Introduction.

When you link a document or set conditions in a questionnaire, you may want to set more advanced links. In order to do so you can use the type links manually.

The type manually allow you to reference the relevant answer (e.g. A.1.1) and combines these with operators, e.g. AND, OR in combination with ANY, ALL, NONE.

Open the condition panel by either adding a link or setting conditions for a question, answer or document. Then select the "Type manually"
