- display an answer to a question in a previous section
- display the report text, report text 2 or report text 3 for an answer to a question in a previous section
Within the Answer Report text you can
- include the answer to any question (including the current one).
Question Piping
The available merge strings for Question text and instructions piping are:
Merge String | Comments |
{ResponseAnswer.AnswerText[Sn SSn Qnn]} | Answer from a previous section. |
{ResponseAnswer.AnswerReportText[Sn SSn Qnn]} | Answer Report Text from a previous section. |
Use the RepText parameter to access other report texts.
Multiple merge strings can be used in one question (or instruction), for example, a question:
{ResponseAnswer.AnswerText[S1 SS1 Q10]}, you scored Product Safety {ResponseAnswer.AnswerText[S2 SS2 Q20]}, can you tell us why you gave it that score?
would appear in the response entry screen as:
Tom, you scored Product Safety 8, can you tell us why you gave it that score?
Answer Piping
The available merge string for Answer Report Text, Report Text 2 and Report Text 3 is:
Merge String | Comments |
{ResponseAnswer.AnswerText[Sn SSn Qnn]} | The answer to any question (including the current one). |
