Qualtrics Beginner Tutorial - 2023

In this tutorial, we will cover the basics of Qualtrics, including how to set up and organize a survey, create different types of questions, label questions and responses, and distribute the survey. We will also demonstrate how to use blocks to organize the survey and add requirements to ensure that participants answer certain questions. Additionally, we will show how to add demographic questions and how to use a text entry question to allow participants to type in their responses. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a better understanding of how to use Qualtrics to create and distribute surveys.

Well Done, Thanks For Sharing!

Thanks for the comment Julian. Let me know if there are any topics you would like me to cover.

This was so helpful!

Thanks Janet, let me know if you want to see any other topics

[@adeli583]

Thanks for the great explanation. I want to ask you how to create a sub-question when a particular choice is chosen. for example, if you have an age question with multiple choice answers, when the participant selects a choice of 10-15, the survey will open sub-question. While if another choice is chosen, the survey will open another different sub-question. How can I do that?? Thanks.

Thanks for this! would you be able to create advanced tutorials on topics like distribution/workflow/close-loop items? :)

[@DevanBernardino]

Hi Arden, I have a couple videos on closed-loop. Out of curiosity, what projects are you working on so I can hopefully tailor the content?

[@ardenzhuo9351]

@@DevanBernardino for now as im not familiar with it im looking to explore what usecase there might be but likely perhaps ticket management/tracking to see escalation rate/evaluate performance of CS reps etc

Firstly, great video, I will be going through all related videos, question: could one use Qualtrics to simulate an emailing system where a user receives various emails and identifies which one is a malicious email and which is not? For research purposes

[@petercsizmadia9599]

I think that in a numeric data field (“Age” in your example), the minimum and maximum options don’t refer to the number of characters, but to the minimum and maximum numeric values allowed. Please confirm.

[@DevanBernardino]

Hi Peter,
I just double-checked, and you are absolutely right. It refers to setting the range of numeric values allowed.
Thanks for pointing that out!

I think this is the exact same mistake that Dare McNamara made in their well-recieved 2017 Qualtrics Beginners Tutorial. Two bits of feedback, 1. If you used that video as a model, McNamara deserves a mention; 2. If you update this video to fix the validation error, please consider using a more appropriate question for your text-entry example. "Describe a time...," for instance, with a character max more like 500. That could expose another common error people make -- assuming the min and max si *words* not *characters.*@@DevanBernardino

Hi Devan, I am an honours student and have been racking my brains was wondering if you can help me ?
I want to create sort of an exam type questions (mix of multiple choice and text entry) but I want to give real time feedback when the participants answer questions correct and incorrect) and want to have a different time limit for each question ?

[@DevanBernardino]

Hi Masoud,
If you click on "Add question", there is a timing question that can display a countdown timer and also automatically advance the question.
For the exam-type question, you can create a display logic to show another block after the respondent selects a right or wrong answer with an explanation. This really depends on how you want to set up the survey.
I hope this helps.

Do I have to hit the "publish" button before I distribute my survey?

[@DevanBernardino]

When you click the publish button, what it does is update the live survey with all the recent changes. So you don't technically need to hit the publish button if you haven't made any changes, but if you have made any changes and want the most up-to-date survey, you should publish

[@Leonvb7]

Hi Devan! On 0:23 you can see a survey has 162 responces, is there a possibility to see the whole chart of the amount of responces over time? It would help me a lot! Thanks

[@DevanBernardino]

Do you have access to dashboards? You can pin a dashboard widget to the homepage, which will give you a longer view of responses over time

[@Leonvb7]

@@DevanBernardino I dont know if i have acces to dashboards, how do i find out?

[@Leonvb7]

I Dont think so, i see the responces from 5/5 to 11/5, but no all responces before that timeframe, when i click on the cart, it just directs me to the results instead of the whole chart.

[@DevanBernardino]

@@Leonvb7 The only action I suggest is to navigate to the 'Results Tab'. Once there, click on the top right where it says 'Edit Dashboard'. Then, click on 'Add Widget' at the bottom and create a 'Line Chart'. Set the metric to 'Count' and the 'X-Axis' to the recorded date. This way, you can view the entire widget within the project.

[@Leonvb7]

@@DevanBernardino Thanks! I had to do some sort of update first to get the dashboards needed.

[@henryanona1640]

how do you end the survey?
