Hi all, My questions is about the opportunities for item criteria. In the Ethica learning page it is stated that that criteria can be applied to answers of previous questions within the same survey (i.e., Q{item}), or an item from a different survey within the same study (i.e., Q{survey}_{item}). I…

Basically, I would like to create two projects: one with a baseline survey (let’s say survey_ID = x), and another with a main survey. I want them to be in separate projects because of relative time triggering concerns. In the baseline survey, we want participants to indicate in which class they are …

Hi @t.siebers First, sorry for the delay in answering your question. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to use responses in one project for skip patterns and branching in another project. In Ethica, projects (or Studies) are completely isolated and you cannot reference each other. That being said, …

Hi @m.hashemian , Thanks for your reply. The reason why we want to set up two studies is because we have a baseline measurement, which starts a few weeks before the main study. We do not impose restrictions on the time of registration for the baseline session, meaning that they can sign up any time …

One way to do so is to use absolute dates for surveys instead of relative to registration time. Let’s say you want the study to start on Dec. 1st, and finish on Dec. 21st, but you want want to allow people to join anytime before Dec. 1st. You set the start time of the study to now, and end time to …

That sounds perfect! Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the absolute time triggers (e.g. setting it to 10:00:00 on December 1st, 2019) in Ethica… Could you tell me where to find this option? Can I do this with JSON code? -Teun

Unfortunately (or, fortunately, if you are comfortable with JSON!), this can only be done in JSON. To do so, create your surveys and all triggering logics, then download the JSON file and open it with a text editor. You would need to format the JSON text in order to be able to read it easier. Then y…

Also, if you are comfortable reading and modifying JSON files, you can find the detailed description of Ethica Survey’s JSON template in the survey schema .

That’s exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much! Teun
