Sending emails to email address of contacts that aren't the actual contact..

Hi Qualtrics users!So I had a question, the contacts I hold in the directory include a wealth of embedded data. Some of that data includes the names/email addresses of the people in my company who are the customers contract manager.Is it possible to use Qualtrics to email those people rather than the customer contact by using their embedded data somehow ?I'll explain my thinking.I plan to invite 100 customers into our NPS survey process. Before i invite them, I want to give the contract managers a heads up Because all the useful embedded data is already attached to the contact, I was wondering if I could someone pull the customer info and send that to the contract managers so they have a heads up who is going to surveyedThe 100 customers then get their inviteI might be thinking to much into this but I can't see any way to do it so thought i'd ask the experts!CheersRicM

How to create a question within a matrix containing both numerical and categorical options per item

Hello all,I'm putting out a survey and one of the questionnaires has slightly complicated question items. Each item requires two responses: the first is a 0-10 rating (e.g how much or intense something was), and the second is categorical (i.e ticking a box). I'm not sure how to create multiple responses like this within a matrix in Qualtrics. Any ideas?Best wishes,Dom

Clearing embedded data during the survey flow

Hi, at present, our survey pulls in a lot of embedded data dependant on the site the customer has visited from a contact list at the beginning of a survey. we then use this embedded data to set display logic for each of the questions. The problem I am having is when you view a full response within a dashboard it displays all of this data. Is there a way of wiping/deleting embedded data out of a response during the survey flow before it is recorded? I have tried to pull in from another contact list that has these fields blank but it does not work Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

How do you handle partial completions?

We are a B2B media company, and most of our surveys are of our readers. With most surveys, I have been setting the Survey Option for Partial Completions to be to save after one week. However, this often seems to save surveys with no questions answered by the respondents, but it still counts against my annual quota of completed responses. Would this be affected by putting the Survey Metadata question first - so that it counts as a response because the metadata is collected even if the respondent doesn't answer a question? Or does the fact that the respondent opens the survey invitation count as a partial response?

Reporting - Excel Daily Email Trigger

Hi, I'm looking for an Excel report of all the data from a survey in a usable format. Users must login to Qualtrics to download the CSV or Excel from the Data & Analysis tab, then transform the data after deleting unnecessary columns (i.e. Response ID, IP Address, etc.). Is there a trigger that can send an Excel report to a designated person on a daily basis that contains basic information like: name, email address, survey questions, and answers? Any help would be appreciated.Brianna

Email distributions

Hi everyone,Has anyone had the experience with someone receiving an individual link (using the email distribution function) NOT be able to restart their survey? I had a respondent start their survey and when they went back to it, they were not able to go to the next question they needed to answer without first answering the questions they had already answered earlier. I looked at the data, and their responses had not been recorded.My understanding is that a respondent does not need to hit the next button for it to record, for the system does it automatically in real time. Now, this being said, they were the only one out of 30 who had an issue. Any insight would be great! Thank you.

Using labels multiple times for very long list of items

Is it possible to show the labels of a slider-question multiple times (as with matrix tables where you can show the headers above and at the bottom of the text...)? I have a rather long list of items, so it would be great to remind the respondents where the numbers stand for. Thanks!

Progress in survey by pressing Enter, with different time settings for different questions

I am interested in setting progress in the survey by pressing Enter. To do this I found the following code-Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {             var qid = this.questionId;             document.onkeydown = function(event) {                            console.log('keydown',event);                            if (event.which == 37) {                                          event.preventDefault();                                         Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.registry[qid].setChoiceValue(1, true);                            } else if (event.which == 39) {                                          event.preventDefault();                                         Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.registry[qid].setChoiceValue(2, true);                            } else if (event.which == 13) {                                          event.preventDefault();                                          jQuery('#NextButton').click();                            }             }});There are ques

Linking 2 surveys

At the end of my study there will be a lucky draw to win a prize. I am therefore trying to include a link to a sperate survey at the end of my main survey so that email addresses and contact numbers can be captured and still maintain the anonymity of my respondents.

Advanced in the survey contrary to definitions

I want to display pictures for fixed time. so I defined the "Auto-advance after" to 8 seconds, and to prevent the subjects from advancing by clicking on next button, I defined the "Enable submit after" to 15 seconds.But it is still possible to move forward by pressing "enter".I tried to disable it by using the next script:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() { this.hideNextButton();});and this too:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { this.disableNextButton();});but I still can move forward by pressing enter.note: I want to prevent the possibility of advancing only in some of the questions in block, so I can not use embedded data.any suggestions?I would be very grateful for your help!

Bucketing - copying from another survey

When I do reporting, I often want to look at regional differences, either at the US Census regional level or division level. In the survey itself, I typically ask their State using a drop-down question. I can then go to Data & Analysis>Tools>Create Variable and then create a new Region variable, and bucket the states into their regions. This is tedious. Since I have done it in other surveys, is it possible to copy over the bucketed variable? I know how to copy a question from another survey, but is it possible to copy the variable?

Remove special characters & linebreaks in text entry data (Response Export Automation export issue)

I am having an issue with Response Export Automation - Daily export as CSV file. There is an open-ended/text entry question in the survey and people have commas and insert line breaks in their text entry responses. When the file exports and then is loaded into our database, it creates additional separate rows/records. I really only need completion date and externaldatareference fields - but because I can't specify which fields to export in Automation Export, trying to figure out work-arounds... are there custom rules or coding i can add to survey to remove characters from data? Should I be using a different export format?

Random assignment of two conditions to multiple blocks within subject design

Hello,How should I design the flow of the survey for the following study:The study has 12 scenarios in total. Each scenario has two versions/conditions: conditionA and conditionB. I want each subject to see all the 12 scenarios in random order, with half of the scenarios shown in their conditionA and the other half shown in conditionB. The order of the conditions are also randomized. Therefore, each subject sees 6 randomly chosen scenarios in conditionA and the remaining 6 scenarios in conditionB with random order.

retake links and survey versions

Hi, I have a fairly straight forward question I think, but I cant find an answer for it. If a client starts a survey, then I find an error in the survey after they have started it, I can amend and publish, but the client will continue with the previous version they started. My changes won't show in the survey they are completing. After the client records their response, if I send them a retake link, will the retake point them to the latest version or the version they originally responded to?Thanks!TCA

How do I set up a survey

I am new to using Qualtrics and I am very confused. For my project I want to set up a Qualtrics page that has on a consent form (I already have as a word document) and a participation information sheet (Again I have as a word document). Somehow I want to put them onto a Qualtrics survey where the participant can read the information sheet and then complete the consent form electronically. I would like there to be a link to these sheets and somehow the consent form to be completed electronically where I can see who has provided consent. Many thanks

Matrix table on several screens

Hello, I want to create a matrix table with 15 items, which appear in random order. However, as it is too long for one screen I want to spread it over 3 screens (with 5 items in each). Is there a way to do it for a single matrix table? If not, and I need to create 3 separate matrix questions, can I condition that the items that appear on the following screens (2 & 3), did not appear on the previous screens (1 & 2)? Thank you!

Can I get Qualtrics to Randomly generate a number (within a defined range) for a participant

Due to COVID, I need to conduct an experiment using Qualtrics. The experiment is on budgeting. So, I want to participant to submit a budget, then I would like Qualtrics to randomly generate profit numbers (from a defined range)- which represents the actuals. For example, Question 1 asks the respondent to submit a profit budget for 2021- (respondent answers-- let's assume they say "$120")Question 2- I would like Qualtrics to generate a number within a range of profit possibilities (e.g., $100-$200) - and display it on the screen. Let's say Qualtrics selects "$140"Question 3- would compare the entry from the respondent in Q1 ($120) versus Q2 ($140) and show: Profit beat budget by $20 ($140 actuals- $120 budget).Is this possible?

I need to create individualized score reports for a quiz, using categories. help!

I have a 15 question quiz designed to identify someone'e communication style. Each question has 4 possible answers: Never, Sometimes, Often and Always. I have assigned each word value a numeric score (1, 2, 3, 4). The 15 questions correspond to 5 different categories. Each category has 3 questions that measure the person's response. Each question only applies to one category. I need the quiz to sum up the total score for each category, and then to create an output report for me that shows each individual quiz taker and their score, with a summary of their scores across the 5 categories. I created the categories in the Scoring area, but I don't know how to pull a report with the data I need. I have no idea how to do this AND I am 99% confident Qualtrics has a way to do it. Can you help me figure this out? Thank you so much.

Calculating Totals/Averages

Hello, I have created a small survey to collect peer ratings from students.As the image above shows:Q1: Asks a student to select his/her name out of 5 students - as the Rater:Student 1; Student 2; Student 3; Student 4; Student 5.Q1.1: The selected student (e.g., Student 1) will rate Student 2, Student 3, Student 4 and Student 5, based on 4 likert-scaled questions:-- Student contributed meaningfully to tasks: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.-- Student did their share of the work: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.-- Student paid much attention: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.-- Student was willing to listen: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.At the end of the survey, I need to calculate the average score each student received over all 4 questions by all 4 of his/peers. So for example, if Student 1 is rated 4 across all questions, by each of his/her 4 peers, we should have a total score, calculated as follows:Student 1 Ratings: (Student 2: (4*4) = 16) + (Student 3: (4*4) = 16) + (Student 4: (4*4) = 16) = 48. Average = (48/3) = 16I have been trying to expo

Create a library of surveys for users to complete

Hello! I have a fairly pedestrian question with lots of common buzzwords, so I apologize if it has been previously answered somewhere and I wasn't able to find it. I work in higher education and we're needing to collect multiple survey responses over the course of our programs. I was wondering if it was possible to create a library of surveys to be distributed to each individual participant so they can view everything in one window, as opposed to sending out multiple survey links. If at all possible, it would be wonderful to also record whether or not they've completed the survey so they can reference the completion status on their own. As a very basic visual aide, this is what I was imagining:Account: John DoeSurvey 1: CompleteSurvey 2: IncompleteSurvey 3: Incomplete

Give a label to a random number generated

I want to put my respondents in an hypothetical scenario: suppose today is [dayofweek] (ex: Monday, or Friday).In order to do so, I generate a random number between 1 and 7, and call this variable "dayofweek". If the number randomly generated by Qualtrics is 1, I want to show "suppose today is Monday", if it is 2 I want to show "suppose today is Tuesday" etc.When I insert the embedded data field in my questionnaire, I can only show : ${e://Field/dayofweek}. So the respondent will only see "Today is 1" (or 2, or 5 depending on the number generated). Is there a way to give a label to the randomly generate number? In my case 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday etc.Thanks!
