Creating a Project – Qualtrics

About Creating a Project

A project consists of a survey, distribution record, and collection of responses and reports. You can create a new survey project from scratch, from a copy of an existing survey or from a template.

Blank Survey projects are surveys you build from scratch.

  1. Navigate to the Projects page by clicking the XM logo or clicking Projects on the top-right.
  2. Click Create Project.

Creating Projects from XM Solutions

Solutions help you build questions and blocks based on information you set, such as product names or the method you’d like to use to collect information. The question structures used in Solutions are based on industry-standard research designs and perfected by subject-matter experts.

Solutions are different from Templates, in that Templates create a survey for you, whereas Solutions take you step by step through the survey creation, distribution, and reporting process.

  1. Navigate to the Projects page by clicking the XM logo or clicking Projects on the top-right.
  2. Click Create Project.

  6. Name your project.
  7. Click Create Project.
    xm 03
     
  8. You will land on the Overview tab. This is where the Solution will guide you through the major steps of the project, including survey creation, distribution, and reporting.

    xm 04
     
  10. Fill out the fields. These components will vary based on the Solution you selected, and come with detailed descriptions of their purpose.

    xm 05
     
  12. As you click the blue buttons on the Overview tab, you will be taken through the steps of the project. 
  13. Use the toolbar along the top if you ever need to go back a step.
  14. Steps will automatically advance as you complete the guided workflow. Some steps allow you to click Mark as Done to finish a step and move onto the next without completing the step’s recommended action.
  15. Use the tabs along the top if you’d like to edit components not included in the primary step. For example, you can go to the Survey tab to edit the survey theme and add demographic questions, whereas you can go to the Distributions tab to download an distribution history for emails you’ve sent.
