Adding script filters

Desktop User Guides > Author > Changing the questionnaire order > Adding general conditional logic > Adding conditions > Adding script filters

Adding script filters enables you to define expressions that cannot be directly parsed for IfBlock, If Go To, and Skip-and-Fill items.

To create a Script Filter

1 Select the condition from the IfBlock or If Go To logic builder dialogs or the Skip and Fill dialog, and then click the Script Filter button

A new sub-expression is added to the selected condition that provides a text field.

2 Enter the expression.

Example

This script generates an exit message in a CATI survey:

If IOM.Info.InterviewMode = InterviewModes.imLocal Then
  InfoLocal.Ask()
ElseIf IOM.Info.InterviewMode = InterviewModes.imDataEntry Then
  TextDE.Response = "Data Entry"
  TextDE.Show()
ElseIf IOM.Info.InterviewMode = InterviewModes.imPhone Then
  InfoCATI.Ask()
ElseIf IOM.Info.InterviewMode = InterviewModes.imWeb Then
  InfoWeb.Ask()
End If
