What is the first step in creating a survey in Qualtrics?

Selecting a survey type or template is the first step in creating a survey in Qualtrics because it helps lay the foundation for the survey structure. By choosing a survey type or template, you establish the overall design and framework, which can significantly streamline the process of question formulation and layout. Templates often come with pre-defined settings relevant to specific studies, allowing for a more organized approach in developing the survey.

Starting with a template or selected survey type can also reduce the time spent on formatting and organization, letting you focus more on crafting the content of the survey questions themselves. Once you have laid this groundwork, subsequent steps like designing questions, distributing the survey, or setting expirations can follow more logically and efficiently.
