====== getRoute() ======

''string **getRoute**()''

By using ''getRoute()'', how the participant came to be on the current page in the questionnaire can be determined. Possible return values are:

  * '''start''' -- The questionnaire has just begun. This is the first page the participant is presented with (and also shown for the first time).
  * '''next''' -- The participant clicked on the "Next" button and thus proceeded to the next (current) page.
  * '''back''' -- The participant clicked on the "Back" button and thus returned to the previous (current) page.
  * '''repeat''' -- The current page has already been shown and is now redisplayed (e.g. because a compulsory question was left unanswered).
  * '''jump''' -- The respondent got to this page by using a navigation button ([[:en:create:functions:buttontopage|buttonToPage()]]).


===== Notes =====

  * Do not try to implement a counter through a combination of ''getRoute()'' and ''registerVariable()'', which repeats a page multiple times. Instead, use ''[[:en:create:functions:looppage|loopPage()]]'', ''[[:en:create:functions:looptopage|loopToPage()]]'', or ''[[:en:create:functions:setpageorder|setPageOrder()]]''.
