If else statements for survey 123 templates

JessicaStoeckli

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to write a syntax for a report template that displays a value when another value is true and display a "\" or "-" if there was no entry.

For example - if they answered "yes" to Q1. then display the answer to Q.2, otherwise "-" is displayed. I tried the else statement but I must have something wrong because it is giving me a parse error. 

Thanks

There really isn't an if/else statement as we would expect in the template. It is an if/then nothing statement where nothing happens if the if statement isn't met. What you'd need to do is set up 2 if statements one for if q1 = yes and another statement for if q1 = no.

It would look something like this, assuming a select one question for the yes/no response:

${if q1 | selected:"yes"} ${q2} ${/}

${if q1 | selected:"no"} - ${/}

Here's the page for conditional formatting for more guidance.
