To make your Results Page as personal as possible, you can reuse customer answers or quiz inputs on your Results Page so the recommendations feel more tailored and increase engagement and conversion.
You can achieve this using Property IDs, which are variables that store the answer or input from any Lantern question and store it in this Property ID that you can set in the right hand side menu of any quiz page. Once the quiz taker makes a selection or enters a value, you can reuse it in follow-up questions and in any text that comes next in the quiz, including on the Results Page.
To display answers on the Results Page, make sure the questions you want to reference have Property IDs set and wrap it in double curly braces, like so {{ first_name }}.
Some answers in your quiz can be harder to reuse naturally in a sentence. For example, in the question below “Anything is fine” can be hard to reuse in a sentence and this is why under each answer you have special Assigned Values.
In cases like this the assigned value will replace the answer “Anything is fine” whenever it is selected with what you inputed in the quiz editor. This is not visible in the live quiz but only in the quiz editor.
You can use assigned values to replace an answer with wording that reads more naturally when reused in text.
To learn how to set up assigned values, check our assigned values section of this article.
For using Property IDs throughout the quiz, check our article “How to use customer answers in Lantern quizzes.”
How to manipulate the value stored in a Property ID
To help you further refine how you can use this information, we've added a range of text manipulation functions:
Capitalize - Turns the first letter of a word into uppercase.
◦ Input: james
◦ Output:
Hi {{ first_name | capitalize }}, nice to meet you!◦ Result: Hi James, nice to meet you!
Lowercase - Turns all letters into lowercase.
◦ Input: JaMeS
◦ Output:
Hi {{ first_name | lowercase }}, how's your day?◦ Result: Hi james, how's your day?
Uppercase - Transforms all letters into uppercase.
◦ Input: JaMeS
◦ Output:
Hi {{ first_name | uppercase }}, shoutout to you!◦ Result: Hi JAMES, shoutout to you!
Trim Functions - Remove unwanted spaces:
◦ Trim: Strips spaces from both start and end.
▪ Input: "[space]James[space]"▪ Result:
{{ first_name | trim }}becomes “James” with no spaces◦ TrimEnd: Removes spaces only from the end.
▪ Input: "James[space]"
▪ Result:
{{ first_name | trimEnd }}becomes “James” with no spaces◦ TrimStart: Eradicates spaces just from the start.
▪ Input: "[space]James"
▪ Result:
{{ first_name | trimStart }}becomes “James” with no spacesDefault - As covered, it provides a default value. The syntax is:
{{ property_name | default: "Your Default Value" }}In many quizzes, certain information, like a first name, is optional. In those cases, you can set a default value to display instead. For example:
Your cat, {{ cat_name | default: "the cute fearless feline" }}, deserves the best food!
If the quiz taker leaves the cat’s name blank, Lantern will use your default text instead, so the live preview shows “Your cat, the cute fearless feline, deserves the best food!”
Replace: This function allows you to replace specific strings or characters within your captured data. For instance, if you want to replace the input "a" with the input "b", you'd use it as shown below:
{{ input_data | replace: "answer or input", "replaced value" }}The
replacefilter is useful when you want to reuse an answer but adjust one specific value so it reads better in a sentence.For example, imagine a question like “What is your pet’s favorite type of food?” with answers such as “Chicken”, “Fish”, and “Anything is fine”, stored under the Property ID
favorite_food.Later in the quiz, you might want to reuse this answer in a sentence like:
We noted your pet’s favorite food is {{ favorite_food }}, and used it to choose the best recommendations.
This works nicely for “Chicken” or “Fish”, but “Anything is fine” may feel a bit awkward in that sentence. You can usereplaceto swap that one specific answer with friendlier wording:
We noted your pet’s favorite food, {{ favorite_food | replace: "Anything is fine", "pretty much anything" }}, and used it to choose the best recommendations!.
With this setup, “Chicken” and “Fish” will display as they are. If the customer chooses “Anything is fine”, the sentence will display “pretty much anything”, which reads more naturally.
Chaining Functions
To take your customization up a notch, you can chain these functions using standard liquid syntax. Here’s how:
Hi {{ first_name | trim | capitalize | default: "friend" }}, how are you?
By applying this, if someone had entered their name, " james ", with a lower case and a space in front, it would be important to make sure we remove any spaces first with trim, then capitalize the name. No matter what they input they would be addressed as "Hi James, how are you?". If they hadn't entered a name at all, it would display "Hi friend, how are you?"
Where you can use customer answers on the Results Page
You can reuse customer answers in any text field on the Results Page, including:
Headline and Sub-headline at the top of the page
Dynamic Content Blocks for more targeted routines or explanations
Using Property IDs in the Results Page Headline and Subheadline
In this example, the quiz asks for the quiz taker’s first name, the type of pet they have, the pet’s name, the pet’s age, the type of food the pet prefers, and any dietary needs. Each of these questions has a Property ID set.
Headline example
Hi {{ first_name | default: "fellow pet owner" }}, here’s a personalized nutrition plan for your {{ pet_age }} {{ pet_type | lowercase }}, {{ pet_name }}
Sub-headline example
You told us {{ pet_name }} prefers {{ favorite_food }}, and regarding dietary needs you mentioned {{ dietary_needs | default: "balanced nutrition" }}. Since {{ pet_name }} is a {{ pet_age | lowercase }} {{ pet_type | lowercase }}, we focused on formulas that support steady energy.
If you prefer to capture the quiz taker’s first name on the email (opt-in) page instead of with a separate input question, you can reuse that name on the Results Page with a built-in Property ID in Lantern: {{ SPECIALNAME }}.
For example:
Hi {{ SPECIALNAME }}, here are your best matches.This works in:
The Results Page headline and sub-headline
Dynamic Content Blocks on the Results Page
Important: If the first name field on the opt-in page is optional and the quiz taker skips it, using {{ SPECIALNAME }} on its own will show undefined. To avoid that, use a default value so the Results Page still reads naturally when the field is blank.
Example with the opt-in first name ({{ SPECIALNAME }})
Hi {{ SPECIALNAME | default: "Friend" }}, here are your results.
Using Property IDs in the Dynamic Content Blocks
Dynamic Content Blocks let you show different text on the Results Page based on customer answers. This makes it easier to write more targeted copy for specific quiz takers, compared to the Headline and Sub-headline where the text should still read well across many combinations of answers.
In this example, we’ll create two variants based on if the quiz taker selects the answer cat or dog. Each variant can use the same Property IDs, but the wording can be tailored to that specific pet type.
If you’re new to Dynamic Content Blocks, check out our dedicated guide for more details on how they work.
Testing your setup
Hi {{ first_name | trim | capitalize | default: "Friend" }}, here are your matches.Before publishing, always:
Take the quiz a few times using different test inputs.
Check that:
Names and other answers show correctly on the Results Page.
Fallbacks (like
"Friend") work when fields are left blank.Any Dynamic Content Block variants that reference answers are displaying expected text.
Fix typos in Property IDs (they must match exactly) if anything isn’t appearing.

With these patterns in place, you can turn your Results Page into a more personalized, conversational experience that feels tailored to each quiz taker.
