Which page's browser information is recorded in metadata variable UserAgent?

Question

It is said I can add UserAgent in the survey flow to record the agent's browser and device information. I wonder if the agent using different device and different browsers in different pages of the survey. Which page's browser information is recorded in UserAgent? I added UserAgent in the beginning of the survey flow before the first page of my survey is shown. Is the answer depending on where I add UserAgent as embedded data in the survey flow?

Hi Pei_2009 ,Yes, the position of the UserAgentembedded data in survey flow does matter.Let say you have two blocks block 1 and block 2 and you have placed the UserAgent variable between the two blocks.In this case, if respondent starts the survey with chrome and changes the browser to Mozilla before completing the block 1 questions and continues using Mozilla for the rest of the survey then in the UserAgentyou will have Mozilla as a browser instead of chrome.

SaurabhPujare_Ugam Thanks so much for your answer. One quick follow-up question. I did not add UserAgent in the survey flow when I collected the data. I added UserAgent after the data is already collected. In this situation, does the position of the UserAgent embedded data in survey flow still matter?
