survey again, it allowed me to type in the form fields in Q2, but as soon as I place the JS back on Q1 it inhibits me from filling out the form fields - interesting as it’s 2 totall

Hi Everyone! Here is a screenshot of what I'm working with. I would like to adjust the width of the question options. I have tried the HTML but some of the options are very long so I need the text to wrap at a certain width, ideally. Thank you for your assistance.

As context I am trying to have people put 3 numbers for each of a series of statements - for desktop respondents I could do this using Matrix text entry or Side-by-side with text entry, but neither display well on mobile (and Side-by-side has no ‘mobile friendly’ options at all).If I use Matrix text-entry, and select Position text above and Repeat Header=All, I get close, but I think its confusing to have the Column headers then the statement then the boxes. So I’m hoping for some javascript that can force the repeated headers to appear BELOW each statement as per the green mockup. If there are alternative ways to achieve the same thing (entering 3 numbers for each item) keen to hear about them also!  Current default formatting (Matrix text-entry + Position text above + Repeat Header=All):

Hi all. I have 2 questions and both are matrix table. Q1 is about the main services categories and let responant to give points say 1-5 and N/A. Q2 is the sub-categories of the main services and also let people to rate points. For example, in Q1, have several main services listed in matrix tables like Network; Helpdesk etc and each item people can rate 1 to 5 or N/A. in Q2, it is the sub services which related to the main services say WiFi, LAN, VPN etc for the main services “Network”. If responant rated 2 for Network in Q1, how to make this value “2” to become the default value of all statement (WiFi, LAN, VPN) in Q2? I hope you can imagine what I am talking about. thank you.

I’m sure this is straightforward but it’s been a while since I used Qualtrics and I can’t quite nail this. I want to hide the next button on a page unless a multiple choice question is selected. It only has one choice and so in effect acts as a checkbox. I found the following code which shows the next button if ticked but cannot get it to hide it again if the question is unticked. Any advice welcome, thanks.Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){ this.hideNextButton(); this.questionclick = function(event, element) { if (element.type == 'checkbox') { var choiceNum = element.id.split('~')[2]; if (choiceNum==1) {this.showNextButton();} else {this.hideNextButton()}}}}); 

HI,  I am working with a team member that wants to create a question that ask a Start Time and End time.  How do I achieve this?There is a “2 minutes with Qualtrics” video that says to use flapjack but no support for custom code.  Any suggest for start time and end time question that allows answers likeStart time 12:00pm End time 1:50pm

Hi everyone,I’m running an online study using a Qualtrics survey that includes a slider question ranging from $0 to $1200. Participants are asked to indicate a specific dollar amount by adjusting the slider.I’m concerned about the default behaviour, where the slider handle is initially anchored at $0. This requires participants to drag the handle across the scale, which may inadvertently introduce anchoring bias, participants might stay closer to $0 simply because of the starting position, rather than reflecting their true response.Ideally, I would like participants to be able to click or tap directly on any point along the slider track, so that the handle moves immediately to that position. They could then fine-tune their response if needed before proceeding.Is there a JavaScript workaround that enables click-to-plac

Hi All, In the Advanced Transform task (where you can write a python script) to manipulate the data, I would like to know how, like the code task, you can return a value or string that is available to use in a later tasks.  All the help (and bots!) say it’s possible using something like return { summary: summary_text } but this needs to be wrapped in a function() I believe. The other option is to use something like #print(SUMMARY=summary_text) This get’s to the log, which is a downloadable file but I’d like to pass this into the proceeding email task.  Every variants I’ve tried still won’t show it up in the piped text dropdown. Is this possible? Thanks Rod PestellPS there is no ‘Advanced Transform Task’ tag so had to select ‘Task’!
