This section explains what the "Delayed Branch Logic" is and why you should use it

What: One more way of using 'Branch on Range' is creating so called 'Delayed Branch Logic'. It means that at some point questions of the survey depend on answers to question(s) asked earlier.

Why: You can apply this transition to any question in your survey providing it is followed by more than one question.

We are about to show you step by step how to implement this feature

For example, you survey should consist of three blocks:

  1. At first you collect some general information including respondent's status;
  2. In the second block you place questions meant for all the respondents;
  3. The third block consists of questions which depend on respondent's status.

So in this case you should apply "Branch on Range" to the last question of the second block and do the following:

  1. Assign different point numbers to each answer choice of question asking for respondent's status.
    • Note: The type of this question must allow scoring points ('Pick One with Other Option', 'Check All That Apply', 'Dropdown Box', 'List Box', 'Rate Different Items Along the Scale of Your Choice', 'Compare one against another').
  2. Set logic rules for going over to next question to each score.
  3. Apply 'Skip Logic' to questions in the third block if needed.
