Hi,
I have a survey that is defined as follows:
<survey Demo>
/ pages = [1=infostatement1; 2=infostatement2; 3=consentform; 4=demographics1; 5=demographics2; 6=vig_instructions; 7=noreplace(vig1, vig2, vig3, vig4, vig5); 8=survey1_pg1; 9=survey1_pg2; 10=survey1_pg3]
/ showbackbutton = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ recorddata = true
</survey>
How can do I capture in the datafile if vig1, vig2, vig3, vig4 or vig5 was displayed for page 7?
I would be grateful if anyone can help.

The only way to capture that information would be to run the <surveypage>s via a <block>, not a <survey>, which will result in (a) a different data format ("long" instead of "wide") and (b) no ability to navigate back and forth between pages.
<block Demo>
/ trials = [1=infostatement1; 2=infostatement2; 3=consentform; 4=demographics1; 5=demographics2; 6=vig_instructions; 7=noreplace(vig1, vig2, vig3, vig4, vig5); 8=survey1_pg1; 9=survey1_pg2; 10=survey1_pg3]
</block>
The / showquestionnumbers = false attribute most be specified within each individiual <surveypage> element.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I have changed the script to run the survey via a <block> (instead of <survey>) and it is still not capturing which Vignette (i.e., vig 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) is displayed. I have ensured that the "/ showquestionnumbers = false" attribute is specified for every <surveypage> element. I also tried added adding "/ trialcode = "Vignette 01" but to no avail. Here is an example of how one of the Vignettes is defined in my survey:
<surveypage vig1>
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ caption = "Vignette"
/ questions = [1=vig1]
/ nextbuttonposition = (70%, 55%)
/ nextlabel = "PRESS TO CONTINUE"
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ recorddata = true
/ trialcode = "Vignette 01"
</surveypage>
<caption vig1>
/ caption =
"Inquisit is great!"
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ position = (10%, 10%)
</caption>
Thanks for your help!

I wasn't aware that the <surveypage> elements at issue do not actually contain any questions requiring responses, but merely display some text via a <caption>. As such, there actually isn't actually any data to record for said pages and that's why nothing shows up.
There are a couple of options here then:
(1) You can switch to standard <trial> / <text> elements to display your vignettes.
(2) You can set a <value> indicating the vignette displayed and log that value to the data file:
<surveypage vig1>
/ ontrialbegin = [values.vignetteshown = 1]
...
</surveypage>
<surveypage vig2>
/ ontrialbegin = [values.vignetteshown = 2]
...
</surveypage>
<values>
/ vignetteshown = 0
...
</values>
<data>
/ columns = [... values.vignetteshown ...]
...
</data>
(3) Somewhat hack-ish: You can put some dummy question on the pages, which will force them to be logged to the data file:
<block myblock>
/ trials = [1 = noreplace(vig1, vig2)]
</block>
<surveypage vig1>
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ caption = "Vignette 1"
/ questions = [1=vig1; 2=_]
/ nextbuttonposition = (70%, 55%)
/ nextlabel = "PRESS TO CONTINUE"
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ recorddata = true
</surveypage>
<caption vig1>
/ caption =
"This is the 1st vignette"
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ position = (10%, 10%)
</caption>
<surveypage vig2>
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ caption = "Vignette 2"
/ questions = [1=vig2; 2=_]
/ nextbuttonposition = (70%, 55%)
/ nextlabel = "PRESS TO CONTINUE"
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
/ recorddata = true
</surveypage>
<caption vig2>
/ caption =
"This is the 2nd vignette"
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ position = (10%, 10%)
</caption>
<textbox _>
/ required = false
/ position = (-10%, -10%)
</textbox>
Hope this helps.
