Today, we’re happy to introduce a helpful new feature called Piping. Available on paid plans, Piping allows you to display an answer from a previous question on a later page. For example, a piped answer could be displayed in a question or as a new answer choice in a follow-up question.

If you ask the participant to choose a favorite color:

You could incorporate the answer into a question asked later in the survey:

Or, if you ask the participant’s name:

You could include his or her name in a final “thank you” message:

How to Add Piping

Piping can be used to pull answers from the following question types:

• Multiple Choice – Single answer
• Multiple Choice – List
• Open Text – Single line
• Open Text – Paragraph

Selected, or piped, text can be displayed within these survey elements:

• Question titles
• Answer choices
• Headings and paragraphs
• A “thank you” message

Remember, to add Piping, the piped text must be inserted below its original placement, on a later page of the survey. For example, to display text for question one, simply insert [Q1] in the text of a later question, answer choice, paragraph, or message.

We hope you enjoy this new feature! As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please email us at: support@survs.com.
