Answer-based rules, also known as answer-based branching, provide a personalized survey experience by allowing you to show or hide questions to participants depending on their answer to a previous question. This article will guide you on how to add and edit these rules.
Adding an answer branching rule
Expand the question you would like to display/hide and click Display Rule.
A modal will appear so you can select when that question will be displayed or hidden.
The rule should be added on the 'child' question (dependent question).
To add an answer-based rule, click Add answer rule
When adding the rule, you can type on the question text field to find your questions.
Note:
You can only add one answer rule per question.
Only, select questions (single and multi-select) can be parent questions.
After adding the parent question you want to branch off from, select the answer(s) to complete the rule.
When creating a rule from a multi-select question, you can select multiple answer values and the rule will work as an "OR".
In the example below, the question "What did you think about the Radical Candor manager training" will only show to participants who answered 'Yes' to the question "Did you attend the Radical Candor manager training?".
You can also add demographic rules if you want to show this question only to a specific demographic group.
In the example below, the question will show ONLY for participants if:
they answer 'Yes' in the question "Did you attend the Radical Candor manager training?"
AND if their demographic Department is either 'Support' OR 'HR'
Upon hitting done, the modal will close and the page will refresh giving you an indication that the rule has been successfully added.
