Hi All. I have 10 images being randomly shown in a block, one per page (by inserting image based questions). I now want to add an overlaid caption over each image where each caption comes from a shuffled list [1-10]. I know how to overlay text on an image, I just don't know to how to add a item from a shuffled list. I presume I use javascript to shuffle an array of 10 items and then for each question simply overlay the array[i] item on the image. Any ideas about where to put the javascript and how to embed it in the richtext html?

Hi everyone,I need to send an intercept box in an email to some customers, hyperlinking it to a survey in Qualtrics. I am able to create an intercept, but the snippet I am given cannot be used as a hyperlink. That said, I have a couple of questions:1- can this be done?2- can Qualtrics save the respondents' data (such as name and email)?I wanted to avoid using anonymous links because I wanted to capture the respondent's data without needing to ask themThanks,Denise

In one of my surveys I have sliders, where I present above the slider the value on the slider, plus the maximum value of the slider minus the value of the slider itself (i.e. the value of the slider if you were to start from the right side). This is because the slider is serving as an allocation of some fixed amount of money between two individuals. I was able to implement this with the below: `Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() { var s = jQuery("#"+this.questionId); var result=0; var otherend=0; var firstclick=0; s.find(".handle").hide(); s.find(".track").on("click", function() { s.find(".handle").show(); firstclick=firstclick+1; }); jQuery(".Skin").mousemove(function () { if (firstclick < 1) { jQuery(".result").html(0); jQuery(".otherend").html(0); } else if (firstclick>=1) { result = jQuery(".ResultsInput").val(); otherend = 100 - result; jQuery(".result").html(result); jQuery(".otherend").html(otherend); }; }); });` Ho

I guysI created a question with 2 buttons inside and i would like to send user to Block 1 if Button 1 is pushed and to Block 2 if Button 2 is pushedDo you think is it possible and how?

Hi everyone. I would like to link a Qualtrics survey with a Twitter application but I don't know where to start. In particular, at the end of the survey participants would be asked to give authorization/login using their Twitter credentials, and then the app would perform an action for them (e.g., post a Tweet for them). Any idea of how to do this, what documentation should I read? Thanks!

Hi, I'm making in survey in which I'm trying to measure different rating scales. I want to compare 3 versions of a scale:One version where the response buttons should be replaced with emoji's, and without labels on the side. I'm able to do make this version by using horizontal multiple choice questions. One version where the response buttons should be emoji's but it should be accompanied by text labels as in the second picture. One version where the response buttons should be 1-7 instead of radio buttons. Is there anyone who knows how to do this? Thanks!

In Workflows, WebService: Authenticated task, an external endpoint is used to send survey data across another application. In the Test section, it is working successfully when "Run test" is clicked. Authentication is working during the test run. However, it would fail on the actual run. It returns { "name": "ACTIONS.ERROR_CODES.AUTHORIZATION_ERROR", "message": "403 - {\\"meta\\":{\\"httpStatusCode\\":403,\\"requestId\\":\\"f71a6e14-095f-46c2-a344-875ff4ca5220\\"},\\"error\\":{\\"errorCode\\":\\"CSC_0.0\\",\\"", "needRetry": false}Any thoughts?

Hi, We are new to this and my question is probably very basic. We are using moment.js to calculate a time period based on a user's response. The browser console.log shows that moment.js is calculating the days correctly, but we are not able to access the data that we set. How do we call these dates that we set as embedded variables in subsequent blocks as piped text in a question? It this not possible? I don't think we have successfully called up an embedded variable that we set with javascript so I think there is something that we are not understanding.We would like a subsequent question later in the survey to include the earliestDay and latestDay variables in the question.var daysAgoo = "${q://QID47/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}";var today = moment();var monthFromToday = moment(today).add(1, 'months');var targetDate = moment(monthFromToday).subtract(daysAgoo, 'days');var earliestDay = moment(targetDate).subtract(6, 'days');var latestDay = moment(targetDate).add(6, 'days');targetDate=

Greetings,My matrix start with the same phrase ("I am..."), and I would like to be bolded and placed on the upper left corner when the matrix displays. Because we have a long matrix, we are repeating the scale points (i.e. repeat headers). Following the guidance from this post (https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/593/how-can-i-add-text-above-the-statements-in-a-matrix-table), I was able to come up with the code below that does the majority of what I need:var cell=jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" td.c1:first");cell.css("text-align","left");cell.css("font-weight", "bold");cell.html("My manager/supervisor…");However, I need to repeat it whenever the headers are repeated (about every 7 statements?), and I need to make the text larger too. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.Best,

I have a Loop & Merge question that is timed (participants see an single image on their screens that automatically switches to another every 8 seconds using timer). I want them to not see a previous or a next button during this process. I have read that the JS function below does not work in timed questions and can confirm it did stop working once I added the Timer. Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {  $('NextButton').hide();  $('PreviousButton').hide();});I did found a workaround where you can add the timer for auto-advance and then add a delay for the next button for a longer period (i.e. auto-advance 8 seconds; delay for next button 10 seconds) which means the participants move forward automatically without ever seeing the next button. However, this does not prevent the previous button from appearing. How can I also prevent the previous button from showing on a looped timed question?Thank you 😊

Hello Experts,I am trying to integrate Qualtrics Email Survey with SAP SuccessFactors Mentoring. To set up the integration, a business rule is required which should have association with corresponding ISC event. However, the relevant business rule scenario  - ISE_RULE_MentoringProgramMatchedParticipant is not available. As a result, I am not able to complete the set up. Could you kindly provide some guidance on how to proceed? Really appreciate your help.ThanksShalini

Hello, I have Question 1 with two options: Account or Partner. If you choose Partner you get a list in another question with Partner A, B, C etc. I then have a 3rd question that everyone sees despite what they choose for Account or Partner but I can't pipe in both values. My end result is if they pick Account from Q1 I want Account to be piped into my 3rd question "Thank you for choosing Account". If they select Partner and then Partner A from the next list then populate "Thank you for choosing Partner A".I have seen some Java script but I am new and don't completely understand the examples enough to write a modified version. Thanks for the help.

Hi there,Has anyone got any advice to customise a matrix table, so that only ONE cell in the whole table can be selected? I have tried changing the name of all the radio buttons to be the same, however this is not having any affect://Get all the radio buttonsallRdbs = jQuery("input[type='radio']");//Change the name attribute to be the sameallRdbs.attr("name","affect");TIA :)

Hi, I read other answers related to this topic and I tried to follow the instructions provided for the HMTL part but not sure how or where to add the CSS part that was mentioned. I need to have the Opt-out link in white letters and underlined. Can someone please explain how to do it? Thanks in advance

I'm running into issues using the API to access responses for a survey shared with me from an external organisation. I can retrieve the survey details, but not the responses. For surveys owned by me this works fine. Is this even possible? Many thanks.

Hi there! I'm working on implementing a survey experiment in Qualtrics, and it seems like the last impediment here is making sure I'm recording which treatments each respondent is exposed to. In broad strokes, the task I've implemented consists of exposing participants to 16 images (with each contained in its own question block, each block with a descriptive title of the image contained within). Within Qualtrics' survey flow, I've randomized the order of presentation of these images.Alongside these images, I'm also presenting respondents with a random sample of words from one of four different word pools. To accomplish this, I've written a bit of JavaScript code which randomly selects one number out of four, then randomly samples five words from the correspondingly indexed word pool (in an array containing all four word pools). After being presented with these stimuli, participants are asked to answer a quick multiple choice question (comprising my outcome variable). However, looking a

I've noticed the horizontal multiple choice scale question option appears horizontally on computers, but vertically on mobile devices, which requires respondents to scroll to see the full question/response. The NPS question seems to be the only 11-point scale question that appears horizontally on both the computer and mobile devices, and doesn't require scrolling. The NPS question is a good alternative, however the NPS questions has labels on the end points (0 and 10) that spread out across the rest of the scale. It looks like a pre-set question type doesn't exist and this functionality requires a custom code, and I was wondering if anyone knew how to ...Adjust the NPS scale, so that the labels only appear above 0 and 10? ORHave a scale question that appears horizontally on mobile devices, with the end points labels right above the numbers? ANDHave a vertical scale that doesn’t require scrolling on mobile devices?Thanks in advance!

Hi! I am using the following code to display a "hover over bubble of text" in my matrix table:Academic AdvisingIt works well. But, I need to use Pipe Text with these titles in the follow question and it is messing up the formatting by adding in extra breaks:Is there a way to use both a hover over bubble and Pipe Text?

Hi everyone,Is there a way to change the location of messages? I present a series of questions one by one, on mobile devices only. If people make an error, a message is displayed above the question. This results in undesired changes of the layout. I expect this problem to be solved if the error message is displayed underneath the question. Is this possible? I can't find an easy fix myself, but maybe some custom code can help?Any input would be much appreciated!Thanks!

Hello, I am attempting to provide a method of hiding additional information about the survey in expandable/collapsable buttons to be better presented for the participants. My method so far of utilising JS and HTML has been through his old thread: https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/27997#Comment_27997 Among the comments is a precise JS and HTML by TomG.This is JS: jQuery("#button").click(function() { jQuery("#infodiv").toggle();});And the HTML:Button TextInformationThe JS & HTML has been successful when a single expandable button is present within the question/block. However, when attempting to produce multiple of these said buttons on the same Question/Block it will only permit the first one to open. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated! I apologise for how simple this question might sound, and if this has already been asked before.

I want to control page viewing time. I used "seconds to count" of timer option in the question editing pane before.However, "seconds to count"  can only set up integer numbers. But I want to fix the page viewing time in a more precise manner, with decimal numbers.Could I change scripts in the qsf file directly and upload it into qualtircs?For example, below in a normal qsf script about timer{"QuestionDescriptionOption":"UseText","MinSeconds":90,"MaxSeconds":39,"ShowTimer":true,"Seconds":39},And I modify "MaxSeconds":39 to"MaxSeconds":39.5Will it work?Or I must use Javascript to modify the page viewing time. Like what this page said, change the Javascript for the first question in the page.Now, I did not have the premium account in qualtrics. So i cannot try directly. Thank you for your help!

Hello,I am trying to create a multiple choice question where the participant needs to look at an image before selecting an answer. I would like the image to popup over the survey in the same window and for the popup window to have a close button. Can anyone help me with this? I am new to custom coding in Qualtrics. Thank you!!

Any ideas how best to do this. I can obviously randomise 50 questions easily so I'm assuming I need some way of implementing a question counter and then running some code that says on every 10th question, ask an addtional question about how they feel.Even just some basic pointers to begin with would be helpful.

Hello, I am trying to embed an existing form that a partner of ours has on their website to allow those who take the survey to enter their information for our partner to contact them. Since they already have this form on their website, we are not wanting to create another form but instead put theirs into our survey so clients can answer the surveys questions (one being the form) and enter their information that will be sent to our partner directly through their site. All this while remaining in the survey. I can get the form to embed into a question, and even where it actually submits to their website when I enter my information and hit submit. The only problem is, their webpage naturally loads a "Thank you for entering your information..." page with the same URL when someone hits submit, so when I hit submit within the survey, my information was submitted but it took me out of the survey into another tab to pull up the thank you page. Our goal is to keep clients in the survey at all t

Is there a way to delete a response after the post-survey email trigger? I don't see a way to do it outside of Code, but wanted to be sure I wasn't missing it. If it has to be deleted in Code, where can I find the documentation to do that? Where is that JavaScript context covered in the documentation?Thanks for the assistance.
