Text Piping

Text piping enables you to dynamically insert text into questions and answers based on previous responses. Piped text can be used to personalize a survey (for example, you can address a respondent by their name) or simply to avoid re-entering already known information. In follow-up questions, piped text can be used to ask a respondent to indicate reasons behind their answer or elaborate on a brief response with further comments or details. In this demo, you are asked to enter contact information that is later used in a follow-up question about your preferred method of communication.

To use a previous response in a question title or choice item, simply insert the source question's name in curly brackets into the title property or a choice item's text property. View the configuration of the "contactby" question for a code example. If you want to learn more about dynamic texts in a survey, refer to the following help topic: Dynamic Texts.
