Configuring Conditional Logic

Conditions specify conditions under which a question, section, or subsection will appear.  If no conditions are specified, the question, section, or subsection will always appear.

Question Conditions appear on the Conditions tab on the Questions Dialog.  For Sections and SubSections, they appear on the Options tab of their respective Dialogue boxes.

Up to 5 previous answers can be specified as conditions.  All of the specified answers must have been selected for the question to appear. (i.e., “And” logic)

Using the Add New Link, you can get a question to appear if different circumstances (i.e., “Or” logic) by entering multiple condition records for each question.  Each of these records may have “And” logic specified too.

E.g. Answer a and b or answer a and c.

The answer labels are made up of the section number, Subsection number, Question number, Answer number, and Answer Text.  Answers selected can be anywhere previously in the assessment. The ID for an answer can be found by clicking on the ID button while hovering over the answer you wish to make the section/subsection/question conditional on. 

Reporting Tip:

If you're making whole sections and/or subsection conditional, then you may need to also use our functionality to make part of the report conditional on whether there are any score records for a section, subsection or segmentation.  You would include a merge string to specify the conditional part's start and end.  We have a help article with instructions on the set up here:  Conditional Parts of the report
