Let’s take a look at virtual questions relative to codes and codebooks.

 

Virtual Question Presets

Codebook presets are available in Virtual Questions to automatically generate and assigns codes for efficient correlation analysis.

1. On the Results page, click the Data Lab tab in the left menu.
2. Click the Virtual Question bar to add a Virtual Question to your report, or drag it into place between questions.
3. Click the Optional Presets drop-down menu, and scroll to Codebooks.
4. Select the desired codebook and Generate Visualization.

Note: If a user renames a code, it will automatically update in Virtual Questions.

Manually Create Virtual Questions using Codes

1. On the Results page, click Data Lab, and click on the Virtual questions button, or drag it into place in your report. 
2. Click Switch to advanced mode along the top of the A1. text box.
3. Click into the A1. field.
4. Type the logic as tag Q# = 'codebook name: code name', where Q# is your question number, followed by an equals sign, then the codebook name and code name separated by a colon, all enclosed in single quotes. E.g., tag Q2='Other Pets:Rabbit/Bunny'
5. Provide a label for your A1 code in the field to the right.
   Note: If you would like to see the word cloud associated with a code, be sure to include the question number where those words appear, so the system knows to pull that data as well.
6. Add a code in the A2. field in the same way.
7. Click Generate Visualization to generate the chart. This will allow you to quantify the respondents, build charts, or filter the survey data to create a virtual question based on specific codes.

Once the stats update, you can see the word cloud and the open-ended comments.

Logic for Codes and Codebooks

To capture the frequency of use of a single code on a single question: Q1 tag = 'codebook name: code name' is the same as tag Q1 ='codebook name: code name'   To capture the same as above but on multiple questions: tag Q1,Q2 = 'codebook name: code name' is the same as tag Q1 = 'codebook name: code name' or tag Q2 = 'codebook name: code name' The , works as or. To express and: tag Q1 = 'codebook name: code name' and tag Q2 = codebook name: code name' Note: For single questions, the 'Q1' can go before or after tag, but for multiple questions, it can only come after tag. The same structure applies to codebooks:     Codebook = 'name' Codebook Q1 = 'name' is the same as Q1 codebook = 'name' Codebook Q1,Q2 = 'name' is the same as codebook Q1 = 'name' OR codebook Q2 = 'name' Q1 = 'name' AND Q2 = 'name' is the same as codebook Q1 = 'name' and codebook Q2 = 'name'
