Welcome to the debut issue of the Qualtrics XM Community Newsletter! We’re excited to launch this publication dedicated to keeping our members updated on what’s new in the community.

Popular Discussions
Looking to improve your surveys with some community-reviewed solutions? We’ve compiled some of this quarter’s hottest discussions below.

• CX Best Practices | Effective Customer Experience (CX) programs require elegant solutions. Check out @Kate's suggestions about best practices for combining customer satisfaction surveys and product reviews in a single comprehensive survey.


• Keyboard Input Functionality | Have you ever wanted your respondents to be able to take your survey using just their keyboard (for example, pressing Y for “Yes” or “N” for “No”)? This functionality is possible using custom code developed by @TomG.


• Hover-Over Tooltips | Sometimes, you may want to give your respondents additional information about an answer choice. Luckily, @Rich_Boits_Walker has you covered with hover-over tooltips.

Do you find these discussions helpful? Head over to our recent discussions to join the conversation and share your ideas with other community members. Who knows, maybe one of your posts will be highlighted in our next newsletter!
