warn tag

Warnings allow respondents to fail validation criteria and proceed by resubmitting the page after a second attempt. To convert a regular validation into a warning, add the warn tag or decorator.

45. What percent of your business is new construction?
type: slider
value display: y
postfix: %
min: 0
max: 100
dvalue: 50
validation: $Q45 != 50 {message: It looks like you didn't move the slider. If this value is correct, re-click the continue button.} {warn: y}

Details

• The warn tag or decorator must be used in conjunction with the validation tag or widget.
• The tag / decorator accepts the input of 'y'.
• If using the warn decorator, place it at the end of the single line validation, created with the validation tag, as shown above.
• If using the warn tag, add it on an independent line to a standalone validation widget.
• The validation message should be clear, indicating that the respondent may continue after resubmitting the page.

Additional examples

Applying the 'warn' tag

The warn tag is used when the validation statement is a separate widget from the question being validated. 

In the example below, when a slider defaults to a midpoint, a warning prompts respondents to confirm that leaving it unchanged is intentional.
