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" 
.
{note:Important}
* The piping source question must be set before the piping can be used, I.E. the +source question+ must come before any +piping questions+.

Piping Types 

 There are three types 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.
