I was wondering if there is a way to obtain user-input data (from different response questions) and run JavaScript on it? I also need to save the data obtained from JS in Qualtrics for data analysis. Is this manipulation possible?

Hi. I have been using response mapping for quite a while, but ran into an issue starting last night where the response trigger throws an Error. "Salesforce Response Mapping: Unable to login to salesforce, invalid credentials. Salesforce API error: INVALID_LOGIN: Invalid username, password, security token; or user locked out.". I figured the password had expired, but when I go to my survey, and click on response mapping under Tools, it successfully logs in to Salesforce and retrieves my data. The other strange thing is that once I do that, the response mapping trigger starts working until the SF auth cookie times out, and then it starts throwing the login error again. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Thanks, Jon

I'm a novice at Javascript so I'll do my best to explain my problem - apologies if there are errors: I am applying some custom javascript to an individual question, below, which is also part of a loop and merge function: ! The code links to code in the Look and Feel and uses the Awesomplete library to create an autocomplete function, so that survey respondents can type the names of colleagues and the names autocomplete according to a list of employees in the respondent's organization. The code works when I preview the individual question, or when I preview the entire survey and the question is not part of the loop and merge function. However, when I preview or launch the entire survey with the loop and merge function included, the autocomplete function doesn't work. My assumption is that Qualtrics is somehow running the loop and merge when the page loads but not my custom script. Does anyone have any suggestions for solutions? I can provide the code if necessary. Thank you!!

We are using a side-by-side matrix. If a respondent answers that they never use something in the first drop-down, how can we automatically populate the second with "I don't do this"? ! I've been told it is possible with custom Javascript, however I'm not proficient enough to code it. Any assistance with the coding would be a huge help!

I know nothing about JavaScript or coding but i want to get a graph similar to this one into qualtrics where the red distribution can be slid to the right of the black one. no numbers needed, just these two simple normal distributions. Can anyone help? https://www.desmos.com/calculator/h2xsfakrik

Hello, We are looking at acquiring the mobile app SDK functionality and had one concern that I can’t seem to sort out with the documentation provided to us (that being said I don’t know much about SDK building…). We are looking to add in a survey intercept on the mobile app, but currently have an itunes rating prompt running, and obviously don’t want to bombard the user with too many ‘rate us’/’leave feedback’ requests. Does anyone know if there is a way we can control the survey intercept around the itunes prompt so that if they see the itunes one we won't bug them with the survey intercept? Looking at the documentation we have, it looks like you can actually build your own iTunes prompt in the mobile SDK itself (https://api.qualtrics.com/v3/docs/getting-started-si-with-ios#section-using-intercept-logic-to-solicit-app-reviews) so if we were to run the iTunes prompt through that mobile SDK, would there be a way in the code to set logic so that one or the other shows (iTunes rating

Hello everyone, I would like to change the mouseover color. At the moment, the default color for mouseover is grey (see screenshot attached). I would like to change this color for all answers to this one here: #b6f7dc I hope someone can help me with this. !

I created a questionnary and I aldready have answers. The problem is that when people open the link on the mobile it appears out of format so they cannot answer it. The only way to answer it is in the computer. How can I change this? Thank you!

Can someone help me understand how to change the sizing of the drag and drop boxes. I am going to use the stacking option for both the choices and once they are dragged over to the box. Therefore, the boxes don't need to be so large. This will also improve it's usage on the iphone since the current format isn't working properly when you need to drag below the current screen area. (I have already notified engineering) I am not a coder, but I usually can find my way around the java script area. Thank you

Hello there, I am developing a questionnaire in which participants are presented 40 different behaviours that they have to rate using sliders (-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3). These 40 behaviours are randomized. Now, with each question I want the slider to be pre-set at the value of what the participant answered for the previous question (first slider will obviously be set at 0). Does someone know how to do this? I know how to pre-set the slider but only when you already determine the order of the questions (the 40 behaviours). Thanks!

Hello! So, I want for respondents to choose up to 2 choices of a list of 15. For each of these choices, I want to have a question of how much they like it. Such as: 1. Choose 2 below: * 1 * 2 * 3 * ... * 15 3. How much do you like __(piped choice, the first chosen in descending order or something)_____? 4. (IF 2 are chosen) How much do you like __(piped second choice, the second chosen in descending order or something)___? Could anyone help? Thanks!

I am trying to set a slider starting value (which is also a default response) using a previous slider response. What I have been trying to do is set an embed variable and then use JS to get it into the question. So say I set the embed variable "value1A" as a participants' response to the first slider in question 1, my thought was that I can just put this in the JS editor: var value = "${e://Field/value1A}"; this.setChoiceValue(1, value); And pass it on to the next slider question. But alas, no dice. Any ideas?

Qualtrics requires token auth or oauth. Zendesk Targets only allow for basic auth or no auth. Does anyone know of any other way to add contacts from Zendesk to Qualtrics via the API?

Hi all, I am preparing a survey with multiple choice questions. I want to add explanation of the terminology that I used in that question in a footnote. How can I do that? I want it to appear at the bottom of question. Thank you

I have two randimizers in the survey flow with several questions under each randomizer. Every question is under a single block ( 1 block per question). When navigating from a question under the first randomizer to a question under the second randomizer, the back button is not shown. This behavior is expected and described in warning presented on https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-options/survey-experience/#AddingABackButton . Is there any solution to avoid this? I was wondering if there is any way to use javascript to keep a reference to the previous page at any given time (maybe using embedded data). Then create a fake back button, for the page in which the first question from the second randimizer is displayed, so that when this button is clicked, it jumps back to the previous question from the first randomizer.

Need some quick help from you coders out there. I have a form on our website that is on the page using an iframe. The sizing isn't working properly on certain size phones. I was give the following code to make it respond, but it isn't working. Any ideas? <script> function resizeIframe() { var height = $('.embed-iframe iframe').contents().height(); $('.embed-iframe iframe').height(height); } $(window).bind("load", function() { resizeIframe(); }); $(window).resize(function() { resizeIframe(); } ); </script>

Our users like using folders to organize their surveys, but when writing a program for them through the API, I don't see any way to access this folder information. Is there a way to get a list of only the surveys that are in a given folder? The use case is that someone with 10+ surveys is using my software to select one to push out via mechanical turk. They already have the surveys they are interested in put into one folder, but I can't find that information in the API. I would rather not make them prepend something like "A*" onto all of the survey names they will use this way.

Hello there! I noticed that if you have Stats IQ, the Cluster Analysis or other features does NOT work with Matrix questions currently. As a workaround, I layered many Multiple Choice, Single Answer questions on top of each other so that I could show a bunch of questions together. Does anyone know a way to make it so that the statement shows on the side of the question, rather than on the top? Maybe using Div Class?

Hello, Could anyone please guide me on how to change the hover color of a matrix table question? I have managed to change the hover color of multiple choice, single answer questions using the CSS code below: .Skin label.SingleAnswer:hover, .Skin label.SingleAnswer:hover { background-color: rgb(210, 210, 210); border-style: solid; border-color: black; border-width: 1px; } I wish to do something similar for matrix table questions involving Likert scales. Thank you!

Hi, I have some difficulties to get what I need with the iQ directory settings. For our customer care service we have a workflow in Salesforce to send a contact to Qualtrics each time a case is closed. Nevertheless we would like to oversurvey and only send the invitation if the contact didn't receive an survey invitation in the past 15 days. I couldn't find a way to make it work with the iQ directory settings. Either I deduplicate on email and then my contact will only receive 1 invitation and that's all (as my understanding is invitation are triggered on contact creation and not update) either I deduplicate on email + another Embedded Data which is the case, but that won't meet my need as it would be considered as a new/different contact and won't meet the 15 days latency period. I know there is a workaround with the API by using transaction but that would require development. If you encountered the same situation and found a solution, I'm all ears :) Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello, I am trying to setup a gradient background color with a custom CSS for my survey but am unable to set it up. I've used the code provided in this answer (https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/1060/css-format) and was able to implement a plain color. However I wanted to set up a 3 color gradient and the custom CSS I usualy use does not work. My code is like this: #SurveyEngineBody { background: #e53416 .3 #fa551e .3 #f7a600 .3; background-size: cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center center; } .Skin #SkinContent { background: rgba(255,255,255,.9) !important; } .Skin .SkinInner { background: transparent !important; } Thanks

Hi. I am a relative newcomer regarding both HTML and JavaScript. For example in this slider question, how can I set a limit that summation of my responses does not go over 100%? (I tried that math operation, but it does not work!) Q8- "Approximately, what percentage of your caseload is in the following categories of socioeconomic status?" Low------> is equal to -----> $e{ 100 - ( q://QID8/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/2 + q://QID8/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/3 ) } Middle---> is equal to ------>$e{ 100 - ( q://QID8/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/1 + q://QID8/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/3 ) } High-----> is equal to ------> $e{ 100 - ( q://QID8/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/1 + q://QID8/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/2 ) } I appriciate your help. Peace.

I"m looking to see if I can use an attached spreadsheet in a SF case to pull into Qualtrics to load as the Contact List to send out a survey

Hello! For a project I'm working on, we need to run Java script on over 300 multiple choice questions (each of which is in a separate block). Is there a way to apply our script to multiple choice questions in bulk without copy and pasting our code into each individual question? Current script: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){ jQuery('body').keydown( function( event ) {     switch (event.which) {         case 49: // the 1 key             event.preventDefault();             jQuery(jQuery('span.LabelWrapper label')[0]).click()             jQuery('#NextButton').click();             break;         case 48: // the 0 key             event.preventDefault();             jQuery(jQuery('span.LabelWrapper label')[1]).click()             jQuery('#NextButton').click();             break;        

I would like to embed my survey directly into a web page so that respondents can take the survey there and don't have to click on a link to access the survey. How can I do this?
