SetValue(QuestionName, Value)
GetValue(QuestionName)
Web v8 you can now easily save variables using the new SSI Script SetValue() function. Any existing question fields in the database can be set. For example:
[%SetValue(Q1, 5) %]
would set the value for Q1 to 5 in the database.
Currently we do not have a place in the SSI Web interface where you can specify variable names. One work around is to use Pass-In Fields (located in the Start question) to setup variables that can be used by SetValue(). For example you could create a Pass-In field named “age”. You could then set the value for “age” to 45 midway through the survey using the following command:
[%SetValue(age, 45) %]
To retrieve the value for age you can use:
[%GetValue(age) %]
which returns the current value for age stored in the database.
