Alternate link in question | XM Community
Skip to main content
Dear all,



I am very new to Qualitrics and conducting a survey that investigates some aspects of a website. In total, every respondent needs to visit 5 different websites (out of a pool of 70 websites) and then answer the same matrix question for each one.



I'm a bit confused about how to make sure that every respondent receives 5 different links and that all 70 websites are somewhat evenly visited.



So far, I have created 5 different matrix question blocks, but I am unable to use the Randomizer properly. I have distributed the 70 websites to the 5 question blocks (so 14 website links each). In theory, I'd like the randomizer to choose 1 out of the 14. But practically I am not able to attribute one randomizer to each of the 5 questions.



Could somebody be so kind and help me out?



thanks!



best, Claudia
Hi @cmat95



What I understood, the requirement is to show 1 website (randomly) on each of the 5 matrix questions.



If I understood it correctly then you can utilize "choice randomization" 3rd option which is "present only X number of choices [Random subset].

The recommendation would be to select "evenly present elements".



Here is the documentation for this:

Hope this help!
thanks a lot for the quick solution!



the choice randomization worked perfectly. The only issue I'm still facing is the fact, that I cannot hide the radio button next to the link and that apparently the link does not open by clicking on it.



Any idea for the radio button?



For the link I have used the following variables in the Rich Content Editor:

Any guesses what might be wrong?
Just a guess, but you need to create/edit links in html mode. Otherwise, your html tags will get converted to html entities (e.g. `<`)
@cmat95



By using JavaScript / CSS you would be able to hide the radio button. Hope you are familiar with JavaScript / CSS...please let me know otherwise



Also, to make the link clickable please place your code under "source view"
