Change in how digital feedback page views are counted in Qualtrics?

Does anyone know if there was a recent change in how page views are counted in Qualtrics for website feedback/app projects?I have a project where the website was well under the 10 million page views annual limit for the past 5 years, and all of a sudden in the last 4 months it’s gone over 10 million. The client’s internal web analytics don’t indicate any major change in traffic, average pages per visit, etc.

Enforce whole number in constant sum

Hi all,I'm using constant sum with "choices" type. I can enforce only min and max value; however, I also would like to enforce only whole number (0 decimal). There is this option in constant sum for both bars and sliders but why not choices? Anyone could help me with JavaScript custom code to enforce integers for all the choices when participants type in their answers? Thank you very much.Best,Bell

Using JavaScript to hide options in a side-by-side question but responses are not being recorded in the response summary?

Hello!I have a side-by-side question with 3 response columns. I am using JavaScript to initially hide all of the response options in column 2 and 3, and only revealing rows in column 2 and 3 when the same row in column 1 is selected. Here is what it looks like… It appears to be working like I wish, but there is a problem. Once the survey is completed and the respondent is able to view their response summary, it appears that all responses in columns 2 and 3 are not being recorded. This is what the response summary looks like… This is the JavaScript I have been using… Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {    const quest = this;    const qc = quest.questionContainer;    // Function to toggle visibility of target columns based on control column    const sbs_column_toggle = function (control_column, enable_option, target_columns) {        const control_options = qc.querySelectorAll(".Choice .SBS" + control_column);        const enable_column = control_options[enable_option - 1].cl

Display survey element conditionally based on weekly time delay

Hi! Thanks in advance for any help. I have a survey that users will return to each week over a 16 week period. I created a multiple choice menu with 16 options - one for each week - and branching for each “lesson” according to which option they select. Ideally, I want a user to only see “lesson 1” as a menu option during their first 7 days in the program. On the 8th day, I want them to see “lesson 1” and “lesson 2”, and so on through the end of the intervention, such that on day 106, they see all lessons, including “lesson 16”. I tried to accomplish this by using embedded variables based on adding X number of days to their STARTDATE variable, assigned at screening, ie: WEEKTWO = ${date://STARTDATE/c/+7%20day}With help from chatgpt, I then tried to use javascript to accomplish this time-delayed branching, but nothing has worked. Any ideas on how to accomplish my goal? Thank you so much!

Regex for custom validation

Hello, I am looking to create a validation for a text entry. It is always 8 characters long, starting with a letter. However, it will either be one of the following:1 letter and 7 numbers (e.g., A1234567) 2 letters and 6 numbers (e.g., AB123456) 3 letters and 5 numbers (e.g., ABC12345) 4 letters and 4 numbers (e.g., ABCD1234)I tried a few options, but none seemed to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Coding End of Survey Scoring

Dear all, I am designing a research survey on Qualtrics (basically a science quizz), and would like my respondents to know their score at the end of the survey, as an incentive for them to participate (who wouldn't want to know their score at the end of a quizz?)Unfortunately, the only Qualtrics scoring option reveals all the answers to the questions, which I want to avoid (I don't want the answers to the quizz to be leaked/shared by everyone). Is there a way through coding to only reveal them a % of correct answers per topic (my 20-question quizz is split into four blocks). Or just to give them their score out of 20? Or even to give them a range to know whether they did well/bad, etc. Basically anything that does not reveal them all the answers but provides them with instant feedback would be appreciated. Best Regards

Qualtrics makes custom HTML code disfunctional

Hi all! I wanted to share my issue with HTML code in Qualtrics and ask if anyone has any tips.I wrote a custom HTML / Javascript code that creates tables and graphs on a question. I paste HTML and Javascript code scripts from my laptop to HTML and Javascript editors, respectively. Javascript code works fine and stays intact in the Javascript script editor in Qualtrics. However, when I paste HTML code, 9 out of 10 times Qualtrics reduces the code and makes it dysfunctional. Please see below my HTML code and its edited version by Qualtrics.Context: (1) I put “<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>” in the header of the survey, (2) I do use Text / Graphic format a question, and do use HTML and Javascript editors separately for HTML and Javascript code (I do not paste and Javascript code into the HTML editor).The tips I found somewhat useful so far: after pasting the code from my laptop, I edit the code a little bit (e.g. add a

Reuse randomly assigned image throughout survey

I’m new to qualtrics, and I would like to set up a survey that is essentially a series of questions about one image (showing the same image with each different question). I would like the image to be selected from a large set (such that each image is seen roughly the same number of times across all the surveys), but the questions to be the same and in the same order for every respondent. I would also like to record which image was shown in the survey. Is there a straightforward way of setting this up?I’ve tried adding a couple images to my library and putting the urls into a loop and merge field, but I’m not sure how to make the piped text show up as an image, or how to make sure that the image is the same for each question in the survey.Also, I’m looking to have over 1000 images in the dataset--is there an easier way than uploading all of them and pasting in urls individually?

Matrix Carousel multi-select- limit choices

I have a question set up to be a matrix table displayed as a carousel. The scale points are multiselect, but I want respondents to only be able to select up to 3 scale points. Can’t find a current functionality for this when a matrix question is in the carousel format, and with 14 statements would prefer overly complex custom validation.

Simple Layout - Replicate the text input of a text entry question to a hidden text entry question

Hello everyone, I have posted this a week ago and it worked, unfortunately it does not work when using simple layout. I have a text entry question (old), I will add 3 new text entry questions based on the NPS question (Promoters, Passives, Detractors). Each time only 1 out of the 3 new questions will be shown to the respondents. The old one should be hidden. I want to hide the old question and replicate the input text from any of the 3 new questions to the hidden one. I want to keep the old question there because of export and TextIQ reasons @TomG suggested the ideal solution for this scenario but I would like to make this code to fit when using simple layout. This is the code added to the hidden question:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {   jQuery(this.questionContainer).hide();});Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() {   jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").val(jQuery(".InputText:first").val());}); I am still not able to hide the question nor replicate the

How to integration Qualtrics EX with SuccessFactors to distribute Pulse surveys

We plan to build an EX platform with the goal of initially establishing a Pulse program. Subsequently, 360 feedbacks are also on the plan. But let's focus on Pulse Surveys first. The employee data should be integrated from SuccessFactors.I've searched the community posts and documentations for answers, but unfortunately haven't found a clear process model for a project like ours - especially on the integration part. Therefore, I would like to  share my thoughts and hope for the evaluation of experienced EX colleagues. My main question to kick-off is: What is the best way to integrate SuccessFactors employee data to Qualtrics? I have found two ways to do this: (1) Pull approach: regular workflow (e.g. daily) to extract data via predefined SuccessFactors action.https://www.qualtrics.com/support/de/survey-platform/actions-page/etl-workflows/data-extractor-tasks/extract-data-from-successfactors-task/?rid=cookie&prevsite=en&newsite=de&geo=&geomatch=Combined with workflow act

Tip - When a field value doesn't show in an email task

 Hi all, This is just an observation and something that I don’t believe is documented clearly in the Qualtrics support pages.  I’ve also had a reply from the Qualtrics support team on this but as of yet they haven’t decided if they are going to fix it(!). If you use a task in a workflow which creates a field with a bracket or parenthesis in , it can’t be used in the email task.  The recommendation is not to use brackets in the name of a field.  Wise words!  :D Thanks Rod PestellShowing below that in the resultant Email the Created_Date_(DT_only) does not show up in the email but the ‘Result’ from the code task does.  I can confirm that removing the brackets from the field name then lets the fields show up in the email.  Fixed:

Drawing words without replacement from an Embedded Data list over loops

Hello,My question is: Why the JS code does not work to pick and/or display the drawn word in the question?With my current script, the question container appears but empty, it looks like there is no communication between the script and the embedded data field… I don’t know if the issue comes from the words writing in the embedded fields, or else. My goal is to draw one word randomly without replacement at each loop from an embedded list of words based on the initialWordList:The wordlist field is equal to initialWordList – drawnList, so at the beginning the wordlist contains all the words of initialWordList, and supposed to be emptied over loops.The drawnList field is supposed to store all the drawn words picked at each loop in wordList. So at the beginning the drawnList is empty, and supposed to be filled over loops. FYI: the wordlist and the drawnList are supposed to be kept updated within and between participants, until the wordlist is empty and the drawnList is full.

Elements of Javascript don’t show in published version of the survey

Hello!I am working on a survey, within the survey I use HTML and Javascript code to generate a scatter plot where participants should input points (two points connected with a line), and a Reset Graph button. The published version of the survey works correctly ONLY in Safari when I’m logged into Qualtrics, it shows both the scatter plot and the Reset Graph button. If I open the survey literally anywhere else (chrome, Firefox, other computers), the published version only shows the Reset Graph button, NOT the scatter plot. I tried to recreate a new project using the final Javascript / HTML code version, and looked into the settings of the survey, however, I could not resolve the issue. Can somebody please help me figure out what’s going on? Thank you!I attach JS / HTML code, and two screenshots of published versions where the scatter plot shows and doesn’t show - below:HTML:<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport"

creating surveys in bulk / importing qsf files at scale

Hi everyone, Is there a way of creating surveys from .qsf files in bulk? I have a large number of qsf files that get created programmatically. I would like to create individual surveys based on all of these. Is there a way of doing this without creating each survey in qualtrics first and then importing the qsf file one at a time? Any advice would be much appreciated.:)

Generating survey questions from CSV data

Does anyone have any experience with generating a .qsf file (or otherwise automatically creating questions for a project) from csv data?I have a project which requires a survey with questions of the same exact template, differing only in one word. Any time I upload a .qsf file generated with custom python code I reliably get a data validation error, having made sure there are no special characters and that the code is valid JSON. Of course the problem lies in the custom code generation (as importing, say, a .qsf file I just exported from the online tool works). My question is, how do folks normally go about generating monotonous questions from data?For extra information, the nature of the project is collecting data on human ratings of gender association for a set of words (in the csv). There are a couple of hundred, so I plan on creating subsets, and then generating a survey from those subsets.I am not married to a custom solution at all; an API call solution would be great too.Thanks!
