Follow the steps below to create parameters for these types of questions.
- Create your multi-control question. This example will ask the age of the participant in month and year.
- The above example has three pieces of text:
- AGE
- Years:
- Months:
In a single language survey, the text would be typed out within the set-up of the multi-control question. However, we will be using parameters to insert this text in. This is how the above question is set up:
Use {ParamValue:PARAMETERNAME} to insert the text. In this case, for the text ‘AGE’, the parameter name used is AGE. The ‘Years:’ and ‘Months:’ text are within AGEYR and AGEMO as the prompt/label before:
- To create the parameters, go to Survey > Preferences > Parameters tab.
- The Parameter List has two columns:
- Parameter Name
- Parameter Value
The Parameter Name is the name used within the {ParamValue:PARAMETERNAME} and Parameter Value is the text you want displayed. For the three parameters that were referenced in step 2, the following are the parameters for the age question:
- If the parameters and the multi-control question are set up correctly, when it is previewed, it should show as:
- If a parameter value is incorrect, the following error message will be given when previewed:
