In aytm Logic, references and aliases can be used in multiple ways, achieving a wide range of text and survey flow manipulations.

How to Use Piping Logic

You can extract question, subquestion, or answer text using direct references — simply mention the reference in the logic without any modifiers. The logic can be placed at any level: question, subquestion, or answer.

💡 Tips:

• The respondent must have been exposed to the element before its text can be piped. If the exposure didn't happen, "logic error" will be piped instead.
• To pipe answer text in questions that have a subquestion level, you must include the subquestion in the reference — e.g. [Q1SQ1A5] to pipe the fifth answer from Q1.

Common Use Case Examples

• [Q10] — pipes in the question text from Q10
• [Q10 if Q5A1] — pipes Q10's text if the respondent chose A1 in Q5
• [Q10 if @promoter] — pipes Q10's text if the respondent was aliased as "promoter" earlier in the survey
• [Q10A1] — pipes in the first answer text from Q10
• [Q10A1 if Q5A1] — pipes Q10's A1 text if the respondent chose A1 in Q5
• [Q10A1 if @promoter] — pipes Q10's A1 text if the respondent was aliased as "promoter"
• [Q10SQ1] — pipes in the first subquestion text from Q10
• [Q10SQ1A1] — pipes in the first answer of the first subquestion of Q10
• [Q10R] — pipes in the respondent's response to Q10
• [Q10Ri] — pipes in the image associated with the respondent's response to Q10
• [Q10A3c] — pipes in the open-ended comment from A3 in Q10
