Triggering Questions

The Triggering Questions functionality enables you to refresh parts of a page depending on changes made in other parts of the same page. For example, you can specify that question 2 is presented once the respondent has provided an answer to question 1.

Assume you wish to ask the respondent why he/she chose a particular answer to the previous question. To do this:

1. Create a page.
2. Add a question item to the page, and provide the appropriate answers.
3. Add a second question, for example a Text question, and include the text to elicit the supplementary information.
4. Go to the second question's Script > Masking tab, and in the Question mask field add the script f("q1").toBoolean().
5. Click into the Triggering questions field and select the question you wish to use as the trigger, in this case the first question on the page.
