Step by step implementation of this feature
Additional Information
Sample survey
This section explains what
the "Branch on Range"
is and why you should use it
What: This conditional transition means that the next question
asked to respondents depends on the amount of points scored when
answering survey questions.
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
To add a "Branch on Range" transition to one of the questions
in your survey click [Logic] next to the question
on the 'Edit Questions' page, and then:
- Select logic type Use the ( )'Branch on range'
radio button to apply this logical transition to
the question if allowed.
- Set value for each answer:
In the correspondent text boxes indicate how many points respondents can score for
each answer.
- Click [Save] to save the values you have
indicated.
- Click [Reset] to clear ALL the values you have
indicated.
- Apply 'Branch on Range' to the following question:
The question after which 'Branch on Range' will be used is
indicated below this line.
- Click [Add New] to add a new logic rule for
'Branching on Range'.
- Min Minimum score needed for going over
to the indicated question. If you set the logic rule
as 'Less than' the minimum score is minus infinity.
- Max Maximum score needed for going over
to the indicated question. If you set the logic rule
as 'More than' the maximum score is plus infinity.
- Go to over The question that should
be asked to respondent, whose score is between minimum
and maximum value.
Click [Save] to save your rule.
Click [e] ('Edit' button) to make changes to the logic
rules you have created before.
Click [x] ('Delete' button) to delete corresponding logic
rule.
Click [Reset] to clear ALL logic rules you have created.
[Back] Returns you to the 'Edit Questions' page without
saving changes.
Additional Information:
- You can also use 'Branch on Range' to create so called
'Delayed Branch Logic',
when some questions of the survey depend on answers to
question(s) asked earlier.
- Logic should be the last thing applied to a question.
If you modify
the question in any way, the logic settings will be canceled.
You should keep in mind that when questions allow multiple
answers
('Check all that apply' and 'List box' question types),
points for each answer chosen by respondent will be
summed up. The best way to design logic for these questions
is to apply the following points to the answers:
1-10-100-1000.
- Do not forget that values can be set to the answers
in the questions of the following types:
'Pick One or 'Other'', 'Pick One with 'Comment'',
'Check All That Apply', 'Dropdown Box', 'List Box',
'Rate Different Items Along the Scale of Your Choice',
'Compare one against another'.
In the questions of
the 'Rate Different Items Along the Scale of Your Choice'
type values are set to the scales. You cannot set values
to the default scale.
Values are summed up in each scale separately. If you use
a certain scale several times the values will be equal.
- In the questions of the 'Compare one against another'
type if you select a certain
answer several times its values are summed up.
- Keep in mind that if you need to change
values in the question with 'Branch on range' applied you
should do it in the last question with this feature.
If you change the values in the
previous questions then the values in the questions that
follow will be nulled.
- You can use both positive and negative numbers.
- Tip: If you use 'Branch on Range' in
an Examination type survey
(where you have both right and wrong answers)
and you want to apply it to questions that allow multiple
answers ('Check all that apply' and 'List box'
question types) it is recommended that
the sum total of right answers for this question should
be equal to the sum total of wrong answers for this question
with negative sign. For example:
'Which are the colors of the USA national flag?'
| Answers:
|
Points:
|
| Red

2

| Green
|
-3
|
| Blue

| Yellow
|

| White

In this case if a respondent chooses all correct answers
he or she will score 6 points, otherwise he or she will
have a lesser score.
- You must set logic rules for going to the next question for
all possible scores.
All the values indicated in logic rules should be different
- extremities of interval are included when
'Branching on Range'.
For example, if you want to divide all the respondents on
three groups - those who scored from 5 to 10 points, those
who scored less and those who scored
more - you should create three logic rules:
- If total score is 'less than 4' go to question X.
- If total score is 'between 5 and 10' go to question Y.
- If total score is 'more than 11' go to question Z.
