Individual Answers

The Question and Answer Id's are used as a short way of specifying a particular Question or Answer.  The ID code can be found by clicking on the ID button on an Answer in the Assessment Builder. 

For example, {ResponseAnswer.AnswerText[S1 SS1 Q10]} would produce the text entered into the response for the specified answer if the Answer Type is a Textbox or a multi-Line Text box. If the Answer Type is not text, the Answer Text (i.e. The wording of the answer selected) will be produced.  

For the Answer Report Text you can specify which Report Text you wish to use with the parameter RepText=n (only applicable if Additional Report Texts are selected in the Settings).  If RepText is not specified Report Text 1 is used.    

Answer Text in a Cohort Report 

In a Cohort Report, there are two distinct ways you may wich to show Answer Text.

• If you want to show text that will always be the same in all the responses,  then you can use {ResponseAnswer.AnswerText[Sn SSn Qnn]} as usual. The system will use the text from the first response.
• If you want to show text separately from each response,  then you add the SplitType=I parameter; i.e. {ResponseAnswer.AnswerText[Sn SSn Qnn SplitType=I]}. The system will show each text as a separate line. and the text will be appended with a dash and the Reporting Identifier of the response that has text in that answer.
