Depending on the project status, you’ll see other metrics as well.

Every project has a Project Actions menu located in a dropdown to the far right. These options allow you to access different aspects of the project or perform different actions directly from the My Projects page.

Create a new project from scratch

A project consists of a survey, distribution record, and collection of responses and reports. When you create a new project, you can create its associated survey from scratch, from a copy of an existing survey, from a template in your Survey Library, or from an imported file.

Creating a New Project

Click Create Project and choose New Survey.

After clicking Create Project, you’ll be taken to the Survey module where you can begin adding questions to your survey.

Interface

The main area of the Survey module is the survey editor—the space where you create and edit individual questions and blocks. Here you can see each question in your survey laid out in the order they’ll appear to your respondents. Any change to a question’s content or functionality will be made here.

Get started with creating questions

Once you’ve created your survey, you’re ready to start building. This page outlines how to add, delete, copy, and edit multiple questions at once in the Survey module.

Click Create a New Question.

If desired, change the question type by clicking the green dropdown labeled Change Question Type and then select your desired question type. Click on any text to begin editing your question or choices.

Questions Options

There are many question options available for you on Qualtrics, you could:

Build a new descriptive text question that welcomes your respondents to your survey. Using the Rich Content Editor, insert an image of your ice cream shop in the text of this question.
Insert a manual page break after your welcome question.
Build a new multiple choice question (after the page break) asking your respondents if they recently visited your ice cream shop.
Build a new multiple choice question asking your respondents for their gender.
In a new block, build a new matrix table question asking how satisfied your respondents were with various aspects of your ice cream shop (taste, flavor options, atmosphere, staff).
Build a new text entry question asking why your respondents were dissatisfied with their visit to your ice cream shop.
Use the Look & Feel to apply a survey theme that you like.
Use the Look & Feel to change the question text across your entire survey to Georgia font.

Deleting Questions

If you no longer need a question, it can be deleted. A deleted question will be stored in your trash bin until permanently deleted.

Warning: Deleting a question in an active survey will invalidate all of the data associated with that question. View our tutorial on Testing and Editing an Active Survey for more information.

Move your mouse over the question.
Click the red minus sign that appears to the right.
Deleting Questions

Undelete a Question

Click Trash/Unused Questions located at the bottom of your survey.

Select the question you would like to undelete.

Click Restore.

Editing Multiple Questions

Once you have selected multiple questions in your survey, a new menu will appear allowing you to delete, copy, and move questions in addition to other options.

You have three ways to select multiple questions:

Select the checkboxes of the questions you want to group

- Hold Ctrl and click the questions you want to group
- Click the first question you want to select, hold Shift, and then click the last question you want to select. This will select both the questions you clicked and all the questions in between.
Once you have selected multiple questions, a list of group actions will appear to the right of the questions.

GROUP ACTIONS

Send to Trash: Delete selected questions. Deleted questions will be stored in your Trash until permanently deleted.
Copy: Copy all selected questions at once. Copied questions are placed below the currently selected questions.
Group: Pull questions that are spread out across the survey into one location. Grouped questions are pulled to the location of the last selected question.
Move to a New Block: Moves selected questions into a newly created block placed at the end of the survey.
Move: Relocate all selected questions to a designated area in the survey.
Validation: Enable Force Response on all selected questions.

Change How your survey will look.

In Look and Feel tab, you could change the appearance of your survey, such as changing the text of the Next and Back buttons, adding a progress bar, changing the number of questions displayed per page, highlighting questions, and adding a visual separator between questions.

The way your survey looks can determine how well it performs. The good news is that Qualtrics gives you the ability to customize the appearance of your survey in many different ways.

To access these customization options, go to the Look & Feel menu in the Survey module.

Look & Feel

Changing Next and Back Button Text

By default, the buttons at the bottom of each page will show >> and << to cater to an international audience. These buttons can be customized with your own wording.

next button

Qtip: Surveys by default don’t include a back button, but you can turn this on in the Survey Experience.

Navigate to the Survey module and open Look & Feel.

Type new text into the Next Button Text and Back Button Text fields.

Adding a Progress Bar

With a Progress Bar, participants can see how far along they are in the survey. We generally recommend a progress bar over question numbers because it gives participants an idea of both how far they’ve come and how much further they have to go.

question number

Navigate to the Survey module and open Look & Feel.

Select a progress bar style from the Progress Bar dropdown.
