Syntax

/ questions = [questionnumber, questionnumber = questionname; questionnumber-questionnumber = selectmode(questionname, questionname,...); questionnumber, questionnumber-questionnumber = questionname]

Parameters

questionnumber

A non-negative integer specifying the question number.

questionname

The name of a question defined elsewhere in the script to be run in this survey page.

selectmode

One of the following values:

Value	Description
noreplace	Randomly selects without replacement which question in the group to run.
noreplacenorepeat	Randomly selects which question in the group to present without replacement and without selecting any single question consecutively.
replace	Randomly selects with replacement which question in the group to run.
replacenorepeat	Randomly selects which question in the group to present with replacement and without selecting any single question consecutively.
sequence	Runs each question in the group.

Remarks

The integers to the left of the equal signs represent ordinal positions within the sequence of questions. questions can be directly assigned to a position in the sequence using the equals sign. A page can be simultaneously assigned to multiple positions by separating the position numbers with commas (equivalent to "and") or dashes (equivalent to "through"). All page numbers in the survey page must be assigned to a page.

Examples

The following survey page consists of 3 survey questions presented in fixed order:

<surveypage>
/ questions=[1=question1; 2=question2; 3=question3]
</surveypage>

The following survey page presents 4 questions in random order.

<surveypage>
/ questions=[1-4=noreplace(question1, question2, question3)]
</surveypage>
