Adding Page Numbers to Your Paper Survey
Help Center Form design • Last updated: 12 August, 2025To include page numbers in your survey, you can take advantage of the page number shortcode, which allows you to insert dynamically changing page numbers at the bottom right of each page. Here's how you can use this feature:
Insert Shortcodes in the Footer Area: You can add the following shortcodes in the footer area of your survey to display page numbers:
[currentpage]
: This shortcode shows the current page number.[lastpage]
: This shortcode displays the last page number.
For example, you can use these shortcodes to create text that dynamically updates, such as "This is page 1 of 5" (by using "This is a page [currentpage] of [lastpage]").
Custom Text on Specific Pages: If you want to display specific text on a particular page only, you can utilize the
[page=PAGE]My text[/page]
shortcode. Replace "PAGE" with the desired page number where you want "My text" to be displayed. You may want to place this in Footer area of the survey.
