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 (buttonToPage()).getRoute()
and registerVariable()
, which repeats a page multiple times. Instead, use loopPage()
, loopToPage()
, or setPageOrder()
.
