Automatically moving to the next page
The AutoNext feature checks that all visible questions on the page have been answered before automatically going to the next page. This helps reduce the interview time.
Please watch our video to show some examples of interviews using AutoNext.
Setting up AutoNext
Enter the text {{AutoNext}} in the questionnaire to turn on the AutoNext feature.
You can add it anywhere in the questionnaire, but we recommend adding it to the title, so you can easily see that the AutoNext feature is on. The respondent will not see the text {{AutoNext}} during the interview.
Both Snap XMP Desktop and Snap XMP Online use the same set up.
Questions that do not trigger AutoNext
There are some questions that do not trigger the AutoNext feature. This is because it is not possible to know when the respondent has completed their response for the question.
These include:
- Multiple response questions
- Open ended questions, such as comments, quantity, date and time
- Open series questions, such as comments, quantity, date and time
- Sliders
For these questions, the respondent can use the Next navigation button to move to the next page.
AutoNext during an interview
For pages that contain only single response questions, the interview automatically moves to the next page after all the questions on the current page have been answered.
In this example, the first single response question is complete. When the respondent answers the second single response question, the interview moves to the next page without the need to use the Next button.
On the next page, there is a single response question and an open ended question asking for information. After the respondent answers the first question, they move to the second question. The respondent enters the information and then either clicks the Next button or presses the tab key to automatically move to the next page.
