About Renaming Your Survey

Qualtrics projects have 3 names:

  • Project Name: The name that displays in Qualtrics.
  • Survey Header: The name that can be displayed to respondents.
  • Display Name: The name that appears on the survey browser tab.

You can change or update each of these at any time.

Project Name

Your project name is used for identifying your overall project (survey, responses, results) within Qualtrics. This is the name you see when on the Projects page and the name that appears at the top of the screen when you’re navigating through the different tab for your project.
