collect one statement about forty plus people chosen from drop down menu | XM Community
Skip to main content

Can anyone recommend the best way (please) to collect feedback (text entry) for a large number of people (~40) listed in a dropdown menu? We are collecting positive feedback from our residents about the faculty they interact with and hope to give them an opportunity to select faculty they work with - one by one and submit a text response. The aim is to allow them to do this for as many of the people listed in a dropdown menu as possible. i.e .if they have something to say about 20 of the 40 people listed, or 39 of the 40 people listed.

 

The survey will go out to 60 trainees and we hope to create the easiest way for them to provide a nice statement about as many participants as they are willing to comment on. We don’t need to record who is saying what. We are just concerned with getting the highest number of comments possible for each faculty member.

 

Thank you in advance - i am very new to Qualtrics. JF

Hi,

I’m not sure if you are planning for your residents to use one comment field for all faculty they interacted with, or if there will be a separate comment field for each faculty person. But in either case, I would avoid listing the faculty in a drop-down question because it will be a bit unwieldy for the respondent to select from a list of 40. 

Instead, you might consider listing the 40 faculty in an MC select all that apply question, or in a Matrix where the respondents have to selected Yes or No for each one. That will make the survey easier to interact with and give it a cleaner look.

Thank you @MatthewM !! 

I envisioned using a separate comment field for each faculty person. 

I will try with both options - thank you very much for giving me a huge assist here. Appreciate this!
