Setting up a 2AFC task with images using the loop & merge function

Hi, I am a total Qualtrics newbie and was hoping someone could help me out of my despair. I am trying to build a 2AFC task in which images are randomly presented to the participant. Before each image is shown, the participants should see a fixation cross for 250ms, followed by one of the randomised images that is presented for 300ms. Only after one image has been presented does the participant get the see the question for 3sec. I thought I might use the loop & merge function, but I am running into multiple issues:When I insert the image HTMLs/URLs in field 1 (only the images, so no fixation cross yet), I actually cannot see any images when I preview the block. I've tried several things, such as putting the piped field1 in a HTML img tag () in the HTML text view, but also in the normal text view. Or using either URLs or HTMLs in field 1 of the loop & merge function. Nothing seems to work :(. I've attached an image of my current field 1. How to repeat a fixation cross before each randomi

Showing the same randomized condition again in a survey flow

Dear Qualtrics community :) I am conducting a survey when participants are randomly assigned to one of 12 different conditions.The study will be held in Stimuli - Emotional response - memory test - Stimuli - cognitive response - Stimuli - manipulation check this order,and I want to know how to re-show them the same photo to answer further questions. I used randomizer for the first exposure, but I can't figure out how to make sure the participants are shown with the same photo again in a survey flow.Are there other ways thanput the whole thing in a same block and create 12 blocks of survey - then randomizeUse the display option - show 1 if 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 is not displayed before (?) or 1 is displayed before?

Is there a better way to ask this question? Reporting is very difficult.

Hello! I am hoping the community minds here might have a solution to our issue. We have a standard question that we need to use in many evaluations for evaluating knowledge before and after education. The question itself LOOKS amazing and we get very high response rates on it because its so easy to fill out. HOWEVER - the problem is that when we go to do the reporting for these questions, we have to manually download the numbers for the before and after and then calculate the statistics, and then make a custom format to put them together in an executive-friendly manner. So all of this work is rather taxing on the reporting side, and I am trying to see if there is any way that I can improve the process. Do you guys have any thoughts? Changing the question type, an easier way to calculate the stats, an easier way to do the reporting - I'm all ears! :-)I have included a question and the reporting example below to make it easier to see what I'm talking about.Question Example:Output with ad

Carry forward selected choices from two questions into a third

Hello! In my survey, I have two multiple-choice multiple selection questions, followed by a third question where I want to be able to carry forward all selected choices both from question 1 and from question 2. For example:Among these players, where do you normally shop in physical retail stores? (20+ answers)Among these players, where do you normally shop online? (20+ answers)Among the places where you shop, how familiar are you with their offerings of product X? (Likert table where first column should have all selected choices from 1 and 2)Currently (as far as I know), I can only carry forward from one of the two questions. Is there a way of doing carrying forward from multiple questions into one?

Video stops after number of seconds only in cell phone display

Hi,I have a strange problem in my survey.I uploded 2 Videos (in diferent blocks), and when the participants enter the survey through the computer the videos work fine,but when the participants using a cell phone to answer the survey, the videos stop after 20 and 30 seconds and doesn't continue.

A Qualtrics Bug? Very odd Survey Flow: Started once => exited twice

If one respondent starts  a survey only once, it should exit only once (and not twice) . Correct?Suppose I have email trigger(s). An email trigger only clicks (i.e. triggers) on a survey exit. So, only one triggered email message should be sent out.Now, if I have two or more email triggers, only one triggered email message should still be sent out. Because the survey will still exit only once. When testing, I occasionally noticed the following very odd behavior: Another (second)  triggered email message is sent out 10-30 minutes after the first is sent out. Even though one respondent has started a survey only once.I believe that the composition of the survey flow should not matter, but I will provide some details, just to be specific. In my survey, I have two email triggers:1st email trigger is conditional on answer 'Yes' of Question 35.2d email trigger is conditional on answer 'No' of the same Question 35.After Question 35, the survey flow splits into two main branches and, afte

Suggested topics in text analysis

So I sometimes use the suggested topics tool in text analytics, mostly for when there is no pre-established library I can import. Sometimes they suggestions are good; sometimes, I just stare and wonder where the name came from. But that's okay, as we an rename them. But one thing I sometimes see is that two or more suggested topics have VERY similar keywords, and I'd like to combine them; not as a parent topic, but just a single topic. Is there anyway to just quickly combine two topics that way?

Embedded data and Loop&Merge and Randomisation: selected options on every loop

Hi all,I have been struggling with embedded data vs Merge&Loop and Randomisation. I hope you can help me :)The setup we have is like a maxdiff (we do not have it in license, so had to improvise):1 Question with 10 options:There is a randomiser set up for this question to randomly and equally present subset of 4 choices out of these 10:The question is on the loop & merge, to randomly present 7 loops:The goal for me is to have an embedded data that will record which option was selected as "Least", which option was selected as "Most" for each loop; and what is the total number each option has been presented ( we want to build a formula out of these three).Unfortunately this question type is not supported by Scoring, which makes my life somewhat difficult at the moment..Please help!

Ignore spaces in numerical validation

Hi all,I am looking for a solution that allows a question to pass a numerical validation condition if there is also a space in the question. For example, the following question:How many employees does your organisation have?If I write an answer such as 40, but with a space in front or after the number, the validation won't pass. Is there some way around this issue?Regards,Michael

Displaying tickbox dependent on previous selections and dropdown option to pipe data - multiple Qs

I've just asked another question here in relation to this question I'm building here (https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/15275/hiding-side-by-side-statements-pending-previous-statement-answer) although it's probably not as relevant to this question, though they obviously go together.So, in addition to having one table as shown in my previous question to the Qualtrics Community, this question from our paper-based survey is actually being built using multiple questions in Qualtrics.First, we ask participants to select the relevant days they travel in a previous question, as shown:Then, based on whichever they tick, tables for each of the days are displayed, sequentially, for the participant to complete. There are two for each day - a "to work" and a "from work" table, as shown.We'd like to build in an additional question to include a tickbox which asks something like "Is this journey the same as a previous journey you've made?" and, if "Yes" is selected, the participant is pr

Reporting received responses vs expected responses

Hello all,I am working on a survey with 150 multiple choice questions for a research project and I am trying to find a way to export the data so that it will tell me what the participant chose and what the expected answers for that question were. As an example let's say I have a multiple choice question with possible answers A, B, C, D, and E and I expect the participants to choose either A or B. If three participants each respectively choose answers A, C, and E I would like to be able to export the data in a way where I can see in the data that only the first participant chose an expected answer and the other two did not. Currently, I can only get qualtrics to output the received responses without any indication of whether it was one of the expected responses or not. The idea is similar to have qualtrics report if a test taker answered a question correctly or not, which I also have not been able to get to work. Thank you for your time and assistance.Virgil

How to export seen/unseen descriptive text items?

I have a survey set up with a couple of descriptive text items that display/don't display based on some logic and some quotas. I'd like to be able to export this information in the data export. Qualtrics support advised that I check the settings to recode seen but unanswered questions, but this isn't working for me, I think because these are descriptive text, so there is no possible input from the respondent.Any clever ideas on how to set this up differently so that it comes through in the export? I'm also planning to submit this as a product idea.

Calculation of submitted answers within the questionnaire

Hi there,I have the following problem within my survey structure:My survey participants have to type in a value in € (Text entry) - two questions later I want to give a further information, where I would like to automatically calculate the value, they have provided to me, multiplied by 0,8 (to get their inserted value minus 20% less).I know that there is a code, to query an inserted value: ${q://QID17/ChoiceTextEntryValue} - but I do not know how to correctly adapt the code to multiply the TextEntryValue by 0,8. First question: do I have to adapt the question type (I was using the Text entry option)? Second: how exactly do I have to adapt the code to get the multiple (value * 0,8)?I hope some of you can help! Thank you so much in advance!Best, Carol

20000 character size limit exceeded

Hi there, I have tried to add an 'information sheet' at the beginning of my survey, however the site wont let me save it as it 'exceeds 20000 characters', I tried shortening it to two text boxes but it wont even accept a sentence. The writing I'm adding is only 11,000 characters long so it should be accepted. I thought it may be formatting so I changed it all very simple, that didn't work, I thought it may be the hyperlinks but when i removed them it still wouldn't accept the text. I even tried the old turn it off and back on again!Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!Thank you 😊

Access Code

Hi all,I made a free account a while ago, but I recently discovered my school gives access codes to Qualtrics for survey design. My free account trial will expire in 7 days. How can I make sure I don't lose the data on my free account? Can I just give the access code after the expiration date and keep the free trial account to continue my work? Thanks in advance.

Creating hidden variables, setting quota counts and limits....

I have some questions about creating hidden variables, setting up quotas to ensure I don't collect more than I need, and also to ensure ratio of Group A, B is even when I randomly assign them to rate one of the product concepts. Let’s say there are two subgroups I want to create; I also want to set up a quota on each of those subgroup on the backend. Lastly, I want to test 4 product concepts, but will randomly assign 1 of the 4 to each individual. For example, Q1. How often do you visit Store X? -       Once a week (Group A)-       Twice a week (Group A)-       Three times a week (Group B)-       Four times a week (Group B)-       Five times a week (Group B)Part 1. Depending on what they choose, I want to put people into Group A or Group B. I want to create a hidden variable, Q2, with 1=Group A, 2=Group B. Part 2. I want to set a number limit on Group A (n=400), and Group B (n=400). Part 3. The last piece is… I want to randomly assign one of the four product concepts, so each person o

How to display the order of the randomizer to the recipient?

Dear there,I have 5 blocks randomly displayed to the recipient. When the recipient works on the 1st block shown to them, I want to display a message before they work on that block like 'This is the 1st block.' When the recipient works on the 2nd block shown to them, I want to display a message before they work on that block like 'This is the 2nd block.' Is the order of the randomizer recorded somewhere where I can access and save it as an embedded data so that I can display it to the recipient while they work on the survey?
