Hi,We have a survey where users enter a start date, and we have javascript on this start date field that populates a hidden/embedded data field called endDate (yes we realized after the fact that we used the qualtrics core metadata field name, this is not causing issues with the code). We then pipe text the start and end date into subsequent questions/fields in the survey for the user to report on this specific date range. We have 6 responses so far, and 5/6 have failed to calculate the endDate and the endDate is appearing to the users and being saved in the data as "NaN/NaN/NaN". We realized that browser type/version may be playing a role in how the javascript executes, so have since included UserAgent as an embedded data field to capture this additional information for new records in the meantime, while we try to resolve the issue with endDate not populating correctly. Anyone else in the community have any insight or additional suggestions on troubleshooting this issue further?Than

We are exploring using Embedded Feedback to provide page-level feedback to supplement our baseline, organization-wide survey for one of our products. From the documentation I have seen thus far, it appears that the Embedded Feedback project type is independent of a traditional intercept and that the use case does not support randomly assigning a customer to the embedded feedback survey or a traditional survey. Is this correct, and if not, what are best practices for combining a traditional survey with an embedded feedback survey? Thanks in advance!

Anyone done this in the past? Tried in various ways to pass the data and all fail. thanks.

Hi Team,We have a request coming up by one of the client, please have a look and let me know your thoughts.A complaint button needs to be available for every participant at every question. What we need to happen is when a respondent gets to a question, he/she is having problems with the respondent can click the complaint button and will be redirected to a page where the respondent can lodge a complaint. That complaint will then be sent to an email for analysis. The respondent will then be redirected back to the same question in the survey. The complaint email that will be sent to an email will need at the very least the following information: ·      Meta-data regarding the participant’s device, browser, and operating system·      The respondent’s URL, which will include information such as RID.·      Time that the survey was started.·      Time that the complaint was submitted.·      Question displayed when the respondent lodged the complaint.·      Previous question displayed prior to

Hi,I'm trying to add a character limit to a matrix constant sum table. I'm using Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){ jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").each(function () {   jQuery(this).on("input", function() { this.value = this.value.substr(0,15); });});});But it doesnt work for Matrix tables.ThanksMark

Hi,I need to use a font called Garamond for my survey but it's not on Qualtrics. Is there anyway I can add it? Also I only need to use it for one specific block, not the entire survey. Is there anyway to do that?Thank you!

I have a website feedback which has the options "yes" and ''No". If someone clicks on 'yes' , I want to take them to a target survey. If they click 'no' i want to take them to the same survey but different block. Basically skip some blocks. How can I do that?

Hello, I have a survey that involves showing respondents an image and asking them several questions about the image. This is repeated 6 times, each time with a different image. The images need to be randomly selected from one of two lists. Each respondent needs to see exactly three images from list A and three images from list B. There are 50 images in list A and 50 images in list B. Is there any way to do this such that the respondent sees these 6 images in a random order? I don't want respondents to see all the list A images before the list B images or vice versa. They should be mixed together. I tried to set up a loop and merge with random selection but there seemed to be no way of ensuring even representation of list A and list B images. Thank you

Hi, I have created a custom theme in Qualtrics to match my company's color palette. I would also like to have certain text appear in a specific color for some questions throughout the survey--while not changing the theme for the whole survey. I change the text through the rich text editor, but every time I need to input the custom hex number because it doesn't show up in the font color options. Do you know if there is a way to add this permanently to the theme (or even to do it once when I enter the survey editor and have it appear again for other questions after doing it once)? Thank you!

Hi,I have a hidden question with 80+ choices. I only want to show 3 choices based on a combination of recode values from 2 previous questions. Here's an example to be clear:region question has a code of 0 to 3segment question has a code of 0 to 6the hidden question has recode values like these where the segment question is the second digit and the region question is the third digit:100, 101, 102, 103 110, 111, 112, 113 and so on until it gets to 160, 161, 162, 163 and then it moves to the 200 series and 300 series200, 201, 202, 203....300, 301, 302, 303....So if region is 0 and segment is 1, I only want to see 110, 210 and 310 I was able to pre-select the 3 choices I want to see using Javascript but what I really want is to display only those 3 and hide everything else. The reason for this is because I need to use randomization that evenly displays choices. the first digit is a concept that I will display and the client wants to balance the exposure by region and segment.

Hi, I want to set a variable. If people click one button within 10 seconds, we display some questions and ask people to click next button to proceed. If people don't click the button within 10 seconds, will automatically click the next button and go to next block. The question is I don't know how to define and use a global variable. In the following js, x_val is set to 1 within the block but after 10 seconds, the next function still works, it takes x_val as 0 and automatically proceeds to next block, which leads to even if people leave this block, it automatically jumps to the third block when people in the second block. How can i solve this, thanks!!Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){jQuery("#NextButton").hide();   var x_val=0; // set this variable equal to 0. jQuery('#Button').on('click', () => {x_val=1; // set this variable equal to 1jQuery("#NextButton").show();   });// after ten seconds, if button is not clicked, automatically click next buttonsetTimeout(function(){if (x

As you can see, all the questions have different drop down size and thus look little untidy. The question type is Multiple choice and thus I cant adjust the size.Can you suggest how can do it?

Hi Qualtrics friends, In my survey I make use of timing questions. Per page, I want to vary how many seconds the participant will be auto-advanced to the next page. I also have multiple-choice questions for which I have scored the answers. I would like to use these answers to set the timer in the next page. For example, if someone answers in the multiple-choice question '10', I would like to have the timer on '10 seconds' in the next page. In the end, I would like to set the timer based on a whole scoring category, so not based on just one question. Is this possible at all? Thanks in advance for all the help!

Hello!I have a very complex survey with various flows and routing in place. The survey has some questions that are asked of everyone, and other groups of questions that are asked of different groups of respondents. How do I adjust the progress bar in this case without having to manually apply JS to each question?

In my study, I want participants to answer 4 questions (each on a separate page in one block) in 2 minutes. If 2 minutes have passed then I auto-advance them to the next block. Participants do three rounds of this with 4 questions per round (so, one block per round and each block has 4 pages for the questions). I use the javascript code from the following post to do this, where I created embedded data for TimeLeft before each round block and then for each page in the block add javascript code: https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/744/how-to-auto-advance-a-block-and-with-using-the-same-countdown-timer-on-all-pages However, I am encountering some problems. 1) The auto-advance after 2 mins does not stop at the end to block, but keeps skipping the first few pages in the next block. I tried having different names for embedded data (TimeLeft1, TimeLeft 2 etc. ) for each block but it is still happening. 2) When auto-advance happens after 2 minutes, the participant can see the pa

I'm struggling to make the progress bar totally opaque. I have set the bar to remain fixed at the top of the page. However, the opacity setting still allows the survey question text to be seen through the progress bar, which is really distracting. .Skin .ProgressBarContainer label{ text-transform: uppercase; font-size: 16px; color: #ffffff; height: 30pt; position: fixed; top: 10px; right: 0; left: 0; opacity: 1; } .Skin .ProgressBarFill{ height: 30pt; opacity: 1; } .Skin .ProgressBarContainer{ top: 0; position: fixed; opacity: 1; } Any advice would be massively appreciated!

Hi there! This question pertains to the "Pick, group, rank" feature. I have a list of about 45 items, and participants are to choose 15 of those items and place them in a single group container. I have added custom code to make the group container as long as the item list, however, I can only drop items into the top of the container. This negates the reason for making the container long in the first place. How can I allow "entry" of each item into any part of the container? (i.e. so a user can drag an item from the list directly into the container, adjacent to the item and not have to scroll up to the top of the container to drop it in)I don't know much about coding, so please keep terminology simple. Thank you!The current code I have put in is:.Skin .PGR .DragAndDrop td.itemsContainerTd {width:100%}.Skin .PGR .DragAndDrop td.itemsContainerTd {height:100%}.Skin .PGR .DragAndDrop .Group h2, .Skin .PGR .DragAndDrop .Group ul, .Skin .PGR .DragAndDrop .Items h2, .Skin .PGR .DragAndDrop .It

I want to embed a video into a survey. Is there code I can write that allows the user to start the video, but doesn't allow the user to pause the video after it starts?

Hi, I want to write some javascript: after 30 seconds, the screen shows a button, which needs to be clicked within 10 seconds. If it is clicked within 10 seconds, we show the message "Msg" and next button. If not, we show a "miss message" and automatically click the next button. I guess this uses settimeout function and if logics. The "miss message" shows even if the button is clicked within 10 seconds. I used 'alert' to check, if the button is clicked, the variable is set to 1, but the "miss message" still shows. Why? Here are my javascript: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){  /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/    jQuery("#Msg").hide(); jQuery("#MissMsg").hide(); jQuery("#SvcButton").hide(); jQuery("#NextButton").hide();    var x_val=0; // set this variable equal to 0 // After 30 seconds, show the button that needs to be clicked within 10 seconds setTimeout(function(){ jQuery("#Button").show(); // if click the button, show the

Hello! I have one survey in which I have a video displayed. The video and sound of it work perfectly good. So then, I added a div in html to not allow respondents to pause or mute the video. This also meant, I had to add the autoplay option (as they wont be able to click on play). However the video now sounds with eco, like if they were 2 videos running at the same time with some seconds of difference. Does anybody know why this happends? This is the new code with the div: div style="height=40px;width=1280px;pointer-events:none;"> video autoplay="true" class="qmedia" controls="true" height="720" preload="auto" width="1280"> source src="MY VIDEO SOURCE"> embed align="middle" autoplay="false" bgcolor="white" class="qmedia" controller="true" height="720" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" src="MY VIDEO SOURCE" type="video/quicktime" width="1280"></video> /div> Thank you in advance!

Please help. I want each of my survey response options to be different colors when selected. Currently, the survey answers look like this:. . . and, when they are selected, all have the same blue color of the option below: Goal: Different colors for each selected option. For a previous assignment, a community member kindly shared HTML code that I inserted in the HTML view area for the question and it worked great. Out of necessity, I modified the parameters of the code for this assignment (e.g., QID# and label name) (see below) but it doesn't work at all this time. Can anyone PLEASE tell me why the code isn't working and, most importantly, how to fix it? Getting somewhat desperate, tbh. (The survey has 5 multiple choice, multi-answer questions, and I'd like to insert correct code for each survey question - just as did in the previous assignment that I referred to. Also, unfortunately, I do not have Java script.)Code that I thought would work, but it's not:label#QID65-Sep 2

I would like the question (and the answer options) in desktop view to show some text and another different one in the mobile version. Is it possible?

I'm fairly new to APIs, and I found something very odd. I'm running through a process to get all distributions/mailing lists for a set of surveys.I have a test survey that I only sent to myself. But running through my loop, I'm seeing a distribution/mailing list set that was not used for this survey. That is, I get all distributions for a survey, then all mailing list contacts for those distributions. And the results show a set of contacts that were never sent this particular survey.Has anyone seen this?I'm using "$url = "{0}distributions?offset=0&surveyId={1}" -f $urlbase,$SurveyID" to get the distributions, and $mlurl =  "{0}mailinglists/{1}/contacts" -f $urlbase,$MailingListID to get the contacts.(this is powershell)
