Example input
Recruit people who personally reviewed a supplier file in the past 30 days. Ask neutral questions without announcing the qualifying answer.
Completed example
Question 1: When did you last work with a supplier update file? Options: within 7 days; 8–30 days; 31–90 days; more than 90 days; never. Question 2: What did you personally do with that file? Internal review rule: qualify recent responses only when the described role includes review; clarify ambiguous responsibilities instead of guessing.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should a screener tell respondents exactly which answer qualifies them?
Avoid prompting the qualifying response. Ask about real experience and apply the eligibility rule during review.
Why are recruited participants unable to perform the study task?
Check whether the screener measured actual recent behavior or only claimed interest. Match eligibility to the experience the task requires.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
