Piping

Piping

feature

allows

to

insert/replace

texts

in

the

Piping

is

a

way

to

make

a

survey

dynamic

and

more

personal.

Example

Image Added
The respondents answer to the question "What color do you like?" is used as part of the following question "Why do you like ____?".

In

this

example

the

respondent

chose

"Green"

for

the

source

question,

therefore

the

piping

question

becomes

"Why

do

you

like

Green?".

This

is

an

example

of

a

"Question

Response"

type

of

piping.

Question Response

The piping value is taken from a response to a previous question. The above example is a "Question Response" question.

Things to remember:

• The piping source question must be set before the piping can be used, I.E. the source question must come before any piping questions.
• The source question must be on a separate page from piping questions. See Working with Page Breaks.

Invitee Data

This piping type pulls a value from the invitee list. The value can be:

• Invitee name - Name of the invitee.
• Invitee email - Email of the invitee .
• Invitee ID - The unique ID that is determined by the system.
• Invitee attribute - This is custom data that is set when the invitee list is created.

For more information on invitations and invitee lists see, Working with Invitations.

Fixed Value

Fixed value piping is useful for creating survey templates where unique pieces of text, such as class name, number, department, etc, are piping values. The same survey can be used for multiple groups of respondents - the piping values being the only piece of the survey that needs to be changed.
