About the Library Page

You can store surveys, graphics, messages, and other file types within your Qualtrics libraries. You can access this content by going to the Library page.

There are four sections within the Library page:

• Survey Library: Stores templates of surveys, blocks, and questions for later copying, editing, or referencing in other projects.
• Graphics Library: Stores images you’ve uploaded to Qualtrics for later use in survey themes, questions, and messages.
• Files Library: Stores any non-image files you’ve uploaded to Qualtrics for later use in survey questions and messages.
• Messages Library: Stores all messages used in your projects (Invite Emails, End of Survey messages, Custom Validation messages, etc.).

For information regarding personal, group, and organization libraries and how to organize your library, visit the linked Survey Platform support pages.

Survey Library

While the Survey Library functions similarly with Employee Experience as it does with the Survey Platform, there are a few key differences to note.

First, you are unable to copy Employee Experience surveys to your library from the Projects page, but you can copy an Employee Experience survey to the library when in the survey library.

Second, note that if you add an org hierarchy question to your survey library, you will only be able to use this question in other Employee Engagement surveys, since a hierarchy is required for this question to function properly.

Third, in Employee Engagement, you will not be able to use the Reference Surveys feature in the survey flow. This feature can only be used in Survey Platform surveys.

With these differences in mind, visit the Survey Platform’s Survey Library support page for additional information on how to use the survey library.

Graphics Library

The graphics library works the exact same way for Employee Experience projects as it does for the Survey Platform. For more information, visit the Survey Platform’s Graphics Library support page.

Files Library

The files library works the exact same way for Employee Experience projects as it does for the Survey Platform. For more information, visit the Survey Platform’s Files Library support page.

Messages Library

While the messages library functions similarly with Employee Experience projects as it does with standard Qualtrics projects, it is important to note that in addition to standard Survey Platform messages, you will have the option to save unique Employee Experience messages here.

Employee Engagement Messages

After reviewing the unique Employee Engagement message types below, visit the Survey Platform’s Messages Library support page for additional information on how to use the messages library.

360 Library

In the 360 Library tab, you can save 360 projects as templates to use in later 360 projects. What parts of this project the template includes (survey, settings, reports, etc.) is up to you.

The Uses column indicates how many times people in your brand have used the template. Click the gear next to a template to delete, edit, or use it.

Deleting Templates

Click the gear and select Delete to delete your template. This removes the template from your library permanently, but does not delete projects created with the template.

If you still have a project based on this template, you can save this project to your 360 library.

Editing Templates

When you select Edit, you can change the following options:
