Inserting a variable field

This is currently only available to beta-testers.

Inserting a variable field lets you change text in your dashboard. You can customize instructions and other text, based on survey variables or system settings, such as, interview date and time information.

  1. Position the cursor in the text at the location where you require the variable field.
  2. Click Insert variable field from the toolbar.
  1. The Variable list contains all the variables and system settings for the dashboard. Select the variable that you want to use.
  1. In Aspect, select the type of text to insert. There are two aspects to choose from: Label inserts the question response; Name inserts the question number.
  2. In Text Transformation, choose the case to display the text: UPPER CASE, lower case, Sentence case or Title Case.
  3. Click OK to save the changes to the dashboard. This displays the variable field inside brackets, for example, {Q2:Label}. This is a placeholder that is replaced by the variable field when a user is viewing the dashboard.
