Error Functions

Top  Previous  Next

Error Functions are used in displaying a message to the respondent that a question has not been completed properly and that they must remedy the problem before continuing.  The Error Functions only work when specified within the Compose | Survey Settings | Error Messages tab.  

 

These functions are different than other Sawtooth Script.  See Location Specific Functions.
