Survey Platform (Before March 2021)

We have a department that has started using Qualtrics for their student evaluations. Because they've just started and were doing it manually, they did a survey for each course. The survey is the same, but with a different course name. Is there a way to create a report template that can be applied to surveys with the same questions? He has 27 surveys (again, all the same questions) and it sure would save some time to be able to use a template to create the report as he needs to see it across the surveys.

I just updated the text in my email distribution. However, when I send myself the preview email, its still sending the wrong text. Any ideas as to why this may be the case?

I've set a default 'From Address' for all of our institution's surveys for all users. This default 'From Address' goes to an inbox that our department uses only for a shared team calendar, and the 'From Address' can be changed to whatever our users decide. Every once in a while, we have issues with surveys not being sent, and after digging into it, I'm typically advised to get an IP address range whitelisted. So, after an email to our IT staff, it's done and problem solved, but does anyone have any insight as to why this step is needed, and better yet, is there a prescribed schedule to have this done? Once a year? Every other Month? Should I ask for my IT team to check on this prior to every large survey project? Is the 'From Address' and the IP address range connected - does the change in 'From Address' trigger the need for the IP address range to be whitelisted?

I am working on a report now which includes questions employing the Hot Spot question type and am stymied on the best way to visually and intuitively display the data in the report. Unlike the Heat Map question, there is no integration of the graphic image into the output, and I am not sure what the best practices are for this question type reporting. What have you all done with the data generated from this question type to show the results in a report? Can someone please share an example of how they have presented this?

I'm building a side-by-side question with a drop-down list question on the left and open ended text on the right. I can't seem to get the option for setting up a display logic for the drop-down list items. In fact, I have trouble reliably getting options for the items in general - sometimes I can only get the Rich Content Editor choice, sometimes the Exclude From Analysis choice, but never the full menu one usually gets when selecting a response option. The instability coupled with the fact that item display logic can be applied to matrix drop-down lists hints at a bug - anyone know what's up? ! or !

Hi All, Does anyone have any experience with coding verbatim responses (what Qualtrics calls Topics in Text Analysis/TextiQ) and then exporting these topics. It seems to export all the topics for each individual respondent into one field (or one cell in Excel). To actually make analysis easier, what you really need is a separate column for each code (ideally with a 1 or 0 - but even just the text in separate columns would help). For example, if I have 3 Topics: Safety Technology Benefits Environmental Benefits If these are all coded for a response by one respondent, what you get is: Safety, Technology Benefits, Environmental Benefits in one cell in Excel. You can use the Text to Columns function in Excel, which will separate these into separate columns... but the problem is if you have another respondent whose response was coded to: Safety, Environmental Benefits Then you will have a column which has Safety for each respondent, but the next column will have Technology Benefit

Hello, I would love to get some ideas on how to use Qualtrics to build a survey where the respondents answers are scored in the background without the respondent knowing about it. Kind of like a personality test or a survey to group people in bands depending on how their cumulative score was at the the end of the survey. I want some questions to be scored and some question to be not scored. Many thanks

What are your best practices for numbering/labeling questions in your surveys? How do you differentiate between rows and columns in your labeling? Is your system consistent across all question types?

Is there a way to trigger a notification within Quotas? For instance, I want an email sent notifying the client when 150 people register at each location, but still leave the survey open. I'm not familiar with Web Services, and not sure this would solve the issue.

Has anyone had successful /creative ways of getting people to take a survey online when you don't initiate contact via the web? We have many customers that we'd like to survey, but we only have physical addresses for them. Any tips on getting them to take the step to go online to take the survey without sending a ton of money? What kind of response rate is typical?

What are your best practices for fielding multi-market/multi-language surveys in Qualtrics? When you have different quota limits and localization of some questions for each country, do you find it easier to program the countries as separate links? Or keep them all in the same link and make adjustments there?

Hey All - I know zero filling (0's showing up in data when they should be missing data, as well as 0's not showing up when they should be) is an issue that Qualtrics is actively working on solving. In the meantime, do you have best practices/tips/tricks for adjusting the data on the back end?

Anyone know of a way to disable the 'Automatic Choices' from showing up by default when I create a question?

I have a few different custom end of survey messages that I'd like to be able to edit or at least remove, but I can't seem to find a place to do so. What ultimately happens is that I may create a message, test the survey, find that I want to tweak the language, but then realize that I can't edit the message. I ultimately have to then have various drafts listed under messages. Does anyone know how to remove or edit it?

I'm passing this along since I thought it might be helpful, but please know this is not my work! :) I am not a coder. This was developed by one of our super-heavy duty pro Qualtrics users here on campus and he's really good about keeping me in the loop on tricky things he solves. This is to send multiple choice question text into the text box of another question. I'm just gonna C&P his text here: > It took me a day of work to figure this out, but I was able to better understand the object model Qualtrics uses for its questions so that I can get the text of a multiple choice question and send it to the text box of another question. I am worried I might loose it so I am pasting it below. > > The really hard part was finding where information is kept in their object model and getting to it. I needed to pass something called “element” to a function in order to get to the parts. It was a little easier if I used this.questionclick() in the Qualtrics javascript API, but that is f

Well this was a pleasant surprise when I logged in today. Looks like Qualtrics has rolled out a template feature so you don't have to go digging through the libraries. !

After digging around some more in the platform, I stumbled upon the gap analysis question type. Have you used it before? If so, what is your preference of using this vs. a grid with follow-up question using conditional logic? And how does the data compare on the back end?

When using the bookmark feature in Preview, if you place a bookmark a few questions into your survey and questions later on depend on answers from those questions, when you use the bookmark feature, will it carry those selections through? Or does it not record and you see all answer options? E.g. If gender is one of my first questions and I place a bookmark after gender, if I were to click my bookmark, but have a question later on that shows certain rows just to males, would I see just the male rows or all rows present in that question?

I know the answer is probably no, but I thought I would throw it out there anyway. When you have a question type that is not supported in scoring, is there a way that you can get around it by plugging answers from the non-supported question type into embedded data? I'm not seeing anything in the Scoring Options, but maybe someone knows something I don't.

Has anyone had any experience doing work in Canada that can shed some light on the best way to ask race / sex / ethnicity? We are getting ready to do some new research, and are concerned that the Qualtrics Universal standards may not be right for Canada and some other countries.

Is there a way to relabel quotas in the public quota dashboard? With the newer format, it's pulling from the question/row text or image location when used to build, and is a bit difficult to decipher when trying to quickly check in on quotas.

Has anyone experienced their contact list files corrupting upon/during upload? Thoughts as to why it may have happened?

Why is my last action set never being evaluated, even though the condition is met?

What is the significance of the _group and _rank vars for Pick, Group and Rank questions? Is the _group the bucket you place the row items into and the _rank where they fall within that bucket? How do you all interpret these vars when reporting?

Has anyone had issues getting enough simulated data through a survey when you have more difficult screening criteria? What are your solves for properly vetting your link with simulated data?
