Logics in Survey Questions

Logic

Overview

The Logic feature makes your surveys smarter by showing respondents only the questions that are relevant to them. Instead of displaying every question to everyone, logic dynamically adapts the survey flow based on responses. This helps reduce survey length, personalize the experience, and improve the overall quality of responses.

Key Use Cases

  • Skip irrelevant questions and reduce survey length
  • Personalize the survey experience based on responses
  • Redirect respondents to different paths or end screens
  • Reuse previous answers to avoid repetition
  • Collect structured feedback for multiple items efficiently

Accessing Logic

You can apply logic directly from the Survey Builder by hovering over a question or section, clicking the Logic icon, and selecting the type of logic you want to apply.

Types of Logic

Display Logic

Display Logic allows you to show or hide questions based on specific conditions. This ensures that only relevant questions are shown to each respondent, improving clarity and reducing unnecessary steps.


Jump Logic

Jump Logic lets you redirect respondents to another question or screen based on their answer. This is useful for skipping sections or ending the survey early for certain responses, making the survey flow more efficient.


Carry Forward Logic

Carry Forward Logic reuses answers from a previous question in a later one. Instead of showing all options again, only the selected responses are carried forward, making the survey more personalized and reducing repetition.


Looping Logic

Looping Logic allows you to repeat a set of questions based on previous answers. It can loop through selected options (e.g., products, brands) or even a numeric value, enabling structured feedback collection without duplicating questions manually.


How Logic Works

Logic is applied based on respondent inputs in real-time. As users answer questions, the survey dynamically updates by showing, hiding, or redirecting them according to defined conditions. This ensures a smooth and relevant survey experience for every respondent.

Key Features

  • Dynamic Question Flow – Show or hide questions based on responses
  • Conditional Navigation – Redirect users to specific questions or end screens
  • Answer Reusability – Carry forward selected responses automatically
  • Looping & Repetition – Repeat sections for multiple selections or numeric inputs
  • Advanced Customization – Combine multiple conditions for complex workflows
  • Pipe Text Support – Insert dynamic values into questions for personalization

Managing Logic

You can easily edit or remove logic by selecting the question or section, opening the Logic settings, and using the available edit or delete options in the survey builder.

Important Notes

  • Logic is applied at the question or section level
  • Works dynamically based on respondent answers
  • Helps reduce survey fatigue and improve completion rates
  • Can range from simple conditions to complex multi-step workflows
