I have a few fields I've captured from a JSON event trigger. These fields populate an e-mail, in addition to being passed to the survey using the Query String structure. One value isn't showing up, and there's nothing unique about it. It's just another string. It's defined as Embedded data in the survey flow, and I can confirm the value is captured and is correct in the JSON data. I can also see that the survey link contains the key/value in the URL, so it would be available to use within the survey. I've tried adding the ?format=urlencode and setting the embedded data type explicitly to 'text' and even 'text set', but nothing changed. The only debug information I have is that the when using the ?format=urlencode, the text shows up as "null'.Is there a limit to the number of embedded elements you can pass or access?

We built a REST API POST method and invoke it from Qualtrics on creation of response or update of response. It works fine most of the time but sometimes it takes hours before the API gets invoked. Does anyone know the reason for this? Are there any alternatives that can guaranteee a synchronous POST call right when a user submits a survey.

Hi, Is there a Sandbox environment I can access to test Qualtrics API endpoints?Thanks,Shweta

How do I show the number of words in text entry boxes? I have several on the page.

I'm attempting to calculate, record, and display the total incentive that survey respondents will receive depending on their performance on a game embedded in the survey. The process of calculating, recording, and displaying the respondent's incentive will repeat daily over 14 days.If a participant records a score equal to or above 100 points on the game (as recorded in the ED day1_total), they will receive a $0.10 increment to their total incentive payment. For example, see the screenshot.When using piped text ($${e://Field/incentive_total}) to display incentive_total to participants, the piped text does not retain zeroes that are unnecessary. That is, piping in incentive_total displays $0.1 or $ instead of $0.10 or $0.00.Using the round operator does not seem to work. There are a few ap

Hello all,It might sound weird but can help me greatly.In a question (actually in more than one question) I am asking my participants to enter the amount of time they did an activity during the past week. Since it COULD be more than 24 hours, and I DO need consistency in the manner the respondents enter data, I would like for that question to be able to allow entering [for example] 32 hours and 45 minutes as 32:45Is that possible?To put it in a nutshell, I'd like a clock [23:59] able to show its "hour" section more than 23 hours

I want to add an mp4 file to a question that a respondent can download to their phone (they'll need to watch it offline later). I don't want the video to autoplay as soon as they click on the link, which is what happens when I upload the file at the moment in the normal way:https://ucsd.co1.qualtrics.com/CP/File.php?F=F_cGcfirKF5QJkWzQ" target="_blank">Click here to download this video and save it to watch laterHow can I do this?

I plan to deploy a survey nationwide, and would like to display a state-specific image to the respondent based on their location (for example, if they are in Iowa, they should see the Iowa-related image). I have uploaded my images, so I have URLs in hand. My contact list includes the relevant location information for each respondent, so embedding the location is possible.However, despite combing through the message board and hours spent experimenting, I at a loss for an "elegant" solution. Obviously brute force can work since there only so many states, but that is too cumbersome. Adding the URLs to the contact list might also work, but then I have to rely on always having the respondent's location before deployment, which may not always be true. I have gotten as far as adding the URLs to a Loop and Merge and piping those into HTML, but can't figure out how to appropriately display the correct and only the correct field to the respondent. I have no Java knowledge,

Hello, I'm currently working on some horizontal multiple choice questions. My scale goes from 1 to 9. I would like to be able to add a label above the actual scale on 1 (Very Dissimilar) and 9 (Very Similar), but also on 5 (Neither Dissimilar nor Similar). I've been using this code that I found...Your Question Goes Here Very Dissimilar Very SimilarIt allows me to have labels above 1 and 9, but I can't figure out how to get a label above the 5. I was wondering if anyone has a solution. Thank you!

I've already browsed quite a few posts on this forum relating to auto-pressing the next button, but none of the existing solutions seem to do the trick for me. My idea is to have a countdown, and once the timer hits 0, I'll automatically load the next page. Could someone help me out?Here's my code:h //within Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){   function startTypingTimer() {   typingTimer = setInterval( function(){   if (typingTimeLimit > 0) {   document.getElementById("seconds").innerHTML=pad(--typingTimeLimit%60);          document.getElementById("minutes").innerHTML=pad(parseInt(typingTimeLimit/60,10));   }   if (typingTimeLimit == 0) {   clearInterval(typingTimer);   jQuery("#NextButtion").click();   }    }, 1000);   }//alternatively, I've tried:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){ if (this.typingTimeLimit == 0) { this.clickNextButton(); }});

I'm using Leaflet to show participants an interactive map with two markers: #mapid { height: 250px; } var mymap = L.map('mapid').setView([25.7741728, -80.19362], 13); L.tileLayer('https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/{id}/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}?access_token={accessToken

I have two input textboxes per question, and I'm trying to measure the time it takes them to fill out both textboxes.I guess I could start a timer for a keydown/keypressed eventListener or even use Qualtric API's questionclick function (if I understood it right), but I'm not sure when to end the timer esp. because there may be some time lapse between the respondent finishing typing and clicking on the next button. Does anyone know how to deal with this?

Hello I need to find a way to use the total for each constant sum column as a validation all the way through the questionnaire. For example I have a question regarding spending budget for every Q and the total needs to be exaclty the same in the following questions since this budget will be borken down in different entries. The ideal is that the respondent can not continue when it total doesn't match with the one reported in this question.

1. I have a multiple choice question (multiple selections allows). I want to perform a function whenever any one of the options is selected or unselected. Currently, I'm using javascript as below but it doesn't work (i think):jQuery("#" + "QID1" + " .Selection ").on("click change", function(){ // some functio});2. I'd also like to check if a specific option is selected or unselected. I'm using javascript below but it seems also not work:if(jQuery("#QR~QID1~1").prop("checked") == true){ // some function};if(jQuery("#QR~QID1~1").prop("checked") == false){ // some function};Eventually, I want to achieve some code that checks dynamically:if any option is just selected or unselected (or if any option is just 'clicked');if selected, which one;if unselected, which one.and performs different actions when each option is selected and unselected like:

Hi, I hope someone is able to help because I am totally stuck on this! I am trying to change ALL of the text and features in my survey white. I have managed to get 90% of it to work, there are just two things I can't figure out: ! I would like the grey circles to have a white outline instead. They fill in white when selected already, but for a clean look it would be great to fix the outline! ! I'd also like to change the numbers on this slider to white. Is this doable? The code I have so far is: .Skin, #SurveyEngineBody { background:#ff6600!important; } .LabelWrapper, .QuestionText, .SubQuestionText, .AnswerText{ color:white!important; } .Skin .InputText, input[type=text] { background-color : #ff6600 !important; border-radius: 2px !important; border: solid 1px #ffffff !important; color:white!

Hi. I'm trying to get respondents to enter in their ID but only wish to store a SHA-256 hash of the ID. Hence I've created a HTML form input and save it to embedded data. I've been successful setting embedded data in addOnload or addOnReady but when setting the embedded data in a promise, the data will not be stored even when attempted to getEmbeddedData retrieves the right value. Any advise?Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){    /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/    function hex (buff) {        return [].map.call(new Uint8Array(buff), b => ('00' + b.toString(16)).slice(-2)).join('');    }    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function(type)    {        if(type == "next")        {            var userID = document.getElementById('QNRIC').value;            window.crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', new TextEncoder().encode(userID))                .then((val)=> {                    //a

I have a simple multiple-choice question that has "yes" and "no" as answer options. Is it possible to get it into my embedded data on the same page as the question?I would like my embedded data to read "yes" and "no" like the answer options.Similar to this question (this question is the text entry version):https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/4176/how-to-get-answer-into-embedded-data-while-on-the-same-pagewhich was answered byQualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() { var answer = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").val(); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("CQ1_participant_answer", answer);});basically I just need to know what to replace the .InputText with. Thank you!

Hi all,I've been trying everything I can to make this work and can't figure it out. I'm trying to correct the trailing space that iPhones create when responders autocomplete a text field. (e.g. I want "ABCD" not "ABCD ")The solution that looks most promising is to use custom validation for the field and I thought I had it correct with "^[A-Za-z]$" but unfortunately, that won't permit anything to be accepted. Can you point out what I'm doing wrong?Thanks for any and all help,JMag

I'd highly appreciate it if anyone can help me center align my text boxes. I tried the following html code but it aligned only the texts not the boxes. .ChoiceStructure {  text-align: center;}Best, ZR

I have some custom validation that I want to execute when the next button is clicked. If the validation passes, I want to go on to the next question, if the validation fails I want to display an error and prevent the "next" action.I triedjQuery.on("click keydown submit", function(){ var goodToGo = myvalidation(); return goodToGo;});Returning false if to prevent event bubbling, but this did not work.Other suggestions?

Hello - Not sure how to properly do this.I have a question where one of my dropdown selections contains an apostrophe.I need to store that answer to an embedded data field using Javascript.Is there a proper way to do that? Does that need to be encoded, and if so what is the proper way to format that?e.g., result (location) is:O’Connor BldgQualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('LOC', location);(the above isn't working for me)Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Cindy

Hello y'all,I am asking my respondents to enter the time that they do a specific activity during the day/night so I ended up adding a timePicker which honestly does not look good as I guess I had to put it in the question section of the "text entry" question.Also, to double-check the question I published my survey and answered that specific question and although the survey's response counter goes up by one, the time that I entered in that TimePicker question does not show up in the Qualtrics report. It is totally BLANk as if no one answered it.I have been searching a lot for a good step-by-step method of creating a TimePicker question in Qualtrics but have been unsuccessful.I would appreciate the help as I have no experience with Java whatsoever.Best,Mo

Hello everyone, I would like to collect more clicks from the Heat Map question type. At the moment the maximum amount of clicks is 10, but I would like to have almost ~100. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this?Your feedback is greatly appreciated.Thanks,Nicole

Hello,We're having an issue implementing DKIM in our organization to use custom FROM email addresses. We are not familiar with DKIM evidently. Anyone willing to help us figure out what we're doing wrong.Our IT team went to lengths to let me know what they've done, see below:Our external DNS runs on a Linux server running the CentOS 6.10 operating system and BIND 9. DNS entries are maintained by editing the zone file in the /var/named directory and then restarting the named daemon.In this case I edited the zone file to include the TXT record you provided:qualtrics._domainkey.universitydomain.edu TXT "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=......thescretcodegoeshere......."DNS itself it pretty straightforward. I don't know if there is more to what it means to "publishing."I already went back and forth with Qualtrics support (Ticket ID: 8MG0171F7OOL) and their support doesn't extend to helping us with validating our DNS setup. Any help would be app
