Qualtrics offers a few resources for you to get started. Here are the ones we recommend:

• Quick start video,
• Comprehensive suite of documentation, guides, manuals and tutorials,
• Interactive support page,
• Basecamp training area with videos and courses for all aspects of the platform.

Note: If Qualtrics asks for the Organization ID for your Single-Sign-On (SSO) login, please use "RUG" as your ID.

First of all, Qualtrics is not intended to be used as a storage platform for your data. You can collect your data there while the survey is open, but we advise you to take the data out and store it in a secure UG location once your collection phase is over. Once again: Do not use Qualtrics to store your research data!

To make sure you safely export your surveys, this is what you need to do:

• Log in at Qualtrics
• Export your completed surveys
  • Go to Survey → Tools → Export → Export Survey.
  • This will download a QSF file with the empty survey, so you can re-use it later in the new research. This file does not contain any research data from respondents.
• Export research data from respondents
  • Go to Data & Analysis → Export & Import → Export data, and choose the format you would like to store the data in (e.g. SPSS format)
  • More information about data export at Qualtrics.com 
• Verify (in e.g. SPSS) that your data has indeed been successfully stored
• Save the QSF file from (2) and your data file from (3) in a UG location suitable to store research data
• Remove the survey from Qualtrics
  • In the right hand side of the main menu after the project name you can find the button for Actions → Delete Project
  • More information about deleting your data at Qualtrics.com 
• Repeat step 2 through 6 for all finished surveys.

If you have any questions, or if you are running into any issues, please contact your local administrator or the DCC.
