You can pass in additional information
into your survey by using custom

Custom variables are special variables
that are used to store additional
information that will be passed to the

they are stored with the Respondents

3. QUICK CUSTOM MAPPING
We’ve made it easier to update and map custom variables to names/values to be used for piping, logic,
raw data, and data segmentation!
• Enter one variable mapping per line.
• Each custom variable can be mapped to only one value.
• Display Name should be unique.
• Code must be unique and should not contain any special characters including 'space'. It is an optional
field.
• First column is custom variable number. For example '3' for 'custom3'.
