Merging External Coded Data into Qualtrics DB


Badge +3
Hi all, I've created a survey on Qualtrics with an open question: once collected the data, we have coded externally the open question. Which is the best practice to merge coded data with the rest of the Qualtrics Database? Thanks

Would recommend the in-product text tools, but assuming they are unavailable to you or didn't fit your need you can add external data in a number of ways.

* From Data & Analysis you can add a new column to your data (Tools -> Create New Filed). Once the field is there you can either use the Edit tool to populate your codes or export the data and merge in your codes and re-import.
* For an automated approach you can add an embedded data field to you survey and use the Update Response API (https://api.qualtrics.com/docs/update-response)
