Piping
Piping (or text inserting, or answer memory) allows you to automatically insert selected answer choices from question X into question Y. This way you can personalize your survey or broaden your knowledge on a certain subject.
Questions that support piping (can be used as source questions) :
- Choice question
- Matrix question
- Open-ended question
Standard piping
| Variable | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| {Q1} | Question 1 | 1 |
| {Q2} | Question 2 | 2 |
| {Q1C1} | Question 1 Column 1 | 1 |
| {Q1R1} | Question 1 Raw 1 | 2 |
| {Q1C1R1} | Question 1 Column 1 Raw 1 | 1 |
| {Q1A1} | Question 1 Answer choice 1 | 2 |
| {M1} | Metric value 1 | 5 |
| {MPT1} | Metric value position to top 1 | 4 |
| {MNPT1} | Metric name position to top 1 | Customer satisfaction |
| {MPB1} | Metric value position to bottom 1 | 1 |
| {MNPB1} | Metric name position to bottom 1 | Infoline satisfaction |
Example
P1
Q1 Where do you live?
P2
Q2 How do you rate the public transport in {Q1}?
The feature works for choice questions, matrix questions, and open-ended questions.
To add piping :
- Create source question
- Create the second question with the piping of the first question. In our case {Q23}.
EXAMPLE. This is a short example of piping functionality. In Q21 respondent selects Toyota and in Q22 selected car brand is used in the question.
