deferterm

The IntelliSurvey platform supports deferred termination, which allows respondents meeting a termif or setterm condition to continue to a specified point in the survey before their interview is ended. This is extremely useful when the project requires a full set of screening data for respondents, even those not qualifying for the full survey (for example, in a market sizing exercise).

Syntax

Define page where termination occurs

To defer termination, use defer term. This tag is placed in the app config widget at the top of the survey source. The input is a string that corresponds to a page label or group name. When the respondent reaches the page, label, or group that corresponds to the defer term tag input, the respondent is terminated once that page is loaded, although any selectby or survey variables using cvalue on that page also populate with data.

app config
defer term: deferred_page_label
 
[SURVEY CONTENT, WITH TERM POINTS]

<p>This is the last page terminated respondents will see.

new page: deferred_page_label

Examples

Conditioned deferred termination group

This prevents non-terminated respondents from seeing the content within a group.

app config
deferterm: deferred
 
[SURVEY CONTENT, WITH TERM POINTS]

newpage
 
<p>This is the last page terminated respondents will see.
 
start group: deferred
condition: anyChecked($Q1,1)
 
[GROUP CONTENT]
 
end group: deferred 

Immediate termination within deferred termination

While deferred termination is in effect you can still immediately terminate a respondent by using the {goto: term} syntax.

X. Question X
type: radio
1. terminate {term: y} {goto: term}
2. pass

Term points after the deferred term

If a terminate is placed after the deferred termination point specified in the app config widget, it will cause immediate termination.

appconfig
deferterm: TERM_OUT
