Branching gives you the ability to create "intelligent" surveys. You can jump to a specified question based on responses to previous questions.

For example, consider the survey below:

In the above given scenario Q2 about Car brands should be asked only for respondents who select Gender as Male. For Respondents who select Gender as Female, Q3 about Cosmetics brand should be asked. To achieve this set up the Branching as follows:

• Click on the Add/Update Logic link for the first question Q1.

  Select the Branching/Skip Logic option

• In the Popup Window select the correct question for branching for each response and click on Update Branching Information.

• This will setup the branching for the first question. Now for the Survey to follow the correct path after branching you also need to set up branching for Q2 and Q3 to a follow up question or a common question where the Survey should converge and the Branching path is completed. In the above scenario set up the default branching for Q2 (Car brands) and Q3 (Cosmetics brands) to Q4 (Age). This will complete the branching.

When respondents take the survey; if they select Gender as Male then they will be branched to Q2 (Car brands). Since Q2 is branched to Q4 the survey will jump directly to Q4 (Age) skipping the question Q3 (Cosmetics brands). If respondents select Gender as Female then the Survey will branch directly to Q3 (Cosmetics brand) skipping Q2 (Car brands) and from there branch to Q4 (Age).

Can the branching condition be delayed? or can branching be setup based on responses to multiple questions?

Custom Programming is required to setup such branching. Custom Programming option is available only with our Enterprise Licenses. Please contact Technical Support/Sales for more information.

What are the different Branching options?

• Question Codes You can select the question code to setup branching to that question.
• Terminate Survey Use this option to branch respondents to the Terminate page. The Survey will terminate if respondents select this option.
• Goto Thank You Page When you use this option the respondents will be directly branched to the Thank You page at the end of the Survey. The response will be considered as a Completed Response.
• Chain Survey Use this option for Survey Chaining (This option is available only with the Corporate license)

What is default destination branching?

If you want all No Branching options to branch to a particular question then you can set that question in the Default Destination options. This will then be setup as the Default Branching option.
