Utilizing Pipe-in Choices Between Choice Questions

Learn how to set up and use pipe-in choices between Choice questions in the Dataspace Question Edit tab.

Updated yesterday

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:

  1. Select the question where you want to enable pipe-in choices.

  2. Click the [Pipe-in Choices] icon in the upper-right corner.

  3. 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.
