I’m working on my first project in Qualtrics and need some help programming a setup where:
I have 24 unique jokes that need to be displayed randomly. Im not sure how these need to be attached or stored in the project.
The jokes are to be told by 8 different cartoon avatars (graphics) and each will be rated via a sliding scale (1-100)
Each avatar will “tell” a set of 3 jokes, displayed in a two cell table : the avatar graphic in the left cell and the joke text in the right cell.
All 24 jokes must be used, at random and none can repeat.
I’m not sure if I should use a randomizer or a piping function to achieve this setup, or if there’s a better way to handle it. I’d love advice on the best approach and any specific steps or code I might need to implement this. Please remember I am very new at this so layman’s terms would be much appreciated. :)
Thanks in advance!

That sounds like a fun project! Here’s how you can set it up in Qualtrics in a simple way:
1. Store Your Jokes & Avatars
You’ll need two embedded data fields: one for jokes and one for avatar images.
2. Use a Randomizer to Assign Jokes
In your Survey Flow, add a Randomizer.
Inside the Randomizer, create 24 Embedded Data fields, each holding one joke (e.g., Joke1, Joke2, etc.).
Set the Randomizer to Present All so each joke is used exactly once.
3. Assign Jokes to Avatars
Add another Randomizer with 8 Embedded Data fields (one for each avatar).
Store the avatar image URLs or names in Embedded Data fields (e.g., Avatar1, Avatar2, etc.).
Now, in your survey questions, use Piped Text to pull in jokes and avatars dynamically.
4. Create the Question Format
Use a Matrix Table (2 columns, 3 rows):
Left column: Display the avatar image.
Right column: Display the joke text.
Each matrix should be followed by a Sliding Scale question (1-100) for rating.
5. Ensure Jokes Don’t Repeat
By placing jokes inside a Randomizer that presents all items exactly once, you ensure all jokes get used without duplication.
