Placeholders are special codes that can be used to display dynamic information to your panelists. Dynamic information is information other then static text. Placeholders can show information that is attached to your products such as the blindingcode or description, placeholders can also contain other information such as information about the questionnaire or the panelist filling in the questionnaire.

Placeholders can be accessed from the rich editor box which becomes available to the user when the user clicks anywhere in the question text box. You can also access placeholders in other places such as email templates, customized questionnaire headers or footers or reports.

Click a placeholder and it will be added in your question or screen.

When running the questionnaire this placeholder will be replaced with the image of the active products.

The user can edit the placeholder at the selection step, as shown in the screenshot below. The highlighted field is editable.

For example, if a user wants to display the answer provided by the panelist for the sweetness attribute of product 2, the answer placeholder can be edited as shown in the screenshot below.

If an incorrect placeholder is added, you can remove it and add the correct one.

Depending on where you are in the questionnaire and the type of questionnaire you will see different placeholders.
