Overview

When publishing a survey in Qualtrics, users are required to select a descriptive tag from each of the three lists detailed below. These tags allow WSU to define what area or department is responsible for the billable responses generated by the survey.

The tagging process, called Usage Tags, is internal to the Qualtrics application. Documentation provided by Qualtrics can be found at Tagging Surveys for Qualtrics Creators.
