Qualtrics calls itself "Experience Management Software". We call it an online survey tool. Use of Qualtrics requires a subscription. As of 2025, it is unclear whether the Faculty of Social Sciences will continue its subscription for employees and students. We therefore recommend using LimeSurvey when creating a new survey.

The TSG does not provide support for Qualtrics, as online support by Qualtrics is included in the subscription. However, we can help with custom code if needed (HTML, CSS, Javascript).

Usage

While Qualtrics is a US-based company, using their service is allowed under General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) since the Faculty and the Supplier have a data processing agreement. Usage is only allowed for those purposes where on campus storage of data is not considered necessary.

Help

Please use the Qualtrics help > contact support function to contact the Support Center.

For help with your account or data management, find contact details to our data officer and Qualtrics administrator on RadboudNet (login required).

    leaveDates.push(new Date().toISOString())

}
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){
    console.log("load")   
    document.getElementById("Page").addEventListener("mouseleave", handleLeave, false)
})

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function(){
    console.log("unload")
    document.getElementById("Page").removeEventListener("mouseleave", handleLeave, false)
    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("date", leaveDates.join(","))
})

prevent cutting and pasting

Use the following code to prevent cutting and pasting from and to text fields, expect people to become angry if you use this.

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){
    /* Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed */
    ee = document.getElementsByClassName("InputText")
    for(e of ee){
        e.onpaste=function(){ return false }
        e.oncut=function(){ return false }
    }
})
