To add "a question within a question" which, in a paper survey, would read as "If you answered “yes” to question 1, answer question 2...", etc.
Eval&GO offers a simpler and more efficient way to create this type of logic: Branching.
The branching allows the user to configure the questions or pages displayed according to the previous answers on the previous page or pages. This provides a lot of fluidity when answering a questionnaire because only questions relevant to the respondent are displayed.
Eval & GO allows 2 different branching methods :
Hide/Show (same page or between pages) and Branching (basic or advanced mode)
Important: It is essential to finish setting up your questionnaire before creating conditionals. Modifying the questions (duplicating the questions, changing the order of the questions) could cause your conditionals to malfunction.
This option allows you to show or hide a question on the current page based on the answer to the previous question on the same page.
To do this :
Example :
Question 1 : Are you satisfied ? Answers : Yes / NO
Question 2 : What are the reasons of you satisfaction ?
Question 3 : Why are you unsatisfied ?
In such case, your logic must be configured from the first question.
Click on “Add”.
If “YES”, then select “question 2”.
If “NO”, then select “question 3”.
Question 2 and 3 are automatically hidden. They are displayed only when“YES” or “NO” are chosen.
This option allows you to show or hide a question on the current page based on the answer to the previous question on previous pages.
Note that this type of logic is only possible if you have several pages in your survey
To do this :
Example :
Page 1 - Question 1 : Do you know our products ? Answers : Yes / NO
Page 2 - Question 2 : How would you rate our products ?
Page 2 - Question 3 : Do you want to know more about our products ?
In such case, logics need to be setup from questions 2 and 3.
From question 2 :
If question 1 is equal to “YES” => SHOW
From question 3 :
If question 1 is equal to “NO” => SHOW
Questions 2 and 3 are automatically hidden. They are only displayed if these conditions are met.
Basic mode allows you to redirect respondents from one page to another based on their answers to a single question or simply when a respondent has completed a particular survey page.
Note that to use Branching, your survey must contain at least 2 pages
To do this :
Example :
Page 1 : What is your gender ? Answers : Woman / Man
Page 2 : Questions for women
Page 3 : Questions for men
In such case, your branching need to be configured from question 1 (page 1) and from page 2 :
From question 1 (page 1)
For “Man”, select “page 3”
From page 2
Select "End" from the drop-down menu on the right of page 2.
In this way, women only answer page 2 and not page 3.
It is not necessary to redirect women from pages 1 to 2. Indeed, this is the next logical step on the previous page.
Advanced mode allows you to build one or more groups of criteria based on respondent answers. Advanced redirection can include several logic rules and/or conditions.
To do this :
Tip: Your logic can be based on a group of several conditions or on a single one. You can configure as many logical rules per page as you wish.
If you add both Advanced and Basic rules to a page, advanced logic has priority.
Example :
Page 1 : What is your gender ? Answers : Woman / Man
Page 2 : Do you know our products ? Answers : Yes / NO
Page 3 : Presentation of women products
Page 4 : Presentation of men products
In this case, branchings need to be configured from page 2 and page 3
On page 2, branching is :
If question 1 is equal to “MAN” AND if question 2 is equal to “NO” => page 4
On page 3, branching is :
If question 1 is equal to “Man” => END (to make women only answer page 3 and not page 4)
Note that it is not necessary to redirecting women from page 2 to page 3 because this is a logical step in the survey.
In this example, a branching in basic mode is also necessary to redirect your respondents from page 2 to the end if “NO” is chosen in page 2.
