Piping is the ability to display answer text within the text of another question. Within the question text or instruction text you can:
- display an answer to a question in a previous section
- display the First Name, Last Name or Business Name anywhere in the assessment
- 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, Report Text 2 or Report Text 3 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 |
| {Response.FirstName} | First Name from the Response |
| {Response.LastName} | Last Name from the Response |
| {Response.BusinessName} | Business Name from the Response |
| {ResponseAnswer.AnswerText[Sn SSn Qnn]} | Answer from a previous section. |
| {ResponseAnswer.AnswerReportText[Sn SSn Qnn]} | Answer Report Text from a previous section. |
| {ResponseAnswer.AnswerReportText2[Sn SSn Qnn]} | Answer Report Text 2 from a previous section. |
| {ResponseAnswer.AnswerReportText3[Sn SSn Qnn]} | Answer Report Text 3 from a previous section. |
Multiple merge strings can be used in one question (or instruction), for example, a question:
{Response.FirstName}, 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 |
