Skeptical of Survey Data? Community Poll Open Now ✔️Poll

Are you or your stakeholders skeptical of survey data? Many are becoming increasingly skeptical of survey data, in terms of relevance, inherent bias, and retrospective views. How can a broader cross-section of distribution methods can improve this sampling? Do you have any examples of how broadening your sampling methods across multiple channels improved data quality and reduced bias? Has anyone done this analysis across your own internal or external customer base? Tell us in the comments how one can improve the integrity of survey results 🤔

Embedding a signature in an e-mail trigger?

I'm trying to replicate a paper form that requires a signature, and then e-mail a printable copy of this form to the respondent and the administrative personnel responsible for processing the form.I am using the Signature Question field but don't know how to embed its answer as with other survey questions or embedded data.How do I embed the response to a Signature Question in an e-mail trigger? I already tried checking "Include response report" and "Show full question text" but neither of those include the signature.

FlatPickr in "New Survey Experience"

I haven’t seen an update on this in a couple of months and now that Qualtrics is making a new push for the  “New Survey Experience” (Simple Layout) I wanted to see if anyone had a solution for Qualtrics not saving the date when using Flatpickr?  I’m adding the following in my header: <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flatpickr/4.2.3/flatpickr.css"><link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flatpickr/4.2.3/themes/dark.css"><script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script><script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flatpickr/4.2.3/flatpickr.js"></script> And the following in the JavaScript:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){jQuery("#question-"+this.questionId+" .text-input").flatpickr({    dateFormat: "m/d/Y"});}); However, while everything appears to work correctly when taking the survey, Qualtrics is not actually saving  the value that

Carousel Javascript Randomization

Hello, I have a list of 10 items that I want to randomize by splitting them into two sets: the first set is shuffled randomly, and the second set is reordered to align with the shuffled order of the first. For example, an accepted shuffle of A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, A2, B2, C2, D2, E2 would be B1, E1, C1, A1, D1, B2, E2, C2, A2, D2.  I was able to do this for a side-by-side question, however my logic doesn’t seem to work for a matrix type question that is displayed as carousel. My JS code is overwritten and the cards are shown in the non-shuffled order. I would appreciate any pointers. Please find my code below. Thank you! Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {    //get container    var questionContainer = this.getQuestionContainer();    if (!questionContainer) {        console.error('container not found');        return;    }    //get cards    var cards = questionContainer.querySelectorAll('.CarouselCard');         if (cards.length === 0) {        console.error('no cards');

How to make embedded YouTube video adjust to device screen size

Hello, everyone!I’m struggling to ensure that my videos display well for all participants regardless of the device they are using to complete the survey. I’m talking about smartphones, tablets, and laptops/desktops.I’ve embedded YouTube videos using the HTML code from YouTube.When the HTML code used a height of 315 and a width of 560, the videos were only partially displayed on my smartphone’s screen (Samsung A71).I found a suggestion here https://community.qualtrics.com/custom-code-12/resize-videos-to-fit-screen-24737 to change the width in the HTML code to “100%” and the height to “auto.”After that change, the videos started fitting on my Samsung phone screen, though the useful area of the video, the one with the picture showing information, became a bit smaller.At the same time, the computer version of the video became long and narrow, and the video itself occupies a very small part of the screen while about two-thirds of the area is black space:My question is: Is there any HTML cod

Question: Sending Reminders and Combining Repeated Measures Data in Qualtrics

Hey Qualtrics Wizards!I have two related questions about setting up a repeated-measures survey in Qualtrics: Reminders: Is it possible for Qualtrics to send automatic reminder emails to participants who forget to complete a session? If so, how can I configure this feature to ensure participants stay on track? Combining Data: For a repeated-measures study with multiple sessions, is there a way to combine all the participant responses into one excel spreadsheet rather than having separate datasets for each session? If this is possible, I’d appreciate guidance on how to set it up. Thank you for your insights and suggestions!

Auto-Populate Field in Drill Down Group Using JavaScript

I need help automating responses within a drill-down question in Qualtrics. Specifically, I have three groups in the drill-down question:Group 1: Income in 2023 (answer options: income ranges). Group 2: Whether income has changed in 2024 compared to 2023 (answer options: Yes/No). Group 3: Income in 2024 (answer options: income ranges).I want to automatically populate Group 3 with the same value as Group 1 if the respondent selects "No" for Group 2. For example, in my picture, the field for 2024 will be automatically display Less than €12,189 if the answer to changes is no. This would save respondents from having to manually select the same value again in Group 3. I am completely new to JavaScript and would really appreciate your help!

Excluding Data from Denominator

In our dashboard, we want to exclude an answer choice, because that choice means that during the observation that “thing” was not happening. For instance, in an ELAR room, it was not the time of day for fluency instruction, so that was “NP” or “Not Present”, but because the Agency requires us to choose that option the data is skewed. I went into the Dashboard data and chose “exclude from analysis”, unfortunately, that only excludes that option from showing. It doesn’t remove that data from the denominator. Is there a way to exclude the surveys from that widget that chose that answer? In the graphic attached, I excluded NP,  which would make the 35% a 70%.

Trouble setting up e-mail triggers

Hi,I'm trying to set up e-mail triggers to re-send the survey link to my participants a week after they've completed a portion of it. At the start of the survey my participants fill out a question asking for their e-mail adress. I'm trying to set up the e-mail triggers so that these e-mail adresses are automatically used by qualtrics so that i dont have to manually add every e-mail adress. So far i've tried two ways: setting up e-mail triggers setting it up as a workflowI'm pretty sure my conditions are set up correctly, I think qualtrics just has trouble finding the e-mail adresses that my participants filled out? I'll add screenshots so maybe one of you can figure out what i'm doing wrong Thanks in advance for your help!

Randomization with later recall?

Hi, I am having a randomization issue and I could use some assistance. Let’s say my survey has two blocks, Block A and Block B. In Block A, I would like to display three images on one page: the first one will be randomly selected from images 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6; the second will be image 7; the third will be image 8. These three images need to be displayed together on the same page (as a text/graphic question) in randomized order.Later, in Block B, I would like to randomly display one image: either image 7, or image 8, or the selected image from set 1-6 that was displayed in Block A.I have been trying to accomplish this using the randomizer in survey flow but I have failed so far. I can get it to do what I need it to do in Block A, but when I get to Block B, it displays an image, but not the correct one. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Personal links not working

Hello everyone,I am using the personal links for distributing an end of program survey to my graduating students. Immediately following launch, I had four students reach out and tell me that they received the message “You have either already completed the survey or your session has expired.”I instructed the students to clear their cache and cookies and that did not work for them. I ended up sending them one off links I generated individually. Those links worked without an issue.The students use a shibboleth SSO to get access to the survey. The students receiving the message said they are not being asked to complete the shibboleth. I double checked and the shibboleth is in the correct place and active. I have set the links to expire after 90 days. I also set the ability to return to complete the survey to 1 year.Previously, I tested the personal links function before and they all worked. I have sent them through email and through mail merge with outlook and both have worked. This is the

How to record unselected multiple choices as response data?

Hi everyone,I am building a Q methodology survey by using exclusion method. I have 40 statements.  I start with 16 agree/disagree statements out of 40.Then, using choice forward function, 2 statements out of 16, followed by 3 statements out of remaining 14, then 5 statements out of 11. So I don’t have to ask for the last remaining 6. Because participants do not need to select, the last 6 statements are not recorded as you can see in the screenshot.Is there any way, the unselected choices are recorded as response?  ps: I suppose I can make the another questions with the remaining 6 statements  and ask participants to select all. I would have to do it for agree, disagree and neutral and it would be unnecessary and boring for participants. I would rather avoid that if we have a way to get around that.

Loop & Save? Household survey with multiple saved records

My application is doing a survey of everyone in a household where I want the answers to some common core questions (e.g., What region of the country is this?  Is this a house, apartment, or communal residence?  What year was the building built?,  Date of the survey?) plus the answers to questions unique to each household member (e.g., what’s your age?  For whom do you plan to vote? etc.) where I don’t want to do a Loop & Merge into one very long record, but a record stored for each household member that combines the answers to the core questions along with the answers to the member-specific questions.The number of household members will, as you’d expect, vary from household to household.What’s the most elegant solution to make this happen that doesn’t require someone to re-enter the core questions for each household member?

How to add specific IDs to the survey flow

Hi All, I am new to this community and I am very excited to share knowledge and experience with great people here.I am working on a survey that has some questions with images, which we use the library to show the participants. The participants see the questions with the data title we assigned for each question, so there is no problem with that. However, in the exported dataset, we get inconsistent IDs for such questions that seem to be randomly assigned to the question.When I contacted Qualtrics support regarding this manner, they provided detailed instructions on how to add specific IDs to the survey flow, that include Adding Embedded Data, Setting, and Using the Piped Text to Insert the Embedded Data the Value. I followed those instructions and was able to add the embedded data fields for the questions that have these artifacts.
