How to add logic to your online survey?

Respondents should not have to work through questions that do not apply to them. Logic allows you to create different paths inside Porsline’s online questionnaire builder, based on the answers each person provides.

This video shows how a response can direct someone to a relevant follow-up question, group or End Page.

What You Will Learn About Survey Logic

• Direct respondents to different questions based on an answer.
• Create separate paths for different products or respondent groups.
• Combine conditions with AND and OR operators.
• Define what happens when no specific condition is met.
• Preview each path before activating the survey.

Where Conditional Question Paths Are Useful

Screen Participants in Market Research

A research team may need to confirm that a participant belongs to the target audience before showing the main study questions. In market research surveys, Logic can direct qualified participants to the relevant section while sending other respondents to a suitable conclusion.

Show Department-Specific Employee Questions

An organisation may use one survey for several departments but require different follow-up questions for each team. Within an employee survey solution, Logic can show role-specific or department-specific questions while keeping shared questions available to everyone.

After watching, duplicate a test survey and create one condition with two possible paths. Use Preview to complete both paths and confirm that every answer leads to the intended next question or End Page.
