Happy Friday, Community! Whether you are wrapping up a big project or just clearing out the week’s tabs, we’ve got your recap ready from this week.

 

Before the weekend hits, let's celebrate members who leveled up this week:

  • @matt.fowles, @joel bautista  for reaching Level 1!
  • @zzh for reaching Level 2!

@zzh, ​@matt.fowles, ​@joel bautista since you’re just getting started, what’s the one 'hidden gem' or tip you’ve stumbled across in the community that you didn't know existed last week?

 

Shoutout to @pamelalbeck for showing off the official community pen! Want to get your hands on one? Keep engaging to earn those points.

 

 

 

The Multi-Select Challenge: Members are discussing how to implement Select2 or Selectize for better dropdown experiences.

Quality Control: How do you flag vague or ambiguous open-text responses automatically? 

Visual Tweaks: A great thread on adding vertical lines to matrix questions, even when headers are repeated.

 

Academic Design: Looking for a student-to-supervisor portfolio workflow? Advice is being shared here.

Channel Distribution: How to separate your trigger counts for Email vs. WhatsApp on a single dashboard.

Multi-Channel Metrics: Ever needed to report on how many survey links were actually sent via Email vs. WhatsApp, rather than just how many people responded? ​@zzh shared a great tip on using the XM Directory Respondent Funnel as a dashboard data source to track those high-level distribution statistics automatically.

 

If you are using the New Survey Taking Experience, you might have noticed setEmbeddedData() behaving differently with iframes.

The Fix: Use Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setJSEmbeddedData() instead. It’s a small change that saves hours of debugging!
