The answer to the question in the content of next questions

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?

  • 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.
