Stage groups
and Types of research
. When a person signs up to GitLab First Look, they specify what they would like to receive studies about (stage groups) and what type of research they would like to take part in. It’s extremely important that when you contact users, you only email them in relation to their preferences.Stage groups
and Types of research
can contain multiple values (it’s rare that users sign-up to receive emails abouts one particular stage group or want to take part in one form of research). Therefore, your Operator

When using an Embedded Data Value
Qualtrics doesn't automatically auto-complete the value as you begin typing it. The search functionality can also be haphazard. Therefore, ensure you type out the value in full, as it is displayed above.
Embedded data fields used to be case-sensitive. For the vast majority of Qualtrics' users, embedded data is no longer case-sensitive, meaning “test” and “Test” would be treated as the same field. However, Qualtrics still advise matching cases as a best practice, as there are a small portion of accounts where this change has not been made.
Not all Embedded Data Values were created at the point of GitLab's First Look creation. Therefore, we don't necessarily have completed values for every user. It's also worth noting that some values for users may change over time. For example, someone may change jobs which may impact their job title, organisation and team size. Therefore, there may be some discrepancies in the information we hold about users. We plan to reduce this risk by periodically asking members of GitLab First Look to check and, where necessary, update the information we have on file for them.
