Decipher-specific output

Everything Decipher needs, correctly formatted

Questra knows the Decipher XML schema and Python expression layer — not just generic survey output.

All question types

Radio, checkbox, open-end, matrix, rank, card sort, autosum — all in correct Decipher XML element syntax.

Skip logic & conditions

Routing expressed as Decipher Python eval conditions — exactly as experienced programmers write them.

Answer piping

Pipe expressions using Decipher's native ${Q1.val} and list pipe syntax, not generic placeholders.

Markers & tracking

Respondent variables, markers, and session tracking auto-generated in Decipher's samplesource and marker format.

Block structure

Survey organized into logical blocks — screener, main, thank-you — following Decipher best practices.

Pre-import validation

Questra validates the XML against the Decipher schema before delivery — no import errors.
