Question
Using multi-value text set for embedded data
Hi
We want to receive additional transaction data from our source system and store it as embedded data. The transaction data from the source system will be presented as multiple 'operation' lines, each having a number of separate fields, from a job card e.g. there might be 6 operation lines, each line will have a line number, operation code, operation description, operation type and a couple of yes/no flags. It looks like the 'multi-value' text set is the best variable type to use. My question is, how would the source system pass information from a multitude of fields, to a single embedded data variable in the API call?
Thanks!
My initial gut reaction is to store it in json format or an array in the embedded data field, but it might be super hard to read just by human eyes (if that's how you're planning on using it). If it's something you need to use from within the survey, you could use javascript to parse out the json/array.
Not sure if that helps! How are you planning on using the field once it is in Qualtrics?
