Embeded data field missing with anonymous link | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi folks,

I hope you all are doing well. I had an interesting issue after I launched a “form” kind of survey. We are conducting an assessment of Conn College curriculum called, Connections during campus-wide student presentations. The assessment was sent out to a group of evaluators using an anonymous link. The form contains presentation title from an embeded data field. I generated customized links and tested the survey. It worked like magic! The day of the student presentations I used an iPad to complete my evaluation using the anonymous link I sent to all the evaluators. Unfortunately, the presentation title was blank (see below). What am I doing wrong? How can I make embeded data work with anonymous link? I’m pretty confident that this should be possible that I might be doing something stupid. Any ideas?

Thank you.

Embeded data in survey flow:

 

 

 

 

@SCK02005 The embedded data have to get it’s value from something and ${e://Field…..} is a way of showing/assigning embedded data.
So what you’re doing at the beginning of the survey is assigning a fresh/blank embedded data with its own blank value. That’s why you have nothing

You can just leave the right side of the equation empty and it’s acctually telling you that it’s gonna get data from the respondent or URL. That’s how you populate the data.

With anonymous link, use querrystring. https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-flow/standard-elements/passing-information-through-query-strings/

@Nam Nguyen I think it is how it used to be “value will be sent from panel or url” and changed it with the = sign, trying to fix the issue on the go. Thanks for the info about querrystring--I think this what I ought to be doing to bring the embeded data, i.e., title into the form when distributing an anonymous link to folks. I will take a crack @ it. 

@Nam Nguyen No querrystring is not the one that would work for me. It brings information from those who are accessing the anonymous link. I have the data as embeded data. Now I’m not sure whether embeded data might work with the anonymous link.

@SCK02005 Embedded data work with every distribution type. The VALUE of the embedded data only decided in a few ways

  1. You manually give it a value: Tittle = Conn College presentation
  2. From the URL
  3. From the Respondent contact data
  4. From the survey question

I don’t know what you want so I just kinda list it here. But I think all you need to do is just write your title at the right side of the equation.
