Pipe-in choices allow you to carry over options selected or not selected by respondents in the current question and use them as options in a subsequent question. For instance, when creating a brand funnel in the order of awareness > usage experience > recent usage experience, you can use pipe-in choices to narrow down the options and ask follow-up questions iteratively.
How to Set Up Pipe-in Choices
To set up pipe-in choices:
Select the question where you want to enable pipe-in choices.
Click the [Pipe-in Choices] icon in the upper-right corner.
A new pipe-in choice question will be automatically created below the current question.
Pipe-in choice questions are labeled [QN Piping] in both the question card area and the edit section.
How to Use Pipe-in Choices
① When displaying options selected in the previous question
Pipe-in choices can be used to ask follow-up questions such as identifying known items and then asking about usage or experience with those items.
Q1. Please select all the brands you were aware of before responding to this survey.
Q2. Among the brands you know, please select all the ones you have used or experienced within the last three months.
② When displaying options not selected in the previous question
Pipe-in choices can also be used to ask questions like identifying the least preferred items or determining the most disliked items from those not selected earlier.
Q3. The following are features of Product A. Which feature do you like the most?
Q4. Now, among the features of Product A, which one do you like the least?
📌 Important Notes!
Pipe-in choices should be set up while considering all response scenarios.
For example, when displaying options selected in the previous question, consider how to handle respondents who choose [None].
In the above example, you can prevent respondents who selected the [None] option from entering Q2, or you can add the [None of the above] option to Q2 to provide an option that can be selected without logical errors.
