Survey Platform

Hello,I am working on two separate surveys (a survey for caregivers and a survey for youth) and seek support in assigning random unique IDs to each dyad (a unique ID for each caregiver and a unique ID for each youth). For example, once John Doe (caregiver) and Sarah Doe (youth) each complete their respective surveys, they will be assigned their own unique ID that will identify them as a dyad (e.g., John Doe: 10000JD and Sarah Doe: 10000SD). So how do I assign two unique IDs per dyad that will also link both separate surveys, if possible?I am new to Qualtrics so I would appreciate the simplification of steps.Thanks!

Hi! I’ve set up a loop and merge to randomly display x number of loops from an L&M table where is row is for a different video clip and the fields are all the info getting piped into questions (character names, images, etc). My attention check question in each loop shows the correct answer and two distractors in randomized order for that video, like so:...where gym class is in field 13 (distractor), party is field14 (distractor) , and hang out is field12 (correct answer). In the data it just records the piped text code rather than the selected answer.   I looked around here to try and find an answer given to someone else looking for the same thing, but I didn’t really find the same situation -- I found non-L&M instructions to set embedded data for each piped text (which seems redundant, since I already have entered the text into the L&M table for each field, which took forever), and some more complicated things like the piped text being drawn from previous text entry questi

Hello all,An ongoing challenge I face with clients is building beautiful and responsive email templates for survey invitations. I usually build templates using mjml but I sometimes face unexpected behavior when importing my emails source code in the Qualtrics platform email tool.For example, lately, we’ve been struggling with a bilingual english/arabic template.I understand this might not be entirely Qualtrics-related, but being able to produce nice emails is often very important for the platform users.So if anyone has tips on tools that work well with Qualtrics, or that make that task easier, feel free to share! :) 

I’m looking for ways to capture student id better. 1) Can we scrape their user id from their device, assuming they’ve logged in to email?2) Can we store a list of all student id’s/names so they can pick from a list? thank you.

Hey,my survey suddenly end in the middle, instead continue to the next blocks.I try to test it myself and it seems ok, but yet when other people get in the survey, it doesn’t seem to continue.nothing has changed in the logic or anything.please help me fix it 🙏🏻

We can’t distribute this survey via email, we must post a link. How can I restrict access so that only members of my organization can take the survey? Thank you in advance for your advice!

I am receiving an error message in TextIQ after the data upload is complete:  “There was a problem loading the data for this widget. Please try again later. If the problem persists, please contact Qualtrics Support.” What’s causing this error and how can it be resolved. Tech support has not been helpful up to this point in resolving the issue. Thanks.KT

Hi,I have a question where I'm piping in today's date strictly for the name of the weekday (i.e. "Tuesday"). Using the traditional, "${date://CurrentDate/DM}" gives me "Tuesday, September 21" but I only want it to say "Tuesday" and changing the DM to E doesn't work. Can someone help me?

Hi all- please point me to the right helpfile if this is covered and I just didn't find it.I'm in the midst of converting a number of surveys and assessments to Qualtrics. There are some edits that I'm having to make on each graph in each custom results or report, and I'm wondering if there is a way to access deeper default settings to minimize the conversion work. Examples:We do lots of assessments where we look at the number of responses per multiple choice option, comparing across questions.* Being able to set the Y-axis maximum to be the same for all multiple choice questions within the report. * The default for response count graphs appears to be single-color; I then have to go back in a report and on each question manually change the colors to shades of Red-Yellow-Green (Strongly disagree to Strongly Agree) on each question.* although I've defaulted to zero decimal places, the Y axis sometimes still shows .5 marks, so I've now defaulted to just hiding the Y axis in all graphs (hi

Hi folks,                 I have created an IT Survey where I have a lot of question with a scale of Very Dissatisfied to Very Satisfied and I Would like to represent the percentage in three categories negative, neutral and very satisfied… This is the standard breakdown bar.This is how I would like to see the breakdown bar but with the sum of both percentages.I hope you understand that I would like to do, and you can help me. Thank you in advance!

I have a loop and merge block with 2 questions. The loop list is based on programs (max of 8) the respondent is a member of. I need to set it up only to show a max of 4 loops. I also need to make sure that "Program A" is always included in the programs to be displayed. Is this possible?

I was wondering if anyone has experienced changes in the loading speed of survey pages depending on certain choices and additions. In particular the loading of a new page, but also something like display logic. Which of these, if any, do you find slow down the survey?Heavy use of Javascript on questions Heavy use of CSS in Look&Feel Scripts in the header and footer Number of questions in the survey Number of questions in the page Branching elements in the SurveyFlow Amount of Embedded Data fiels in the SurveyFlow Specific Question Types 

I am working on a survey to have participants rate words on three different scales. The bank of word stimuli has several thousand words. We need participants to get a random selection of the words and rate that selection on three different scales. Right now, we have the rating scales built into different blocks. Is there a way to ensure that the words selected for rating block 1 are the same for rating blocks 2 and 3? Also, is there a way to create a stimulus bank that each block pulls from, rather than having to write them all out for each block? Is there a better way to set up the survey logic than how we are approaching it?Thank you for the input!

I have a problem with the validation on this question. At the moment answers are required to the first 5 sub-questions and to ‘Other’ sub-question IF the respondent types something in the box. However, an answer is NOT required for the sub question: "Multimedia stories that use a combination of the above", but I need it to be. What am I doing wrong?! This is the current validation logic is attached. 

For the text IQ feature, earlier the comments showed the date as well however after the update in Qualtrics this is no longer showing. can we enable this from some settings.??  

I have created a survey which has some logic built in such : show block , branch if and also at a question level, i have some display logic questions built in.  But when I am trying to test these in the preview mode, none of them are showing up. Is there a way to test all of these other than the preview mode ?

Use case:Q1 Do you have any of the following health problems? Yes, NoQ2 You selected 'Yes' for the following health problem(s). Please indicate to what extent they affected your health in the last six months. Not at all, Mild, Moderate, SevereQuestion:Is there a way to prevent the display of a Q2 (which uses the carry-forward statements) if the condition 'Selected Statements for Scale Point: Yes' in Q1 is not met, meaning if the respondent chose 'No' for all options or doesn’t respond to Q1?Problem:Currently, in Qualtrics, Q2 is still shown without any carry-forward statements if the respondent chose 'No' for all options or doesn’t respond to Q1 

Our organization does lots of multi-mode surveys (e.g. email and SMS outreach) but Qualtrics forces you to create a new link for each distribution, even if it’s the same respondent for the same survey. To avoid duplicates, we’ve been using a tedious but effective process of sending email distributions, then turning the individual survey links into shortened codes and re-uploading to pipe them into SMS messages. This has the added benefit of vastly reducing the survey link character length, which the FedRAMP platform we are required to use will not do otherwise. As of today, the change in the SMS distribution interface now forces you to insert a Survey URL through Qualtrics, which means that we can no longer send the same link by email and SMS. I have been advised by Qualtrics support that there is no way to fix this issue or revert to the old interface. Has anyone else experienced this or has any kind of workaround for this new loss of functionality?

Hi all- New to useing regex here and have read through quite a few of the forums on regex, however the use cases I’m seeing people use are only getting me about halfway to the validation I’m trying to add. I am trying to add validation so that the text needs to alwasy start with “ClassID” and end in a date format with no “/” or spaces, ie “ClassID083123”. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hello community,I’m trying to add new embedded data to a survey that already has 8,000+ responses. Both the field and the values are new to the survey, so I had to duplicate the current survey. Below are the steps I’ve takenI duplicated the survey I want to add the data to In the new survey, I created the new embedded data in ‘survey flow’ I exported the original survey in csv format I added the new embedded data column to the spreadsheet and saved it as csv. Imported the edited spreadsheet as csv into the new surveyHowever, the import is not mapping the questions. I’ve tried with tsv with the same result. A curious fact is that the mapping works properly when I import the spreadsheet with no edits, which makes me think something is wrong when saving the spreadsheet. Any ideas?  Thanks!Cristian

My supervisor and I are contemplating removing the QR code on recruitment material but we don’t know if that may have the opposite effect.

The QR code for my survey was created in preview mode. I have since updated the survey and published it, but the QR code takes me to the pre-published version of the survey. How do I get the QR code to update to the published survey? Thanks.

  I have 6 options in Question Q8. Based on the following conditions, I want to configure the survey: ・Create a hidden variable: A hidden variable is used to categorize participants based on their response in Question Q8.・The variable is called 'MAIN OPTION'. This variable should store the option chosen by participants in Question Q8.・If a participant answers "No" to Question Q2, I want the 'MAIN OPTION' variable to be set to "Blue". Should I set quota or embedded data? I would appreciate if anyone can help with this. 

I have a long questionnaire (survey-1) and want to receive a response summary as pdf after each participant. However, I don’t want the whole questionnaire and embedded data on this file. To solve that, I created a second survey (survey-2) which consists of the questions that I am interested in seeing. The idea is that the participant will fill out survey-1, when they submit it, survey-2 (a shorter version of survey-1) pipes the answers from survey-1 and gets submitted automatically, sending me the response summary. How can I achieve this? Thank you. 

Hi everyone. I am looking to create some calculated variables in the Embedded Data section of the survey flow so that they appear alongside LoginID and other embedded variables. I am referencing the Math Operations documentation (https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/piped-text/math-operations/) so am enclosing the calculation with $e{} and removed the ${} around each embedded question.  The questions I am using are multiple choice and I set what the numerical value of each choice is on the Scoring settings page.Here’s an example of what one of the calculations looks like: However, when I’m looking at the results, this is what the embedded section looks like: It looks like it isn’t pulling the actual numbers. Any suggestions on how to fix this so it is doing the calculation is appreciated.
