​

Recalling from a previous question

​

Pre-requisite

Ensure the answer you wish to recall precedes the question in which it will be recalled. Here’s an example of setting up the first question:

​

Step 1: Recall Data

Type @ in the question or description field where you want to insert a recall. This triggers a dropdown menu listing all preceding questions. Select the question you want to recall data from.

​

Step 2: Set a Fallback

To ensure the survey remains coherent when a response is missing (or the question is optional), you should set a fallback option.

​

Recalling from the URL

1. Create a hidden field, here is how →

2. Use the @ symbol in a question or description to recall the value of the hidden field

3. Set a fallback in case the hidden field is not being filled by a URL parameter

4. Use Data Prefilling to set the hidden field value when the survey is accessed

​

Recalling from a Variable

1. Create a variable, here is how →

2. Use the @ symbol in a question or description to recall the value of the variable

3. Set a fallback in case the variable is not being filled by a URL parameter
