Show/Hide Logic based on Custom Criteria

What is the Show/Hide Logic?

In cases where you want to display (or not) a question depending upon a complex (or simple) criteria, you can use the Show/Hide Logic instead of Branching/Skip Logic to accomplish this.

Important Items to remember

  1. You must have a page break between the source logic questions and the question you want to show/hide. The system should be able to collect the data and then make a logic decision (to show/or hide) for a particular question.
  2. You cannot apply / set a page break on a question on which you have set up Show/Hide logic.
  3. Show/Hide Logic will not work on the last question on a page.

Example:

Consider a Survey:

   Question A
   Question B
   Question C
   Question D
 
Now consider this scenario: Question C should only be displayed if Yes is selected in Question A.

Steps for setting this up:

Before setting up the logic, set up all the questions in the survey.
Since the logic should be executed on Question C - Q3 in this case, click on the Logic button for this question:
  • Login »  Surveys »  (Select Survey) »  Edit Survey »  Add/Edit Questions »  Fly Out Menu »  Logic
Under Logic Types, select the Show / Hide Question Logic option.
