About piping 

• Piping codes allow you to pipe, or move, participants to the next question based on their answer.
• This allows you to ask more relevant questions based on the previous answer.
• For piping codes to work, the questions involved have to be on different pages.
• If a study is duplicated, manually update piping codes added to questions with the piping codes from the new study.
  
  

Piping example

• In your study, here is your first question:
  
  Q1: What size Company do you work for?
         Small
         Midsize
         Large
  
  
• In this example, we'll say the piping code for your answer is C9999C9999,
• To pipe the participant's answer to the next question, Q2 enter the code from Q1. For example:
  
  Q2:  In your opinion, what are the advantages of working in a #_C9999C999_# company? Enter your answer in the text box below.
  
  
• If the participant answers Midsize in Q1, the text for Q2 will be "In your opinion, what are the advantages of working in a Midsize company?"
