Creating Tokens

Access the Add Token form.

After you enter the token, click OK to save the information, and then click Cancel to exit the form.

Token Name

Enter a descriptive name for the token. The name that you choose should be easy to find in an alphabetical search. When you insert tokens into questions, you cannot search for tokens using a query by example (QBE) line. You select tokens from an alphabetical list. Also, because variables and tokens are closely linked, you might want to consider naming tokens and their associated variables with the same name.

Variable Name

Enter the name of the associated variable that is used to hold the value that you want to use to replace the token. For example, if the token that you are creating is used to display the respondent's favorite color, enter the variable that is associated with the question What is your favorite color? in this field.
