qualify if tag

The qualify if tag defines conditional logic for qualifying respondents based on their answers.

1. Which age range do you fall into?
type: radio
1. Younger than 18 years old
2. 18 - 24 years old
3. 25 - 44 years old
4. 45 - 64 years old
5. 65 years old or older
qualify if: anyChecked($Q1,4,5) {text: < 45 yo}

Details

• To set up qualification logic, add the qualify if tag to a question or non-quota variable and define a logical condition (e.g., anyChecked($Q1,4,5)) as its value.
• Just like term if, the term text tag or text decorator customizes the termination text to display in reports.
• To streamline code, the qualify if tag and text decorator are used in a single line of code as shown above. Alternatively, use a multi-line approach by placing the qualify if and term text tags on separate lines.
• The logical condition can reference content on the same page or elsewhere within the survey.
• Once a qualify if tag is added to the survey source code, the tracking variables disp and disp first are added to the survey's data.
• You can include multiple qualify if tags on a single question, provided each has a unique ID and text decorator.
• When a single qualify if tag is used, the term text tag or text decorator is optional. However, it is recommended for better clarity and brevity in reports and exports.
