Sample survey
This conditional transition means that the next question asked to respondents depends on the amount of points scored when answering survey questions.
You can apply this transition to any question in your survey providing it is followed by more than one question.
To add a "Branch on Range" transition to one of the questions in your survey click the Logic button next to the question on the 'Edit Questions' page, and then:
- Select logic type Use the 'Branch on range' option 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. You can assign whole numbers and decimal numbers with up to five decimal places.
Click Save to save the values you have indicated.
Click Reset to reset ALL entered values to '0'.
- Apply 'Branch on Range' to the following question:
The question after which 'Branch on Range' will be used is indicated below this line.
- Click the Add New button to add new logic rule based on which respondents will be redirected further.
- 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 displayed to respondent, whose score is between minimum and maximum value.

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 |
2 |
| Yellow |
-3 |
| White |
2 |
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.
