Defining a variable for desktop vs. mobile participation
Hi! I want to track if participants took part in a survey with their mobile device / a tablet / a desktop computer.
I know I can add a hidden question with browser meta info. However, this tracks the user agent and other stuff, but isn’t aggregated in the way described above.
So my question is how can I aggregate such info to get this broader info? I know from other platforms (like Decipher) that they automatically probvide this aggregated info. Is this also available on Qualtrics or is there maybe a matching list of browser user agents to devices?

You can set the condition in survey flow and create embedded data how the survey is being taken.
Something like this.
Yes, that was my idea as well. However, AFAIK, “Device Type” is not something Qualtrics automatically saves, no? Or am I mistaken, so from the Meta Info I only get:
Device Type is part of the user agent, but since there are uncountable user agents and devices, I was wondering if Qualtrics has some pre-coded aggregations for it, so that I can basically use a similar survey flow as you have described above.
Ah, nevermind...I just see that Device Type is indeed pre-coded and available in the branch condition! That’ll work.
However, I think with this approach, I can make distinctions between Mobile vs. non Mobile. But how can I distinct mobile from tablet, e.g. iPhone vs. iPad. Because in the device type it also has “Android”, but this could be a mobile phone or a tablet.
Is there any information about how device type is generated?
May be you should make use of screen resolution.
Yes, I found this in another question, but would still need some assistance in setting up the proper JS code:
