Reporting Beta

This does not replace the existing reporting system; it is simply a more powerful option to build reports in Qualtrics. The new reporting section will allow you to:

• Create reports based on multiple surveys
• Completely customize the look of your reports
• Display longitudinal studies
• And much more!

Survey Building Changes

Qualtrics has announced the following new options:

• Evenly Present Choices - The same "Evenly Present Elements" feature that has been available for randomization in the Survey Flow will now be available when randomizing choices.
• Loop and Merge - "Loop and Merge" will be able to be based upon a number. For example, if the participant enters "3" in a test box, Qualtrics will present the looped block 3 times. This also works with multiple choice questions where the participant is selecting a number.
• Persistent Randomization - When using "Carry Forward" or "Loop and Merge" with random choices, the randomized order will be carried forward instead of the original choice order.
• Web Service Piped Text - Text will be able to be piped directly from a web service rather than needing to be saved as embedded data first.
• Save and Continue - The "Save and Continue" feature will now save all progress, including the current page, when a respondent closes out the browser window.
