I have spent days reading support docs and threads trying to figure out how to do what I need, and I keep hitting a point where there’s a line like, “Qualtrics just doesn’t do that.” I’m hoping there’s something I’ve overlooked or maybe some JavaScript that could be added to make it work. Here’s what the study wants to do:Start out with consent and a couple of screening questions. Select a random 20 of 50 video segments that each feature two characters.  This part is easy enough. Use something (I’ve been looking at loop and merge with randomization, survey flow with randomizer and groups, etc.) to show the same page of questions for each clip that has been selected. Each page would include the following questions (I’ve used LM fields to represent the data per clip, but would obviously add manually to each block if using survey flow instead): [Video clip embed code from LM field based on the randomized selection] Multiple choice question, 3 answer choices [pulled from LM fields in the

Hi all, I am attempting to code a slider that has the following features: no numbers appear above the slider,  have the words "very near" and "very far" appear at the start and end of the slider respectively, and not have the dot appear until the subject clicks on the slider.The correct outcome of this code is below:Despite the code being identical between questions, it does not work correctly for all questions.Specifically:1) for all questions, on mobile devices the slider fails to appear even after clicking on the line and registering an answer.2) When clicking to the next question, the numbers sometimes briefly appear above the line (here is a video of that behaviour: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ezJh1TrQMKDAgtFV7). 3) For some questions, "very near" is not visible above the lefthand-most section of the lineProblems 1) and 3) can be shown on the below screenshot:  Below is the code I have used for all questions:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){      /*Place your JavaScript h

We are using the Feedback Button and Overlay for the web display.  The size of the actual overlay on the screen is not ideal.  Is there any way to change the size of the overlay?  

Hello,I have many images in the graphics library and I need to export a list linking the file names and their corresponding image IDs that are in the code. I don’t think the platform can do this, but is there a way using javascript? Thank you!

Hi all,It’s relatively common in my space (as far as I can tell) for survey creators to add timing questions to all or most questions they add to their survey. While this is a safe practice, it can be tedious, so it’s usually reserved for the especially neurotic survey creator who is willing to input that effort. This seems like an easy thing for Qualtrics to make easy on survey creators. I have two features in mind. First, a simple toggle under “Question type” which says “automatically add timing questions” paired with a “set defaults” button so that creators don’t have to adjust each one.Do others think this is a useful idea? Is there already a feature like this? If it would be useful, are there other question types that would be useful to consider like this? One alternative is to generalize the toggle and have the creator set what type of second question type they want added (e.g., automatically adding a text-based question after a multiple choice one).I’m curious to hear people’s s

Hi Qualtrics Community!I need help! I need my videos to resize to fit screen/browser size. I looked at other posts and everything references an iframe code. That said, I am not seeing that in my code.How do I adjust my videos to auto adjust to screen size? Here is what I have now...<video width="auto" preload="auto" height="auto" controls="true" class="qmedia"><source type="video/mp4" src="https://feedback.ecommunity.com/CP/File.php?F=F_HmyF1HkDyr2BBzD"></video>

I have a pop-over survey running via an intercept. The intercept includes a few rules, including the user email not containing a particular string as captured via a javascript expression. This rule is working correctly to prevent the pop-over from being seen by the ineligible users. However, the survey is still capturing embedded data for these users in the survey data file. Additionally, I have multiple rows of embedded data for the same excluded users in the survey data.Here are the specific intercept rules:If current URL contains *****ANDIf time spent on site is greater than 30 secondsANDIf Javascript expression does not contain ***** (email domain to be excluded)ANDIf current intercept in this zone has not been seen in the last 60 daysAdditionally, the user must scroll 5% on the page to trigger the intercept (advanced option).Could anyone tell me why a survey that isn’t being presented to a set of users is still capturing embedded data for those users?Additionally, does the interce

I have a simple workflow where a survey triggers a ticket. What I would like to do is to have the ticket assigned only during work hours so that if a user submits the form outside of the day, the ticket is not assigned until the next morning. 

I want to integration for salesforce to create a contact on Salesforce or update if they do not exist using email as Key. Ideally, if the person has done a survey before, their email is created in Qualtrics and embedded data field “EmbeddedEmail” column through a qualtrics trigger to add the participant to contact list.  This data field is included in survey flow by ‘adding from contacts’ and is shown in the embedded fields as “EmbeddedEmail”For the Upsert integration, the Key selected is Email, and is linked to embedded data field “EmbeddedEmail” my assumption is that it would check against the emails previously entered that were stored on qualtrics and if it does not find them, it creates a contact and if it does not, it updates the contact with that email on SFWhen I do a survey, I get an error ‘empty search value’ in the workflow review. How could I get this to work? 

Hello, does anyone know how to add a question where the respondent can choose a color option from a color swatch? Thanks all! 

For one of the questions posed in my survey I have a few examples of answers that I would like participants to be able to view when they like to via a pop-up window. I have found one post on this community, but that does not seem to do the trick. The post is already a few years old, so it might not work for the current version. I am new to Qualtrics with no knowledge on coding, so if someone one knows the answer to my question I need very clear instructions to be able to use them. It would be great if someone could help out, thanks!

Hi everyone!I am creating a survey using the Qualtrics Survey API. I am not really familiar with the jargon, so please bear with me.I am able to do almost everything, that is, create surveys, create blocks, update flows, and create questions, but I cannot insert page breaks in my survey.Given the length and complexity of my survey, I do not want to insert them manually.I have tried to insert a Page Break by adding it to the BlockElements parameter in a variety of ways, as a put block request and as a post block request. I tried to post the JSON that I get after a get block request from a block with page breaks, but in all these cases, I always receive the same error message: "Invalid request. Missing or invalid parameter BlockElements." This happened even if I used the same exact JSON as the one received from a get request.I got in contact with customer service, and from what I have understood, they told me I should instead prepare a txt file because I cannot create a page break via Qu

Hi Everyone, I want to create a question similar to the one in the below image. If someone how to do it please let me know. Thanks in advance. 

I need to create a table in Snowflake for survey questions so that I can map those to responses - is there a way in the APIs to get this information.  Is there a java script or something that someone else has figured out?I want a table that would be an attribute table:SurveyID                    QuestionID                    Type                   DescriptionSVfhalfas                  QID 3 Text                      Text                   What makes them a trusted advisor to you?Then I create a table with response detailsSurveyID                    Contact ID                     QuestionID              Answer            SVfhalfas                  325048350                    QID 3 Text                blah blah blah

I have a multiple choice question where the answer options are dates (i.e. 9/11/23, 10/2/23, etc.). Each answer option should only be visible for 60 days beyond the date (i.e. 11/11/23, 12/2/23, etc.) In survey flow, I’ve set embedded data where CurrentDate = ${date://CurrentDate/SL}. But I’m not sure how to set up the choice display logic. Would it be “Display this Choice only if the following condition is met:Embedded Data | Current Date | Is Less Than | ${date://CurrentDate/SL} + 60 days”?? Or can I input 11/11/23 instead??Thanks for reading!  

Hi All! I am teaching myself how to write CSS code for qualtrics surveys and so far not doing too badly (thanks to this community). Where I am primarily stuck is knowing what the label (skin) names are for each of the question types and elements.I have listed some of them below and I am sort of figuring out what each of these elements represent, but it is hit or miss in some cases. I also find that I am missing some, or unable to change certain things. there must be a master reference list somewhere, yes? Can someone help?.Skin .InputText.Skin label.MultipleAnswer.Skin label.MultipleAnswer.q-focused .Skin label.SingleAnswer.Skin label.q-checkbox.Skin label.q-radio.Skin .Matrix .table-cell.Skin .q-matrix .answered-indicator span.Skin .q-matrix .table-cell

Hi all, I am hoping others can share their advice and experience around the following. I have been asked to facilitate research among our existing customer research pool to guage their awareness of our company’s wider product offering. Let’s suppose a customer purchases Apples from us. We follow up with target research around their experience of purchasing apples with us. However what I’ve been asked to explore is essentially a way to measure whether these customers were aware that we also sell, Bananas, Pears, Mangos, etc. I’m struggling with the approach of simply flat out asking ‘did you know about our other product offerings’. It seems quite blunt. Has anyone had any similar experiences with this research ask and might like to share their solution? Thanks!Harry 

Hi,I am currently working on creating a survey using Qualtrics, and I would like to incorporate ChatGPT as a tool within the survey. Specifically, I want to provide participants with a text box where they can type their questions, and then receive answers from GPT (I have already obtained the ChatGPT API and it has been successfully tested). I wanted to inquire if this integration is possible.

I need to validate the total of a constant sum question with three rows against the value of an embedded data value. If the sum of the constant question exceeds the value, then an error message should appear and prompt the respondent to revise their answers. Essentially, ${q://QID16/TotalSum} should be less than or equal to ${e://Field/S5b}. However, I can't call the total sum in drop downs in custom validation and I am unsure how to move forward from there. The equation I am looking at is as follows, but I do not know how to communicate this into Qualtrics. ${q://QID18/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/1} + ${q://QID18/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/2} + ${q://QID18/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/3} <= ${e://Field/S5b}, otherwise error.

Hi all,We are trying to import/build a survey with Scoring capabilities using the Qualtrics API.Upon creating each question with the API, we would like to also define the answer choice values used for scoring for those questions. This can normally be done manually for each question by going to Survey Options > Advanced > Scoring, but it would be a lot more efficient if we could do this through the API when we create each question.How would we do this or is it even possible? 

Our organization was attempting to push a QA Qualtrics survey to production. In the past, we had no issues authorizing the Qualtrics workflows to a salesforce sandbox instance, then re-authorizing those workflows to our production instance after testing.Since the updates to the interface dated March 30th, the option to re-authorize a Salesforce production login is no longer available, leaving us stuck with tons of updates to a survey that cannot be pushed to production. Our only two options so far:Pause all response recordings and create all the changes in the current production version of the survey. We attempted to clone the production survey in hopes to keep version control, however, the cloned survey's workflows are automatically authorized to the sandbox logins.Rebuild the workflows entirely. Selecting the correct Salesforce app and re-mapping hundreds of salesforce fields.Has anyone faced the same issues we are facing? What were your workarounds?https://www.qualtrics.com/support/

I’ve been trying to set the targeting logic for a web intercept to display if an Adobe Analytics custom event is equal to a certain value. I successfully added my Adobe Analytics account in the Admin tab under Extensions. However, I’m wondering if there’s anything else that I need to do to integrate Qualtrics with Adobe because the targeting logic isn’t working for the intercept.
