Hello Community,My question is regarding integration of results of two different surveys posted from two different qualtrics accounts. The surveys are exactly the same in their content and questions, but were posted via two different channels (accounts) to two different sets of people (audiences). Is there a possibility for me to integrate the results of the two survey without manually exporting the data in some format (xls., csv., spss., etc) and combining them in some other software package. Is there a possibility in the Qualtrics platform for me to integrate the results and generate a combined report from the two surveys?

I have a checkbox question with various times of day (12:30pm, 1:00pm, etc.) where users can sign up for a particular time for an appointment. I also have a date selector question. If the users selects today's date, I want to be able automatically remove times that have already passed, and ones that are too close to the current time. For example, if it is currently 10:55am, I want 9:00am, 9:30am, 10:00am, and 10:30am to not display. I also want 11:00am to not display since it is too close to the current time.I am pulling the system time here:  // get system time var d = new Date(); var m = d.getMinutes(); var h = d.getHours(); if(h == '0') {h = 24}   var currentTime = h+":"+m;colsole.log('The current time is ' + currentTime + '.');Is there a way to do this? Thank you!!

I am currently programming an experiment that will record reaction time. I just would like to know if there is a general latency for page submission that i can factor into my analysis?

Hi everyone, I have a matrix question and if I miss to answer a row, I am getting an error message saying 'Please answer this question'. Is there a way of highlighting the row that I have missed. Like in my screenshot below Currently it is very hard to identify the row that I have missed to answer. Thank you. Kai !

Hello! I am looking to fix/freeze/lock a VIDEO to the top of a question, so that when you scroll down through a number of questions on the screen the video is still present at the top/right.

Hi.My organization does not have API access, and I can't get SFTP going.I have quite a few surveys, and it would be a hassle to regularly download the results, and so an automatic solution would be great. I am willing to write some reasonable amount of Python code if it will allow automatic downloading.Even if need to go to the Qualtrics website regularly, that would be fine if I could download everything with just one or two simple buttons.I don't need PDFs of the responses. I just want the spreadsheets.Thanks,Paul

HelloI am using flatpickr to choose a date in a survey. When the date is in year 2021, flatpickr is populating the field with year 2121. Can anybody help please?Here is the JS script I am using  jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").eq(8).flatpickr({enableTime: false, altInput: true, altFormat: "m/d/yy", dateFormat: "m/d/yy", minDate:new Date().fp_incr(0), maxDate: new Date().fp_incr(730)});Thanks,Bill

How can I change the default hyperlink colour on an entire survey? Can this be done within Look and Feel?

In the Qualtrics emailer, the opt out link is accepted in a certain format – ${l://OptOutLink?d=opt%20out%20link} or ${l://OptOutURL}&OptOut=dir. If we use these links then opt-in and opt-out information of a user goes to Qualtrics and not Eloqua which is our own email system.We want to use custom opt out link in Qualtrics mailer so that the opt-in and opt-out information flows into Eloqua keeping it as the single source of information for our organization. Therefore, we tried the below method: If you no longer want to receive information from BlackRock, please click here.The above did not work for us. Does anyone know how can I make this custom opt out link work in Qualtrics mailer

Looking to test out the Tableauintegration with a survey data set, but when I go to export the survey data there is no Tableau option...thoughts?

Hi community,I'm very new to javascript and Qualtrics custom coding so my issue may be a simple one but it doesn't seem to have a solution presented anywhere. In my survey I implement some js code to randomize the use of a term across questions. For example:// randomly select termvar term_array = ["big", "scary", "inviting", "attractive", "confusing", "opaque"];var rnd = Math.floor(Math.random()*6);var term = term_array[rnd];var out = `Does the above image look ${term} to you?`;The string in the variable "out" is then outputted to an html script which displays the question. The problem is that everything in the outputted string except the placeholder is being displayed when I preview the question. So to illustrate, if term = "scary", instead of displaying "Does the above image look scary to you?" the output displayed is "Does the above image look to you?"This is unexpected because when I check the code in other javascript editors (such as https://js.do), the correct output is always di

I would like to do the following three points regarding the setting of the questionnaire screen. Is there a good way?・ I want to play music automatically so that the question can be displayed after the time when the music ends (for example, 30 seconds after opening the page) (display the music and the question on the same page). (Assuming that) ・ I want to keep playing music (repeat playback) while the page is open (assuming that I get answers while listening to music) ・ I want to set the above two at the same time.Thank you!

I'm trying to make a question that allows survey participants to place a set of 10 images into 5 groups. Right now I'm using a pick, group and rank question, but it's causing problems for me because participants can't scroll while clicking to drag and drop an image into the boxes, and since there are 5 boxes they don't all fit on one screen. I'm looking to get around this by displaying the boxes horizontally, but Qualtrics doesn't seem to have an option for that. Is there a way of doing this using custom code? Also, I'm using a pick, group and rank question, but the ranking aspect is irrelevant. Any help is appreciated!

I've changed the colour of my selection boxes for a single answer multiple choice question as below. When I select a choice, the text slightly darkens. I'd like to change the colour of the selected box to make it more obvious (eg. blue) - does anyone know how I could do this? I just want to do it for this block of 3 questions, not the whole survey. I used the following code I found on this community to change the box colours:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){var c=["rgba(238, 50, 70, 0.3)","rgba(245, 150, 30, 0.3)","rgba(255, 203, 8, 0.3)","rgba(178, 210, 53, 0.3","rgba(0, 165, 81, 0.3)"];    for(var i=0;i

Hi everyone, If you have 3 questions on the same screen, how do you use .getChoiceAnswerValue(); to capture the values from the other questions? I cannot seem to get it to work! Here is an example to clarify what I mean: DESC [descriptive item] How do you feel about the following items? Q2 Dogs 1: Good 2: Bad Q3 Cats 1: Good 2: Bad I have javascript on the DESC variable to try capturing the values selected at Q2 and Q3 OnPageSubmit, but this does not seem to work correctly. Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() { var q2= document.getElementById('QID2').getChoiceAnswerValue(); var q3= document.getElementById('QID3').getChoiceAnswerValue(); console.log(q2); console.log(q3); }); This throws an error saying .getChoiceAnswerValue is not a function.

Is it possible to set default choice(s) for a drill down question using embedded data? I've done it for a multiple choice question using the following JS: if("${e://Field/myfield}" == "Yes") this.setChoiceValue(1,true); if("${e://Field/myfield}" == "No") this.setChoiceValue(2,true); How do I adapt this for a drill down question (with four levels of drill down)?

This is going to be a public (shared) report and I don't what "If you could ask your global peers..." in there twice. Is there a way to delete that text from the gray box where the responses will eventually show up? Thank you in advance!

Hi all, I would appreciate help / advice or even custom code to conduct the following: I'd like to program a constant sum question that allows the respondent to see their previous answers to a similar question for each list item in the allocation exercise. I'd really like to present a table that has columns - list item, previous allocation in scenario 1, previous allocation in scenario 2, New allocation in scenario 3Support has informed me thats not possible without custom code. I've done a work around in other studies where I just pipe-in responses into the "choice" options - so it says in the choice option for example, Drug #1 (previous allocation = X%)But this is not ideal, especially since I need to refer to 2 previous answers for each list item. The on-screen presentation is cumbersome and can obscure the ability to view the question or access the input field.Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Hi all, Do you know how to modify the inline email question, so when viewed on mobile, the choices are adjusted automatically, similar to how it happens in the actual survey? I'm looking to embed a question with five option choices (very satisfied - very dissatisfied) into email body. While the position of these choices adjusts automatically from horizontal to vertical in the actual survey when viewing on mobile, all five choices for embedded question are arranged horizontally and are wrapped mid-word which has an impact on overall look and feel. My understanding is that this could be resolved using custom coding - have you done anything similar? What would be a good starting point? We do not want to modify the question itself. Thanks, Natalya

Hi,I am looking to have responders answer the airport they go to using the Select2 feature. As they type, a list of pre-set airports will come up from which they can choose from.There are many airports, and therefore, Select2 can slow down. I have therefore been looking into pagination and ajax commands, but I am so lost. I have reviewed many forums, including the ones below. Unfortunately, I am still having trouble implementing this.https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/4105/select2-implementation ,https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/4111/formatting-multi-selects-in-select2-code https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/3524/using-select2-to-create-an-auto-complete-multiple-select-box-question https://select2.org/data-sources/ajax Could I get some help or be pointed in the correct direction in how I may create a database of airport names, connect it to a select2 single-select input, and incorporate pagination? Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi there,I know next to nothing about JS. I added two embedded variables to a survey (timeStampPRE and timeStampPOST). Now I am trying to get these variables to populate with the time when a participant starts and ends a key block within the survey.I tried adding javascipt to the question before the key block...Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function(){var timeStampPRE = new Date();});and the next question after the key block....Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){ var timeStampPOST = new Date();});But the fields show up as blank. How can I get these timestamps to show up in the embedded data fields?Thank you!Liz

Hi,I'm trying to call the API for getting all participants from the employee directory.For that, I need the directoryId.I know where to find the directory id for the XM Directory from CX, but can't seem to find it for EX...I tried using the POOL_ directory id from the default directory of CX, and also the ID that is in the url when I navigate to the Employee Directory (so https://tenant.eu.qualtrics.com/EX/GlobalDirectory/GlobalDirectory?#someIdHere)Both of those calls return a 403 unauthorized (while I am brand admin).Can anyone help?

Hi,I setup a survey question and I would like to use my participant response (a number between 0-100) as the limit for a random function (embedded data) in Qualtrics. The random function will be used to return a response in the next question for the person, e.g. "You gave away 80 points, and received 30 points in return". I need to utilize the participant response as the limit because setting rand (0:100) means that I might return values that are above the amount that the participant reported.After going through the community posts, I understand that it is impossible to place embedded data directly in the rand to reference, since rand can only read numerals. Is there a way to use Javascript to record the information? Thank you very much for your help!

I am currently trying to add all selected options from three different multi-select questions into one drop-down question so the user can select which of their selected programs is their primary program of interest. Based on this question (https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/9584/multiple-choice-track-individual-selected-choices-in-piped-text) I learned that this isn't possible to do without JavaScript, so I built out my code, but for some reason, it is not populating to the embedded data fields I set up. I know it's getting the correct data and my for loops are looping through the arrays correctly. Please help!Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){ var certAll = "${q://QID17/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}"; var mastersAll = "${q://QID15/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}"; var phdAll = "${q://QID19/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}"; var certArr = certAll.split(', '); var mastersArr = mastersAll.split(', '); var phdArr = phdAll.split(', '); for (var i = 0; i < certArr.length; i+

I have a simple question. I am wondering if it is possible to replace all instances of an embedded data using my browser's console. For example, suppose I define an embedded variable in my survey `var = cat`. I then create the rest of my survey and pipe in my var in several places and everything runs normally.I am wondering if it possible modify this variable within the Chrome console. For example is it possible using the console I could do something like Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("var", "dog") and have my survey page to reload to show what it would look like under this new value?
