Exporting Embedded Data | XM Community
Skip to main content

I created a survey for people to evaluate small groups of people under various headings, as in an interview situation This was to replace a paper based system we had previously. If a candidate exhibits a particular trait, they get a tick in the box.
For assessor ease of use, I passed in embedded data in a link for each of the candidates they were assessing. So they would get a partially populated survey (names of candidates, room number, date etc).
I created the various questions as a matrix type. This may not have been the best option, but it was the only way I could make it work.

Survey 1.pngSurvey 2.pngThe issue I have now is in using the data. If the first candidate collaborated with others to accomplish goals, then in the answer field, it says ${e://Field/StudentName}. I would like the export (or report) to contain the data passed to it, rather than the field name. Is that possible?

Alternatively, for the next time I do this, is there a better question type that I could use to record something like the above, given that we give the students individual reports detailing their performance?

Thanks

You passed the embedded data in the URL- did you add the embedded data category into the survey flow?
