Adding Collaborators to your Survey Project
Qualtrics allows for working with collaborators on a survey project. This article covers both collaborating with other members of the OU community and collaborating with people outside the university.
Collaborating with other OU faculty, staff, or students
To collaborate with others at OU, everyone must first activate their Qualtrics accounts. For information on activating your account visit the first-time login article for your campus:
Once everyone has an active account, follow the steps below to add OU collaborators.
- Open the survey builder. This is the default page when you first open the survey.
- Click the Tools dropdown menu.
- Select Collaborate.

- Select User and Group Address Book. NOTE: Using this method will ensure that the survey is linked correctly between the accounts and eliminates the need to accept a sharing invitation or use a collaboration code.
