Qualifications Example - 5 out of 15 liked products (Power Surveys)

Tip: Random distribution and Least Filled concept testing are available for surveys! Both of these methods allow you to achieve even distribution without scripting. For more information, see Quick comparison: Random distribution, Least Filled concept testing, even distribution scripts.

Example

You have 15 new names for a frozen dinner product. You ask respondents to select all the names that they like on a multi choice question called "NAMES_LIKE" and would like each respondent to rate up to 5 names of the ones they like.

Detailed Steps

1. Import the template into your panel:
   • Download the PXML template here.
   • In the Surveys app, click New Project.
   • Under Power Survey, click Import.
   • Select the PXML template you downloaded, and click Open.
   • Give the power survey an internal name.
   • Click Upload.
2. Add the template to your study:
   • Create/author your power survey as required.
   • Go to the Questionnaire tab of your study.
   • Click Library on the Authoring toolbar.
   • In the Library Browser, look for the template study in the Studies section, under Pending Studies (the study you created in step 1).
   • Expand the template study in the Library Browser and drag the EDMQ15_QUALEX_2PLUS_OF_MAX_15 block into your study as required. Do not rename any of the blocks or questions.
   • Ensure that NAMES_LIKE is placed anywhere in the study but before EDMQ15_QUALEX_2PLUS_OF_MAX_15 block. Note that NAMES_LIKE is not part of the template. We are assuming you have a multi-choice question like this in your study, and NAMES_LIKE is just an example question name. Question name does NOT have to be the same.
     
     
   • Expand the EDMQ15_HIDDEN block and delete the conditional sequence IF_EDMQ15_CONCEPTS_QUALIFIED.
     
     Note: This Conditional Sequence is required to pull in the EDSQ15_CONCEPT_QUALIFIED recode question as a dependency. Once the template is within the study, the EDSQ15_CONCEPT_QUALIFIED Conditional Sequence is irrelevant and can be removed.
3. Set up Even Distribution: 
   • Click on the EDMQ15_CONCEPTS question and update the answer options with the list of your 15 frozen dinner names.
     
   • Click on the EDMQ15_SET_CONCEPTS_EXCL script action and update the first line of script to show up to 5 concepts.
     
   • In this example, there are no exclusive concepts so no need to update the second line of script. It should look like the below screenshot:
     
4. Create your concept questions:
   • Each concept will have its own conditional sequence and block of questions within the conditional sequence.
     
     Concept 1 questions: Expand the IF_EDMQ15_CONCEPT_1 conditional sequence and author the questions in the EDMQ15_CONTENT_CONCEPT_1 block. Delete the EDMQ15_CONCEPT_1 text instruction.
     
     
     Concept 2 questions: Expand the IF_EDMQ15_CONCEPT_2 conditional sequence and author the questions in the EDMQ15_CONTENT_CONCEPT_2 block. Delete the EDMQ15_CONCEPT_2 text instruction.
     
   • Repeat for the rest of the 15 concepts.
5. Create the qualifications for each concept:
   • Click on References and Recodes at the bottom of the questionnaire tree.
   • Click on the EDMQ15_CONCEPTS_QUALIFIED recode question. Ensure that the option list aligns with the option list in EDMQ15_CONCEPTS question. There should be 15 responses here.
     
   • Update the recode filter for each concept to reflect what the corresponding qualification should be. In this example, the filter for Name 1 is shown in the following screenshot. Similarly, the filter for Name 2 is "NAMES_LIKE IS 2", the filter for Name 3 is "NAMES_LIKE IS 3" and so on.
     
     
6. Update the disqualification text EDMQ15_NO_QUAL_DQ as required.
   
   
7. Validate and test your survey.
