Is it possible to link text in one question/block to another? | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi
I am developing a SOP for my organisation's use of Qualtrics in Qualtrics to show how fabulous and versatile it is and need to link text in one block to content in another that is not on the same page.
E.g., in my send section (block 20) I want to link back to content earlier in my getting started section about the internal approval process (block 5).
Is it possible to link from one block? Text anchors initially seemed like a good option; however, they apparently only work on the same page which my content is not.
My SOP survey has a table of contents. Is telling people to manually go back to the table of contents and navigate to the relevant block/section themselves my only option? Anyone have a work around?
Thanks
Gill

If your 'getting started section' is question text, you can pipe the question text from block 5 into block 20.

Hi TomG
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately, piped text isn't going to work, as I want to link to the original content in another block rather than repeat it, similar to linking one web page to content on another or content in one section of a Word document to another.
I realise that I am trying to use Qualtrics to do something it isn't really designed for (basically using it like a web content management system) but was hoping someone might have a sneaky work-around.
Looking like my current solution, to tell them to click 'return to table of contents' and manually navigate to supporting material in other blocks themselves, might be the best and only solution.

You could use a tool like FancyBox and pipe the previous question text into that. The link would open a lightbox with the content of the piped question.

Thanks TomG
