@TohS thanks, this is indeed a better option for my scenario. i hope something like it can be more automated/customizable within the qualtrics reporting module in the future.
a-ha! thank you @TomG
@TomG great idea. just tested this, and it seems to work. i wonder what will happen to my variable if i delete that test data later. i will test, but otherwise, i think it's viable. Do you happen to know how to go back and edit an existing custom bucketing variable? obviously i can see where to add them, but i don't see an obvious place to edit. i.e. what if i need to adjust my buckets later? thanks a bunch.
To further explain, my test data only contains values in the range 40-60 for this embedded data variable. When creating my bucketing custom var, the system won't let me define percentile ranges that are outside of the realm of my "collected" data, even though I want to pre-define them all at once.
to follow up on this long-ago answered question of mine, the provided answer was correct about embedded data. i finally learned how to use it and math operations to get this desired functionality. thanks!
ahh. just checked, and it's already set to "None".
@TomG - thanks for the suggestion! will give this a shot (if I can find where to set it). in further testing last night on my android phone, i did notice the mobile option called "Full Desktop Site" that can be switched on. when i did that, the auto-save worked as expected. i guess it's just isolated to when the "mobile" version is opened by default using the email click-through. strange, since this works fine on apple phones. i'll see what impact the "Page Transition" change has. out of curiosity, what is this setting supposed to be for in the first place?
to follow on with an update to this issue...I contacted support, but the problem still persists. after further troubleshooting, we've determined that the auto-save does work with the Android/Chrome combo, ONLY if you hit the submit button, leave, then come back. i.e. if we have 20 sliders on one page, if the user fills in 5, leaves and comes back later (without a submit), the 5 answers do not persist. This functionality works fine on iPhone/Apple/other devices. However, if the same scenario happens and the user hits submit before leaving (the survey will correctly complain because 15 items still need an answer), something does happen on that action that retains the in-progress responses, because if you leave then and come back the 5 will persist. Still confused, but need to get this resolved. Anyone have similar experiences, or insight? Thanks in advance.
verified with colleagues it works fine on iPhone. Anyone have insight on Android?
I just noticed that the auto-save answers from my laptop are persisting across to mobile. i.e. when i re-visit my email invitation link on my mobile, I can see the auto-saved responses from my laptop session. it just appears that any responses i make on mobile are not auto-saved in any way.
That's great, thank you for the tip. Does anyone have sample code that might demonstrate how to do this?
Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure why I didn't think of this earlier, but I ended up just building informed consent straight into the survey as a block up front. This way I can use survey flow and branches to either let them proceed or not depending on their response to that question block. Would there be any best practice reason to have informed consent in a completely separate survey (as we were originally discussing)? Thanks!
Thanks, this is awesome!!! It makes total sense, and does work, but still seems to require the second survey to be anonymous. Is there a way around that? i.e. have the second survey's responses "tracked" from the personalized link as well?
There's another slight problem with this approach (unless it can be done non-anonymously). I generated some personalized links to the survey (which point to the first survey, the informed consent one). I can email these out to respondents, but if they accept the informed consent, start the survey, leave, and try to continue the survey later, they will get an error that says you've already completed the survey or your session has timed out. This makes sense because the personalized link really points to the informed consent form, and not the actual survey. Anyone know if there's a way around this, or has anyone else encountered this when dealing with informed consent?
Thanks! This link was very helpful. I was able to get it working with both surveys setup as anonymous. I think that will be fine, but I wonder if we eventually choose to make it invitation only will this still be possible?
