.answered can be used to check if a question had a specific answer, or one of several answers, or even if it was answered at all. It always follows ifQ; for example:
ifQ(10) // if question 10 .answered() // was answered at all
.answered can be used in the following ways:
.answered() // answered at all
.answered(1, 2) // answered with option 1 OR 2
.answered([1, 2]) // answered with 1 AND 2 (multicheck)
.answered([1, 2], 3) // answered with BOTH (1 and 2) OR with 3
.answered("Pepsi") // answered with the text "Pepsi" (text questions).notAnswered is exactly like .answered, except in reverse: .notAnswered() means "was not answered at all", .notAnswered(1) means "was not answered with answer option 1", and so on.
.answered
ifQ(31) .answered(2) .appear(Q(41));
// Different question types can take different types of arguments!
// these can also be used
// .answered() // answered at all
// .answered(1, 2) // 1 or 2
// .answered(6, "wark") // text questions
// .answered([1, 2]) // 1 and 2, in the case of multicheck
// .answered([1, 2], 3) // (1 and 2) or 3
.notAnswered
ifQ(31) .notAnswered(2) .appear( Q(41) );
// Different question types can take different types of arguments!
// these can also be used
// .notAnswered() // answered at all
// .notAnswered(1, 2) // 1 or 2
// .notAnswered(6, "wark") // text questions
// .notAnswered([1, 2]) // 1 and 2, in the case of multicheck
// .notAnswered([1, 2], 3) // (1 and 2) or 3
Please note that checkbox question types are always considered answered by the system, so that question type cannot be used with this rule.
.answered and .notAnswered rules are currently not compatible with time length question types.
