The goal of this weekly series is to help users find support pages or community posts that relate to the topic. Remember to always contact Qualtrics Support for product-related issues or urgent questions. Getting Started Mondays | January 29th 2024 Topic: QSF Whether you want to transfer a survey to a different account or simply keep a survey backup on your computer, exporting as a QSF is your best option. While a QSF or Qualtrics Survey Format file will not contain any response data, it will contain survey formatting and settings, including any questions in your trash. This export method makes it easy to share survey templates via email by adding the QSF file as an attachment. This method differs from simply collaborating or duplicating a survey since there are no restrictions regarding survey ow

Remember to always contact Qualtrics Support for product-related issues or urgent questions. Getting Started Mondays | January 22nd 2024 Topic: Table of Contents Back buttons are one of the most useful features for respondents when taking a survey, but their usefulness relies on the length of the survey. Once a survey gets too long the back button becomes less effective and the table of contents element starts to be the better option. The table of contents is an element added to the survey flow that allows respondents to see a list of all the blocks included and the ability to navigate to any block. You can customize this feature by adding a header, adding a custom introduction message, s

Getting Started Mondays | January 8th 2024 Topic: Auto-Number Questions Question numbers are not only a good way to identify your questions while reviewing your survey data, but they can also be displayed to respondents to allow them to keep an eye on their survey progress. While question numbers can be manually edited, the longer a survey gets, the more tedious manually changing question numbers becomes. If you’d like all your numbers to be in order, you can use Auto-Number Questions to order all the question numbers in your survey at once. The numbering options you can choose from include seque

Getting Started Mondays | December 11th 2023 Topic: Using Post Survey Options It happens to everyone, you click on a survey link you’ve been planning on taking for a while just to be greeted with the default message of “Your session has expired, and your response, if any, has been recorded.” If you don’t remember taking this survey, this message can cause some confusion and lead to a poor respondent survey experience. The Post-Survey options tab, located in Survey Settings, allows survey creators to send thank-you emails to respondents and add a message for respondents who select a personalized l

Survey Availability is the updated version of survey expiration; this setting allows you to set an expiration date when the survey will be closed to new respondents. You can choose between setting a specific start & end date or allowing the survey to collect responses so long as the status is active. For a more personalize

Getting Started Mondays | November 27th 2023 Topic: Generating Test Responses It’s easy to get excited about distributing a newly created survey and overlook the testing phase, however, this excitement and lack of testing can unfortunately lead to negative survey experiences and subpar data collection. To help mitigate this poor survey experience, you can generate test responses before sending out your survey to ensure that your survey is acting and collecting data exactly as expected. There’s no need to be careful when choosing the number of test responses you wish to generate since the response

Getting Started Mondays | November 20th 2023 Topic: Setting Values from the Survey URL A commonly overlooked tool is the Survey URL, by adding embedded data field names and values to the end of the survey link you can still bring embedded data into the survey for each respondent. This feature comes in handy when you have the survey link posted in multiple places and want to know which source is bringing in the most responses. For example, if you have your survey posted on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, you can add an embedded data field in your survey flow and a Source field and value to your

Getting Started Mondays | November 6th 2023 Topic: Using an NPS Question Net Promoter Score or NPS is one of the most popular options to measure customer satisfaction and for the survey makers’ convenience, it is built directly into Qualtrics as a question type. NPS measures how willing a customer is to recommend a product or service by splitting the responses into three categories based on the scale point the respondent selects. After splitting the responses into either the Detractor, Passive, or Promoter group, the overall score can be calculated by taking the percentage of respondents who are p

Remember to always contact Qualtrics Support for product-related issues or urgent questions. Getting Started Mondays | October 30th 2023 Topic: Allow Text Entry When multiple-choice questions are used, respondents are required to choose the answer choice that they believe to be true, but what happens when the respondent deems all of the answer choices incorrect? These situations are where you most commonly see the “Other” answer choice implemented. The Allow Text Entry option lets you add a text box to your answer choice so respondents can enter their own unique responses. You can also add text entry validation so you can ensure that when that choice is selected, the text box is required

Getting Started Mondays | October 23rd 2023 Topic: Custom Validation Messages If you’ve taken a survey before and attempted to proceed to the next page only to be stopped by a vague error message, then you completely understand the feeling of frustration a respondent feels when they don’t know what needs to be fixed to continue. These experiences dissuade respondents from taking your future surveys and may even lead them to abandon their current survey session altogether. To minimize these negative experiences, we can choose clear default messages or create descriptive custom validation messages.
