What Happens After Import
Pirai AI converts the survey structure. After importing the QSF into Qualtrics, these elements are ready for immediate use: all questions with correct types and answer options, matrix row statements and scale labels, question blocks and page breaks, and descriptive text elements.
These elements are configured in Qualtrics post-import because they reference question IDs or external data sources created during import:
- Display logic and skip logic - reference the specific QIDs created during import. Configure in the Qualtrics editor using the display logic guide.
- Embedded data - set up in Survey Flow after import based on your distribution setup. See the embedded data guide.
- Quotas and randomisation - configured in Qualtrics' Quotas panel and block randomiser settings after import.
