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
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.
You cannot apply / set a page break on a question on which you have set up Show/Hide logic.
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.
