1. The questions in the survey which I upload in QuestionPro does not follow the order present in Qualtrics, what should I do?
   • You can simply re-order the questions and achieve the desired order of the questions in a survey. To know more about reordering the questions Click Here
2. My survey in Qualtrics has Branch logic applied on few blocks, will the qsf file import or it will give me an error?
   • The qsf file will be uploaded and the survey will be created in your QuestionPro account but the logics will not be applied on the survey. QuestionPro does not import any logic present in the qsf file. You can apply the logics on your survey after importing it from the qsf file.
3. When I tried to import the data via CSV file blank responses on the dashboard got created in my survey what should I do?
   • QuestionPro supports the regular data export from Qualtrics which contains the answer values. Kindly export the data again with answer values from your Qualtrics account and then upload it in your QuestionPro survey.
4. Is there any limitation to the size of the CSV file while importing the responses?
   • Yes, QuestionPro allows CSV files with a maximum size of 20 MB when uploading them for importing responses into a survey.
5. While importing the responses via CSV, does QuestionPro import custom fields as well?
   • When the responses are imported via CSV using the Qualtrics import tool, QuestionPro imports the basic response metadata fields in addition to the question's answers. The basic response metadata fields are startDate, endDate, ipAddress, finished, recipientEmail, userLanguage, duration, locationLatitude, and locationLongitude. Except for the given metadata fields, QuestionPro does not import any other fields.
6. If a question is skipped during import due to being unsupported or an error, how can we add the data for that question?
   • If a question is skipped during survey import, the response data for that question cannot be imported as it cannot be linked to a corresponding question.
