Conditional Logic
Conditional logic makes a quiz show or hide later questions based on a respondent’s answers, enabling adaptive surveys and assessments tailored to each person.
When to use it
- Skip logic: Skip or reveal related questions when a specific option is chosen.
- Branching surveys: Route different audiences down different question paths.
- Leaner experience: Show only the questions relevant to each respondent, reducing effort.
Conditional logic mainly targets the Assessment type for building adaptive surveys.
Basic concepts
A rule typically consists of:
- Trigger condition: Based on the answer to an earlier question (e.g. “Question 1 selected A”).
- Action: When the condition is met, show or hide a specified question.
How to configure
The following is a general approach; the actual interface may vary.
- Build your questions first and identify which are “trigger” questions and which are the “target” questions being controlled.
- Set a show/hide rule on the target question, choosing the trigger question and its answer as the condition.
- Use preview to walk through different answer paths and confirm the display logic behaves as expected.
Notes
- A trigger condition can only reference questions that come before it, to avoid logic loops.
- Hidden questions are not shown to respondents and are not required.
- For complex logic, preview each path separately to verify.
