WSC 5.06 Release Notes

Theme Changes

We have now exposed many of the core elements of the themes as variables. This will allow users to customise themes in a more rapid way.

By changing the individual elements in the custom Theme CSS you can apply the change to all elements that use the style variable.

You can continue to use standard style inheritance to adjust styles and all existing themes will continue to work as previously designed. Inheritance elements are only applicable to Theme2 Themes. Customers using an old Theme1 Theme must continue in their standard style inheritence.

Search Question by Access Code

If you have a large number of pages and utilise Access Codes for your questions, it can sometimes be tricky to find the page containing the question you want to edit. You can now use the Question Access Code search to for a question and jump to the appropriate page.

Once displayed the menu option you can enter the Access Code and go to the appropriate page. The menu will continue to show until toggled to hidden.

Notification Labels

We have made some small adjustments to notification labels for questions. In particular, Question Access Codes are now shown in a Green colour. This will make them more easily identifiable.

We have also adjusted some other messaging for clarity, including showing appropriate messaging if you have translated JavaScript questions when using multiple languages.

Image Map Tooltips

We have always allowed text in tooltips for Image Maps on Choice Questions. You can now include image content tags or choice images for tooltips. These will be displayed when you choose "Show Tooltips" for Map Area Tooltips.

This will allow users to show zoomed images or additional content at the point of the choice selection.

Vimeo Data Piping

The video codes for access to Vimeo videos now have the capability to utilize data piping. This will allow videos to be sources from answers to questions on previous pages. This gives flexibility to clients wanting to display different videos based on answers complex question combinations.

Updated Scripting Guide

The scripting guide has been updated. It includes new methods to make access to scripting easier for those clients with access to scripting.

We have added a range of methods to make scripting tasks easier:-

• findObjectByKey
• findOrdinalByKey
• getFirstSelectedChoice
• getFirstSelectedChoiceValue
• getFirstSelectedMatrixChoice
• getFirstSelectedMatrixChoiceValue
• hideMatrixCell
• hideQuestion
• showMatrixCell
• showQuestion

More information can be found in our Updated Scripting Guide

It is important to note that there have been a number of changes to specific scripting methods.

In particular wscScripting.getValue() for numerics will now return a number OR a NaN value if an invalid number is found.. This should be appropriately tested as a numeric, rather than as a string value.

If you are using tests that compare NUMBERS to STRINGS to check for questions that have been completed you need to change your script
