Separate Data Collection | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi, 

I will need three lots of data being collected separately from one another - consent, ID code and email and demographic data. This is due to the identifiable information needing to be separate from all over data.

I understand I can make three different ‘projects’ and link them together. But I wondered if there was a simpler way of collecting these three sets of data separately within the one project?

Hey @NatalieSoftley, 

as far as I know, Qualtrics does not offer other data storages than the projects itself. If you are familiar with APIs, you could try to have the following setup:

  • Create one common survey that collects all the data
  • Create three empty separated survey projects for each of the data lots
  • Set up a workflow in the common survey which is triggered for each new response
    1. It should have one API call for each property to save it within a new response of the corresponding separated survey. Within the values object of the request body, you can pass custom metadata. You could use the “Create a New Response” API.
    2. To delete the combined response of the common survey, you could use the “Delete a Survey Response” API. ​​​

This setup would be customer-friendly as they only need to take one survey, and on the other side you would achieve your result of separated data.
