This is, what I believe, would be a fairly easy feature to add but without a very large use case. I’ve added a screenshot of where the functionality is that I’m referring to. 

So for background, I am an assistant professor in psychology and I conduct social psychological research on interpersonal relationships, human motivation, goals, etc. I’m in the process of designing a new survey that has a fairly complex data structure. I’ll spare as many details as I can, but over a 12-week period, each week respondents will answer questions about themselves, and questions about 5 other people in their lives. Using xm directory and workflow functionality, I aim to use the completion of a simple (but for our purposes, irrelevant) baseline survey to trigger the distribution of the weekly survey. Ideally, I’d like to have the completion of the baseline survey trigger a total of 12 distributions.

Now, if these were surveys to be completed daily or monthly, I would have no problem using the current functionality because distribution surveys via email can be scheduled in advance using days or months (not weeks). However, because I want to conduct a weekly survey, I need something in between. If the total number of distributions totaled less than 1 month, I could use the daily function (e.g., scheduling survey distributions at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days). Currently, I can see no work around that allows for equal interval scheduling of distributions like this, while still preserving the setup I need for contact lists, embedded data, and other pass-through information.

Also, if there’s some solution to this that others see that I don’t, please let me know. In some other correspondence w/ Qualtrics, it doesn’t seem to be the case, but who knows!
