I have added a button in my survey, which respondents can click on to read more information. I want to track whether a respondent has clicked on this button and read the additional information. While the button works well, I am not able to track if a respondent has clicked on the button and read the additional information. Below you can find the Javascript that I included to track if a respondent clicks on the button. I also include the HTML code which creates the button. Finally, I have also set embedded data to track the button: I called it “clicked1” and set it as empty. I have tried multiple times, with various Javascript options, and I have not been able to track it in any of the attempts. Would any of you know how to fix this??? I’d immensely appreciate it! :)  JAVASCRIPT TO TRACK CLICKS: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {     var questionContainer = this.getQuestionContainer();    var infobutton1 = questionContainer.querySelector('#infobutton1');    var infotext1 = qu

HelloI am trying to update my responses via API, because after Qualtrics gets the response I need to add some embedded data from my data lake.I saw this API call https://api.qualtrics.com/daed82306b1ea-update-response , but is not clear for me how do I get the response ID in the api call?

I have a simple survey where I ask for a start & end date, and then the next block prints those dates (see screenshot below). I have two embedded data variables that I have set to placeholders to start the survey.Survey FlowIn my “Responsible Party” block, I have entered some basic JS code (credit to Nam Nguyen) to take those start & end dates from the first two questions and convert their format from the international “YYYY-MM-DD” to the U.S. standard “MM/DD/YYYY” before I use the setEmbeddedData function to overwrite the date variables.Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){ var dateStr = "${q://QID13/ChoiceTextEntryValue}"; if (dateStr) { var dateParts = dateStr.split("-"); var StartingDate = dateParts[1] + "/" + dateParts[2] + "/" + dateParts[0]; Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("StartingDate", StartingDate); } var dateString = "${q://QID14/ChoiceTextEntryValue}"; if (dateString) { var dateElements = dateString.split("-"); var EndingDate =

I have some questions about randomizer does not work. So my survey has 22 blocks each block as an audio file. Each audio file represents gender and nationality (e.g. Japan-female, Australia-male). So I’m trying to make the blocks presented to participant with no consecutive gender and nationality. So the same gender can not be presented and the same nationality can not be presented. I set up embedded data Previousgender and PreviousNationality. I first set up randomizer in Survey flow, then under it 22 branch if (previousgender is not equal to… and previousnationality is not equal to…), then each block together with embedded data nested into each branch if. I think it is a perfect set up, however, when I preview it, although there is no consecutive gender and nationality presented, only 11 blocks presented not all of them. Could you please tell me why is that? And how to fix it? Thank you very much  

How do I add this code to my End of Survey? function addPrintBlur() {  const style = document.createElement('style');  style.textContent = `    @media print {      body {        filter: blur(10px); /* Adjust the blur intensity as needed */      }    }  `;  document.head.appendChild(style);}// Call the function to add the CSS ruleaddPrintBlur();

Previously, this was put together for me (thanks so much):  It had been working a charm ...but suddenly, the next lines no longer appear when ‘no’ is clicked. This survey is live, so we really need it working. Can someone please check my javascript and see what’s wrong? Previously, we had issues with this not working in some browsers but it was fixed. I’ve just checked it in Firefox and it seems ok but in Chrome and Edge, it is not. Please help!

I keep trying to import a survey into Qualtrics using some code I wrote in JSON (although the files I’m trying to import are .qsf)  but every time I try to upload it into Qualtrics it keeps telling me that there is an “error calling service” and I’m not sure why. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas, I would really appreciate the help!! Thanks so much!

I've got a side-by-side question with 5 statements as shown:Ideally, I'd like to hide (or blank out) Segments 2, 3, 4 and 5 unless "No" is selected for "Have you arrived at home?" in the previous statement (in this case, Segment 1). If "No" is selected in Segment 1, then Segment 2 is shown but Segments 3, 4 and 5 are hidden, unless "No" is selected for "Have you arrived at work?" in Segment 2 ...etc until all 5 segments are visible. Is there any easy way to do this? I tried just standard display logic built into the question for each statement but I don't think that worked because it was within the same question.Thanks!

I have a scenario where several people are reviewing other staff members. I have it set up now where the first question of the survey is a dropdown list filled with the people they are reviewing which is coming from the contact list, display logic showing only if data is in the contact list for that field. After they select the person they are reviewing, they go through the survey, answer questions, submit for that person, refresh the page, re-authenticate and select the next person from the dropdown.The issue I’m having, is that I’d like the dropdown to remove the last person that that person reviewed, so their list gets shorter the more people they review, so its easier for them when they have 20 people to review. Qualtrics support pointed me here and said I could use a custom code for this. Some people are reviewed by several different people, so I’d only want them to drop off the drop-down for that specific person who evaluated that person, so that person would still show up on Eva

I added the following JS to a few questions to force the numpad keyboard to appear on phones for text input:jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" input[type='text']").attr('type', 'tel');Then I switched to the Simple Layout in Look and Feel tab. I really like this theme so wanna keep it. However, the questions with JS for numpad now show the full keyboard on phones; the code doesn’t seem to be working anymore.Any idea what could be the reason here?

I have a question for those of you with experience using SMS distribution (1-way / individual survey link) within Qualtrics. We are exploring integrating one SMS provider with Qualtrics and I need help confirming some information regarding distribution data.  I’d like to ensure it is possible to export SMS distribution details, such as distribution date, total successful SMS messages, total failed SMS messages, etc., to an external system via SFTP - To be more specific, I need a list of all customers' External Data References and the status of each SMS message (sent or failed).   Could anyone tell me if we can access this type of data within Qualtrics? It’s important to the project create a daily routine to send this information outside Qualtrics at the end of each day. 

Hello,The survey API documents how to modify multiple choice, matrix and other types of questions.There is no indication about how to modify a drilldown question.Has anybody used the survey API (or any other) to programmatically modify a drilldown question?This is my use case:we run a continous survey for a customer. This survey has several drildown questions to chose related values. Let’s say cities with a store in a state. We provide to the drilldown the list of states and stores, once the client selects the state, the next drilldown only contains stores in that state.Stores in a state can change maybe monthly due to new ones joining the brand or old ones leaving the brand. Every month we must update the mapping table.I want to do that programmatically connected with my customer’s usiness systems. In order to do that I download the mapping table from their business systems, but I cannot see how to push it to update the drilldown question definition. Thanks in advance,

Hi allI'm a PhD student using Qualtrics for an expression of interest form for recruiting participants for research. I'm encountering a lot of bots on my form despite having all of Qualtrics' security features enabled and a reCAPTCHA verification question in the survey.I have tried adding Honeypot questions (e.g., a superfluous “What is your age in years?” question) and have been able to successfully hide them using the below JavaScript:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){jQuery("#"+this.questionId).prev('.Separator').hide();jQuery("#"+this.questionId).hide();});However, the bots do not seem to be answering these questions. They answer everything else and are only leaving these hidden questions blank, which defeats the purpose of having them.Does anyone have any suggestions?I’m also open to hearing about other anti-bot measures I could include in my survey to assist with security as I need a verifiable way of telling bots and genuine participants apart for the purposes of resea

Hello everyone,I am trying to set up an intercept based on page count and time focused on site.I'm probably missing some configuration as the feedback button doesn't appear even though I've spent the set time on the site and navigated to a subsequent page (as per the documentation, the creativity appears on the upload after the set elapsed time has been reached).I have enabled session-storage cookie recording in the Settings tab of the Website App Insight project, but the button still does not appear.When I remove the Page Count and Time Focused on Site restrictions, the button does appear, so it is clearly a problem specific to these logical conditions.What am I missing? Can you help me out?Thank you.

Hello everyone!!I would like to add a share button in the 'end of survey' page so that participant who has just completed the survey can conveniently share the survey URL on Social Media or with friends using e.g. Linkedin, Facebook etc

Dear community,Qualtrics-newie here. Within my Qualtrics survey, I included a game for which I want to count the number of times the spacebar is pushed. For some reason , I never manage to get the actual number in the data output. Do you have any idea what I can do to make this work? This is the Java Code I use in the survey, as well as the survey flow: Code:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {    var spacebarCount = 0;    // Funktion zum Zählen der Leertastenanschläge    function keydownHandler(event) {        var code = event.code || event.keyCode;        if (code === 'Space' || code === 32 || event.key === ' ') {            spacebarCount++;        }    }    // Event-Listener hinzufügen    document.addEventListener('keydown', keydownHandler);    // Speichere die Leertastenanschläge beim Verlassen der Seite    this.addOnPageSubmit(function() {        Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("SpacebarClicks", spacebarCount);    });    // Event-Listener entfernen beim Entladen d

I'm a JavaScript developer and new to Qualtrics. I see that large parts of JavaScript has been disabled by Qualtrics. Is there a language reference etc. that documents the parts of JavaScript that can be used. For instance which string operations are supported? Thanks in advance!!

Background: I took the info I found here: https://community.qualtrics.com/custom-code-12/is-it-possible-to-change-the-next-button-to-finish-based-on-embedded-data-18014?postid=41891#post41891 …I have essentially two versions of a survey:Version 1: ends at Question 10 if ${e://Field/Acquisition} is blank Version 2: continues with Questions 11-20 if ${e://Field/Acquisition} is YesOn Question 10, I added this JavaScript:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {if("${e://Field/Acquisition}" != "null"){var newName = 'Submit'; //Update - New Next Button labelvar lastLoopOnly = true; //Last loop only? Value doesn't matter to non-loops//No changes belowif(!lastLoopOnly || "${lm://CurrentLoopNumber}" == "${lm://TotalLoops}") {var nb = jQuery('#NextButton');nb.val(newName);nb.attr('title', newName);}}});I added this JavaScript because Version 1 should have a “Submit” button on the page showing Question 10 whereas Version 2 should have a “Next” button. Problem: Version 1 is showing “Submit”

Dear community, I am using Surveys Response Import/Export API to download my data in json format.The json I have has for keys the QID of the questions.Is there a way to get directly the json file with the question “title” (i.e. the question variable name)?For now, my best option is to download the csv of the responses and match the QID of the json to the variable names…But maybe there is a better way? Thank you for your help. 

Does anyone know how to calculate age from DOB (DD/MM/YYYY) using embedded data in the Survey flow section and NOT using JavaScript.I’ve looked through previous threads but they all seem to use JavaScript and a different date format. At the moment, I’m playing with the below but I’m not sure it’s correct:Round((${date://CurrentDate/d%2Fm%2FY}-${q://QID”insert DOB question ref”/ChoiceTextEntryValue})/365,2)

I have a survey with 3 questions on a page - Q1 is a slideshow of 5 images (scrolling coded with js and html), Q2 and Q3 are simple text entry (numerical) questions (eg. how much would you be willing to pay for the product shown in the images). When I type in an answer to Q2, the text entry field of Q3 automatically starts populating with what I am typing in Q2. Q2 and Q3 do not have any js  - they are default qualtrics questions. If I remove the slideshow (Q1), things look normal. I am able to enter answers to Q2 and Q3 separately. Would anyone know how I can fix this? I would like to keep the slideshow and be able to type in answers to Q2 and Q3 as two separate questions…  The js on Q1 is below var prevBtn = document.querySelector(".prev");var nextBtn = document.querySelector(".next");var slides = document.querySelectorAll(".mySlides");                var slideIndex = 1;var viewedSlides = new Set(); showDivs(slideIndex);function plusDivs(n) {  showDivs(slideIndex += n);}function show

Hi Team, I am encountering an error while using the initializeProject/initializeProjectWithExtRefId API with the Brand ID and Zone ID in my React Native application.The error message is as follows: {  "Error": {    "message": "Qualtrics: No Intercepts loaded, project initialization cancelled",    "passed": false  }}Here are some details about my setup:React Native version: 0.74 iOS version: 15 react-native-qualtrics version: 2.8.0Has anyone experienced this issue before or have any insights on how to resolve it?

Hi guys, we are trying to display a survey in our mobile app with React Native.But when trying to initialize our qualtrics project with the initializeProjectWithExtRefId function indicating the BrandId and ProjectId we do not have a correct response.initializationResults:  {} Then, when calling the function evaluate Project we have the following response.targetingResults:  {"ERROR":{"passed":false,"surveyUrl":null,"creativeType":null}}We are following the following guide https://api.qualtrics.com/f23ebb864cba1-getting-started-with-react-native-sdk¿How can we validate that the intercept and the survey created are well configured? or check if it is another problemReact-Native 0.64.0 (with Typescript) iOS 14.0 Qualtrics 2.4.1Thanks.

I’m trying to create a survey that will stand in place of a two-person approval process. When one person finishes one block of the survey, it triggers an email to the next person who has to complete a second block (embedded data and a branch in the survey flow). That email will include a link back to the survey. I’m sure I’ll run into plenty of problems with this, if it’s even possible, but the big problem for now is that the fields  ${l://SurveyLink?d=Take%20the%20survey}, and  ${l://SurveyURL}both pipe nothing. They are blank. The field ${l://SurveySessionID} returns a value, but the above two don’t. This happens whether I publish the survey or run it in preview. What might I be doing wrong? 

There doesn't appear to be an option to assign statements in a side-by-side matrix to groups (as there is for a standard matrix question). As a work around, I used the rich text editor to add the group label directly into the first statement in the group. The problem is that Qualtrics vertically aligns the rows to the middle so now the response boxes appear higher than I would like them for that top row. Ideas for JS that would push that down? Or other known fixes? Thank you!
