Text Graphics questions | XM Community
Skip to main content

I used to be able to download text/graphics data from Qualtrics. That has changed fairly recently and has added several hours of data cleaning work. Is there any way that it can be made possible to download those data again? This has really degraded Qualtrics’ usefulness in my lab.

are you referring to file upload question data or a open end question with text data?


I had used a randomizer to assign participants to one categorical experimental condition or another. Now that doesn’t show up when I export the data and I have to go back and fill it in by hand.


Did you uncheck the “Export viewing order data for randomized surveys” box when you exported your data?

See https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/data-and-analysis-module/data/download-data/export-options/#ExportOptionsDataTable


Yes, I did. Still nothing


Brandt,

I thought this was removed quite awhile ago (at least for the accounts I work with).

I’m not sure what type of randomizer you are using (survey flow, question, etc.), but a general purpose workaround would be to define an embedded data field for each text/graphic question and initialize them to 0 (zero) in the survey flow. For example:

__js_Q1 = 0

Then add JavaScript to each text/graphic question to set its embedded data field to 1. For example:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setJSEmbeddedData("Q1","1");
});

 


I’ll try it, if it doesn’t work I will have to find a different platform.

Hello ​@Brandt , thank you for sharing your feedback and apologies for the additional steps it added to your workflow. When you have a moment, could you please let me know if ​@TomG suggested solution was helpful? It would be invaluable to the XM Community, and I would be more than happy to explore alternative solutions if needed.


I might be doing it wrong, but it hasn’t helped. I will finish up what I need to do by hand.

The solution I provided would only work for responses going forward, not existing responses.
