Answer masking can be used to screen (or mask) answers in a question using responses given to one or more previous questions. Masking helps to personalize a questionnaire to the respondent and improve data accuracy.
A questionnaire includes a multiple-response question,
| Carrots | |
| Peas | |
| Potatoes | |
| Beans | |
| Spinach |
| Carrots | |
| Spinach |
Both questions have the same list of choices available. Snap's mask facility can be used to restrict the list of choices in Q2 to the answers given by the respondent at Q1 (the "favorite" that they choose has to be one of the two vegetables they said they eat regularly in Q1, Carrots or Spinach).
Snap Survey Software allows masks to be applied to any single or multiple-response question.
