Thanks to this function of Startquestion.com platform, the answers marked by the respondent will be included in the content of the question you indicate. Below we present you a detailed instruction on what should be done to use the answers provided in the next questions in the questionnaire.

How to refer to the answers from the previous question?

Worth to remember:

• You can only refer to the answers contained in single-choice questions,
• The question in which we use the [ANS_X] tag can’t be on the same page as the source question or the previous pages. This question must always be on the following pages of the questionnaire!
• At Startquestion.com, we have additional ways for dynamic content and a cafeteria for questions. You will learn this in the article about the labels of the respondents, and in the article about the dynamic cafeteria.
