Participant Specific Auto-Advance

Hi, I am trying to use javascript to auto-advance participants through questions using their reaction time from previous questions. I have a practice block that contains 6 questions. I need qualtrics to get the time it takes the participant to answer each of the 6 questions and then calculate an average practice time. Then in my subsequent blocks I need participants to be auto-advanced to the next question after their average practice time plus 2.5 standard deviations has elapsed. I do not have much experience with javascript and would appreciate all the help I can get.

Using unique page timer for randomized questions?

I have a survey that involves showing participants images for a certain number of seconds. Each image should be shown for a unique amount of time, e.g. image1 for 2 seconds, image2 for 5 seconds, image3 for 1 second. I want each page to show only one image and I want to randomize the order of images. I tried using the setTimeout function, but when I add page breaks and randomize the questions it only shows one image in my block. How would I fix this, or do it differently to make it work?

Auto-advance by clicking on heatmap regions

Hi all, I´m using the following Javascript code to both hide my next button and make advancing to the next page conditional on clicking on the current page. Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { $('Buttons').hide(); var that = this; this.questionclick = function(event,element){ that.clickNextButton(); } }); This works very well. But I want to modify it such that the transition happens only when "Region1" of the heatmap is clicked on. Could any of you help me with that piece of the code? Thank you, Rah

Qualtrics - Mailinglist contacts API

Hi folks, Are there any known issues with the mailing list contacts API? Im trying to pull the contacts out of a mailing list but getting an "Invalid mailinglistid" when I try. Im fairly sure the mailinglistid is fine as it is returning the correct result on a direct mailing list query. Summary of process below with a made up mailinglist id Run https://yourdatacenterid.qualtrics.com/API/v3/mailinglists/CG_ABC12345678 Get a correct JSON response including the name etc. Run https://yourdatacenterid.qualtrics.com/API/v3/mailinglists/CG_ABC12345678/contacts Get an error back including httpStatus:400 - Bad Request, errorMessage:Invalid mailinglistId., errorCode:GPR_1 Im not sure how/why I can get an invalid mailinglistid when querying for contacts when it works just fine against the mailinglist directly. Im seeing this result on multiple different brands I have access to so it seems to be a more general problem, or something Ive done wrong. Anyone run into this before or have any suggest

Position of two text entry fields in multiple choice question

Boolean logic query

Hi there, I hope i'm in the right place. I'm looking to use a question using 3 components to branch to a termination page. Using boolean logic I have "If A is less than x or B is less than x or C is less than x" Send to termination page. I am finding that it will direct if A is less than x (great!). But if A is less and B or C is greater than x it will still direct to the termination page. I am looking for the direction page only if A, B and C all have scores less than x e.g. If X= 5 and if A is 5, B is 0 and C is 0 then proceed with the study A is 0, B is 5 and C is 0 then proceed with the study A is 0, B is 5 and C is 5 then proceed with the study I can't quite get my head around it, can anyone help out?

How to reference to a selected choice on the current page that hasn't been submitted yet?

Dear All I am looking to take a respondent's currently selected (but not yet submitted) choice, perform a mathematical operation on it and then display it to the respondent on the same page as the question, so they can see the result before they submit their answers. The code I am currently using (placed in the HTML view section of a subsequent question that is on the same page) (note: I don't actually attempt to perform the mathematical operation yet as the choice is not being pulled properly - this is merely meant to display their currently selected choice at the moment); Code <p id="test"></p> <script> var myVar = setInterval(myFunction, 2000); function myFunction() { var y = parseInt(${q://QID21/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/1}); document.getElementById("test").innerHTML="The value of y is " + y + "."; } </script> Output *After 2 seconds, "The value of y is NaN." appears on the screen and doesn't change if the value of q:/

Enabling Button not working as intended

Hello everyone, I am new here, so please bare with me if my format is wrong. Here is what's going on. I have a custom next button using JS. After clicking on custom next button twice, it will have a popup asking user to confirm. What I want is, if the user is sure, then I can record what his answer was (as an embedded data field) and go on to the next question. However, a weird problem occurred, I can only record the user choice but cannot let it automatically go on to the next page. Here is the code inside addOnload function. if(buttonStatus){ if(confirm('Are you saying that if I offer you $' + (parseInt(confirmFinal())+1) + ', you will take it and not take the gamble? And if I offer you $'+ (parseInt(confirmFinal())-1) + ', you would take the gamble for sure?')) { this.clickNextButton(); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('userChoice1', confirmFinal() ); return; } else{ rese

How do I record multiple clicks on a single multiple choice question

When a user responds to a multiple choice question (one question per page), I want to record their first response and a second one if they change their mind. I know the timing question records time until a first click is made and the time for the last last click on a page, but I want to know WHAT was clicked on. This ability will be useful to educators teaching with Qualtrics.

Create complex spreadsheet-like form which dynamic number of rows

I'm trying to create a form that allows users to seamlessly add information about each of the members that are on their team without resorting to a kludgy loop and merge over multiple pages. Here's what I'm envisioning: a participant is asked how many people are on their team. Based on this answer a spreadsheet-like data matrix is generated on the next page with the number of rows equal to the number of people on a given team. They can fill in the names of their teammates in one column, and they can answer questions about each member using dropboxes and sliding scales on other rows. Something like this: ! Is this possible in Qualtrics? What is the right way to go about implementing this?

How to restrict the number of times participants can play audio

Hello all! Does anyone know how to restrict the number of times participants can play audio attached to a question? I would like my participants to hear each fragment only once. However, I do not want to remove the play button and let the sound autoplay, because they should have some time to read the question before they play the sound fragment. I hope to hear from someone!

Using embedded data in piped text code

Is it possible to use embedded data in piped text code? Specifically, I’m trying to choose which loop and merge column (not row) is used based on which response is picked in an earlier dropdown list. So, I’m trying to save the order number of their selection from the dropdown list (embedded data in Survey flow: selection = $e{ q://QID1/SelectedChoicesRecode + 1 }) and pipe that number into the loop and merge piped text code so that it selects the correct row when populating that part of my question (e.g., How often do you shop at ${lm://Field/selection}?). Is there a way to make this work?

Autoscroll page for Pick, group, rank question

Hello, I have a Pick, group, rank question that has about 20 items. It's extremely difficult to drag the item to the box because the page doesn't scroll down when you move the item. Stacking items is not an option because participants need to see all the items at once.... I think adding the CSS code is the only way but I don't know how I found an answer here with using the jQuery but I'm really lost... Would anyone please help? How do I build the code? how to I append it? Thank you!

Removing suggested videos work around

As I’m sure most people are aware, or if not then surprise, Youtube depreciated their rel=0 tag so you can’t easily remove suggested videos or loop it. I tried uploading it as a mp4 which got rid of the suggested videos but it also has prevented me from getting the video to loop back to the first frame and let the user view the video again or pause it.

Is there a way to build a feed to automatically update a drop down list?

I need an automated solution that will update a drop down list. Possibly from an Excel file or a contact list. I'm open to other ideas as well. However, I don't have the option to use a third party tool unless it's already behind our firewall. So that limits my options a bit. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
