About Response Ticker Widgets

The response ticker widget displays individual response information in a scrolling list. In addition, a numerical value from different fields can be displayed alongside textual information, such as an NPS or satisfaction score, for example.

a response ticker widget

Qtip: This widget is available in CX Dashboards, BX Dashboards, and all types of EX Dashboards, including Engagement, Lifecycle, Ad Hoc Employee Research, Pulse, and 360 projects.
Qtip: The response ticker scrolls as more feedback appears in the table. It can show a maximum of 10,000 responses. This limit also applies to the number of responses that can be exported when exporting the widget to CSV, TSV, or XLSX format.
Qtip: When exporting the response ticker to PDF/JPG, only responses that are currently visible in the widget will export. For example, if the above widget were exported to PDF, the export would contain only the four visible responses. You can export more responses by resizing your widget so that more responses are visible.

Types of Dashboards

This widget can be used in a few different types of dashboard. This includes:

CONTENT

the content options

  • Show responses with no content: Enabling this option will display all responses, including those that do not contain data for your chosen content. Deselect this option to hide empty responses.
  • Remove content labels: Enable this to remove content field names from the widget. If you selected more than one content field, content will be separated by only a line break. If one of the fields was left blank, it will say “N/A.” If you do not like how this looks, you can always try using the default field selector.
  • Show full response when clicked: When enabled, clicking on the response displays a detailed record allowing you to view related tickets, action those tickets, and email the client from the ticket. For more information, see Enabling the Full Response Records. This feature is only available in CX Dashboards and is not available in Engagement, Lifecycle, Ad Hoc Employee Research, 360, or Pulse dashboards.
  • Show Email tab in full response: When enabled, clicking on the response displays an Email tab where you can email the client without a ticket. This option only shows up when Show full response when clicked is enabled. This feature is only available in CX Dashboards and is not available in Engagement, Lifecycle, Ad Hoc Employee Research, 360, or Pulse dashboards.
    Qtip: For this option to work, a Brand Administrator must also make sure Disable “Send Email” button in tickets is not selected in Ticket Settings.
  • Use default field selector: If you’ve added multiple content fields to your response ticker widget, you may want to choose a field to display as default, and just make the rest available for selection from a dropdown. Select Use default field selector to create a dropdown on your widget that users can adjust when you have multiple content fields.

TICKER

Adjust how the color changes for each ticker value by configuring the range. Use the plus ( + ) and minus ( ) signs to manually adjust the values in the range, or you can type directly in the fields.

Attention: Thresholds will be applied when the response value is greater than or equal to the threshold value.

Commenting on Responses

Qtip: “Commenting” must be turned on within the dashboard’s settings to allow commenting to appear in the widget. This setting can be found in the Theme section of your dashboard settings.

The response ticker widget allows you to leave comments on the responses it displays. This section describes how to use this functionality on desktop, but it is also available on mobile; see the Qualtrics XM App page for details.

Users with either view or edit access to the dashboard (CX|EX) can add comments. Users cannot comment on any pages, data, or dashboards they do not have permission to view. Once created, a comment can be viewed by all the users with access to the corresponding pages or data in the dashboard.

Qtip: It is not possible to disable commenting in an individual widget.

Leaving Comments on Responses

  1. Click the dropdown.

  2. Select Add a comment.
  3. Type your comment.

  4. When finished, press Enter (Windows) or return (Mac) on your keyboard. You can also click the send button.

Mentioning Users in Comments

If you want to mention someone in a comment, type @ followed by their name (e.g., @Barnaby). Click the user when their name appears in the list.

Qtip: You can only mention users that already exist in your Qualtrics brand.

Once you post the comment, the user will receive a notification. The notification will include the comment and, once clicked, link the user to the response ticker in the dashboard.

Qtip: You will also get a notification if someone responds to a comment you left, regardless of whether they mentioned you.

In the menu that opens from the notification, the user can leave another comment.

Attention: Mentioning someone in a comment will not automatically share the dashboard with them; that means if they do not have permission to view the dashboard, they will not see any of its data, even if they click the notification to try to go to the dashboard.

Viewing Comments

Once comments are left on a response, they can be viewed by clicking the View # comment(s) text. Comments will be listed from newest to oldest, with the most recent on top.

The response ticker widget allows dashboard viewers to search responses by keywords. This is accomplished by adding a filter by following the steps below:

  1. Edit the widget.
  2. Next to Filters, click Add.

  3. Go to the Search by Keyword section and select the field you’d like to filter by.

By default, users will be able to specify whatever keyword they’d like to filter by. If you want to limit the keywords users can filter by, you can do so by following the procedure below:

  1. Click the filter icon on the response ticker widget.
    Clicking the filter icon opens a new menu where you can adjust keywords
  2. Click All.
  3. Enter the desired keywords separated by commas in the keyword box.
    Qtip: Symbols can be used to specify choices when searching keywords. The search functionality can search exact phrases by using quotes (Chocolate Chip), use an OR operator to match either phrase (cinnamon OR sugar), and remove negative matches using a minus sign (peanut butter -“peanut butter cookies).

Enabling the Full Response Records (CX)

Attention: This feature is only available in CX Dashboards.

You can make it so that when someone in your dashboard clicks a widget, they can view a detailed record of the response, view related tickets, action those tickets, and then email the client from the ticket. This seamless integration prevents your dashboard users from having to navigate between their tickets and the dashboard.

To enable this feature, select Show full response when clicked in the display options menu.

After this setting is enabled, all your dashboard users have to do is click the dots in the upper-right of a response and then select View full record.

Click view full record to see the full record when enabled

Making Edits to the Record

  5. Click Delete to remove an entire section.
  6. Click Save to save your changes.
