GoBack (Questionnaire Files)

QuickInfo

If checked, an option will be provided to participants to return to the previous questionnaire item.

Values

True (checked) or False (unchecked)

Purpose

In the details window of a questionnaire file, you can check the GoBack option for any questionnaire item. If you check the GoBack option for any given item, then that item will be provide participants with a "Go Back" button which can be clicked to return to the previous questionnaire item. This is especially useful if you are concerned about participants entering responses they might want to go back and change. However, be aware that only the participants last response to an item is recorded in the data files; if an item is encountered for a second time after the "Go Back" button is used, any previous responses to that item are not recorded in the data.

If you check the GoBack option for a sequence of items, then participants will be able to back up through the Questionnaire File. Note though that the GoBack function is limited to the active Questionnaire File and will not let participants return to a previous Questionnaire File from that experiment file.
