Updated JavaScript for New Survey Taking Experience

Hello! I like to mask phone numbers in my surveys. I have successfully used the JS below to do that. In the new Survey Taking Experience, the JS no longer works. The published info on the new format does acknowledge that JS may need to be updated. Thing is… I don’t know JS and have no idea how to update it for it to work.Can anyone help?Here’s the code:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){    /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/});Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){    jQuery(".InputText").on("cut copy paste",function(e) {e.preventDefault();});jQuery(".InputText").on('keypress',function(){if(event.which != 9 && isNaN(String.fromCharCode(event.which))){event.preventDefault(); //stop character from entering input}var s = this.value.replace(/-/g,'');if(s.length==10){event.preventDefault();}if(s.length!=0){if(s.length>=3 && s.length<=4){var s1 = s.slice(0,3);var s2 =s.slice(3,s.length);this.value=s1+"-"+s2;}if(s.length>=6){var

Hi All, I’m testing out the newish workflow task for exporting response data to excel  I’ve not found any support page for this yet so maybe it is documented but never the less… I have discovered that there are certain fields you can’t include or at least don’t appear in the drop down list yet when you do a manual export in the D&A section they do appear.  This includes: Recorded DateNPS_GROUPany derived fieldsTextiQ fields Is there a way round this? When I export manually I can see that the above fields have the following extra info: =Recorded Date: Recorded DateRecordedDate{"ImportId":"recordedDate","timeZone":"Europe/London"}  =NPS:Q01_NPS_GROUPNPS Question - Group{"ImportId":"QID3_NPS_GROUP"} =An example of a derived field:Q17_new B32 All meals CSATQ17_new B32 All meals CSAT{"ImportId":"Q17_ne_DERIVEDcbi44xe"} =An example of a textiq Topic (Textiq from within the survey)Q04c_R - TopicsQ04c_R - Topics{"ImportId":"QID9_TEXT_4fa5eba4135d43d890b5e933Topics"} I have tried a number o

Embedded data assignment not working in JavaScript

Hi,I have a survey where I input the start and end date of my class(from the contact list). On the first question of the survey, using JavaScript, I calculate the number of days it has been since the class started and the number of days left till graduation using those dates. I assign these values to the embedded data fields “Days Since Cohort Start” and “Days Till Graduation”. Based on these values, the survey shows/doesn’t show certain questions. The embedded data fields are defined in the survey flow before the question with the Javascript.  The assignment of the values to the embedded data fields is not working. The reason I am assuming this is that - I have a console.log function in the javascript and so I am able to see that the script is running and the calculations are happening correctly When I manually set the “Days Till Graduation” the rest of the survey flow & the survey run correctlyAnother confounding factor is that I have the same JavaScript code on another survey an

Help setting embedded data for multiple targets on a creative

I am trying to Set Embedded Data for Multiple Targets on a creative with JavaScript.  I am familiar with setting embedding data into intercepts/surveys by using the simple Embedded Data features on the intercept action sets, to pull in cookie values etc but I have zero understanding of javascript!Below is a screenshot of the relevant part of my creative.  I have created targets over each of these 3 answers, but would like to set a different embedded data value for each, so I can tell which answer they gave when they arrive at the surveyI have found these directions here, but I’m unsure how to apply them to the creative.  Where do I put the javascript?  And then what do I need to do to pull it to my intercept/survey? Thanks in advance for your help!

Convert system captured End date to dd/MM/yyyy and drop time stamp

Hi, Would there be a piece of custom JS that would convert the system generated Survey End Date captured from a dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss to just dd/MM/yyyy. For 99% of onward analysis outside of the Qualtrics platform where would look at results by date, we usually end up removing the hh:mm:ss element of end date within Excel to strip it out to a straight date format.  Thanks in advance

Prevent survey progression via JavaScript

In my survey I have a constant sum matrix table with 2 columns and the total for the 2 columns must equal the value given for a previous question, e.g.: question_0: how many items did you buy? ; answer_0 = 10question_1:  for you for your friend apples a b oranges c d total e f I only want to allow the survey to progress when e + f = 10. I think the default sum validation can only look at e and f individually and check if these equal 10? I have added some JavaScript inside the addOnPageSubmit method and I can return a browser alert when the totals don’t match, but the survey still progresses to the next page when the alert is dismissed. Is there anything I am doing wrong, or missing? Thanks! Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() { // Function to validate the totals function validateTotal() { // Retrieve the embedded data field value const s17_01 = parseFloat('${e://Field/s17_01}'); // Retrieve the values entered by the responden

Survey Invite Email HTML Templates

Hi All, I’m after some advice.  The HTML email templates we use are and have been static in their code and design since their development back in 2018.  Since then our digital studio department have been disbanded and so there is no longer any support and guidance.  We’re not just talking the visual look and feel but the behind the scenes conditional styling that I have since discovered is in the template and until now not realised its importance to ensure the design looks ok across many email clients and devices. I’d be interested  to know what everyone else does.  How you manage your templates to ensure they remain in good working order and what software you use.  I’m a novice when it comes to HTML and CSS so I’m looking for something to deliver all this behind the scenes code with a polished design. Currently I’m using word, exporting the design to html then using a combination of free online html editors but this does not obviously cover off any conditional styling.  Currently I’m

What is possible with the API for managing sharing/survey collaboration?

I'm new-ish to using the Qualtrics API, and will be using it more in the near future as I take the helm on working with a set (~130) of existing surveys from a longitudinal research project at a university. One task I will need to do relates to managing collaborators on an existing pool of surveys, and I'm trying to figure out whether I can use the API to do everything in a clean and reliable way. Here's the things I would like to be able to do right now: 1. Get information about who is shared on any given survey (I will have ownership-level control of any survey) 2. Get information about the permission levels associated with anyone shared on a particuar survey 3. Fix any given survey to a pre-specified list of collaborators who each have a pre-defined permission level, irrespective of the prior list of collaborators and their permissions It does seem like the "Share Survey" API call (https://api.qualtrics.com/reference#share-survey) provides much of the functionality to do #3.

Javascript: How to Subtract Up to 3 Points on Item for Minimum Value of "0"?

Good Morning, You Lovely People! I have a Lifecycle survey where I want to have an overall “score” (raw number - not a %) calculated based on the items selected in the survey.The maximum/”perfect” score is 30 There are 8 questions - each with different values (3 answer options or 5 answer options) 7 of the questions are straightforward (A = 5, B = 4, etc.) However: On one of the questions - there are 17 possible answers I want to have the system *subtract* a point for each item selected - subtracting up to 3 points for a minimum value of “0” So: Max Score for the question is 3 Minimum score is 0 If 1 item is selected: Subtract 1 point If 3 items selected: Subtract 3 points If 4 or more items selected: Subtract 3 points I added a custom javascript (mentioned below) and included it as an embedded data field in the flow before the questions.Unfortunately - it’s not working the way I want it to.So now - I’m wondering if such a thing is possible *or* if I’d need to think of a dif

Allowing respondents to skip constant sum questions despite 'Must Total' validation

Hi, At my organization, we ask a lot of constant sum questions, but we also want to let our respondents skip them when they don't have the relevant data. As of now, it seems impossible to allow respondents to skip questions when 'Must Total' is selected. I think it would be ideal if the 'Must Total' validation was "activated" AFTER respondents enter ANY data into one of the constant sum boxes. So, in effect, if respondents don't enter any data, they can skip it without triggering the validation rules. The folks over at Product Ideas suggested I post the question here. Does anyone have the custom code to make this work? Thank you in advance - I'm a newbie with javascript!Also, I have added this request/idea to the Product Ideas page, and I've asked if they can allow the validation to be changed to 'Request Response' at a minimum or, ideally, if they can "activate" the validation as described above.If you think this should become a standard feature, please upvote it here: https://communi

Survey won't open twice when using the API

I am attempting to launch a survey via a button, via JS, on my website. When I use the JS function QSI.API.load() or QSI.API.run(), with the onclick, it works fine the first time but will not open the survey a second time until the page is refreshed. Is there a better API method or something I need to add to the button or survey to get it to perform the expected behavior? Thanks!

Modifying Calendar & Date Questions from the Qualtrics Library

Hello! In one of the surveys that I am developing, I am interested in importing/using one of the questions from the Qualtrics Library (Calendar & Date Questions). I am specifically interested in the Calendar & Date Question that is in the SIDE-BY-SIDE format. There are two things I want to change about this question: (1) I want to reword the default "Please select:" statement to "Start Date:" (2) I want to add a second statement for "End Date:" (3) I want to change the year range from 1900-2049 to 2015-2030 for the dropdown menu options for both of the statements. At the end of the day, I am hoping to end up with a Side-By-Side question with a "Start Date:" statement and an "End Date:" statement with the response options for the Year dropdown menu to be limited to 2015-2030. I am having difficulties with this. I am able to easily reword the default "Please select:" statement to "Start Date:" I added a second statement for "End Date:" Where I run into trouble is that when I go into

How to clear selected options when user uses back button

Hello,I'm looking to clear selected options when the respondent clicks the 'back' button.It seems that the choices are 'labels' on Qualtrics back end.I realize that when the option is selected, there is a new 'q-checked' class that is added. Hence I've been looking for ways to remove that class following the various suggestions here (html - Remove CSS class from element with JavaScript (no jQuery) - Stack Overflow), but it doesn't seem to work.

Contact Search API in R

Hi all,Referencing api.qualtrics.com/c79e78a949572-search-directory-contacts, I had ChatGPT help me create a script to search my Directory for emails that equal “[email protected]”. I already know that there are over 12,000 of these.Using the black windows on the page above, I am able to (a) change the pageSize and return fewer records (and different skipTokens) and (b) use the new skipToken to retrieve different records.In my code, if I put the pageSize in the url I can modify the pageSize and return fewer records. If I put the pageSize into the body of the request nothing happens, I always get 100 records. For skipToken, I can never get it to work - I always get the same 100 records and the same skipToken returned.

Save Partial Responses in a Single-Page Website Intercept Survey without clicking next button

We are working on a website intercept survey (a pop-up on our website) with multiple questions shown on a single page (e.g., 3-5 questions, no page breaks). Users may answer one or more questions and then close the pop-up without clicking the "Next" or "Submit Feedback" button.Issue: Currently, if a user interacts with just one question and closes the survey (e.g., without submitting or navigating), their responses are not saved. This results in losing valuable user data, even though they engaged with the survey.Requirement: I need a way to auto-save responses as soon as users interact with any question, ensuring partial responses are captured even if the user does not click "Submit" or navigate to next page.Questions: Is it possible, either through default settings or configurations, to automatically save responses in such cases? For example, can Qualtrics save responses immediately when a user interacts with a question (e.g., selects a dropdown, types in a text box, or clicks a radio
