How to hide a survey question depending on the answer of a previous question
How to hide a survey question depending on the answer of a previous question

Using survey logic allows you to hide or show survey questions depending on the previous answers.

  1. Create your survey 

  2. Create the question for which the answer will determine whether to hide or show the next question

  3. Click Save Changes

   4. Create the question you would like to be hidden or shown
   5. Click Save Changes

For this tutorial, we are going to show the second question only if the answer of the first question is Yes

There are 2 ways of doing that:

Always hide the 2nd question unless the answer to the first is Yes

6a) Click on the Eye icon on the right of the SECOND question to hide it

6b) Click on the Logic icon of the FIRST question

The Survey Logic window will open

6c) Click on Create Logic to the right

6d) Configure the Survey Logic 

   ● Set the Logic Type to Question
   ●
Select the Question from the dropdown
​   Set the Condition to Is
   ●
Set the Value to Yes
   ●
Set the Do dropdown to be Show
   ●
Select the question to show in the Do dropdown to be Show
   ●
Set the Activate Logic to Yes

Note: You can apply this logic on more than one question by checking other questions in the The Following Question(s)  list.

6e) Click Save  


The second way to accomplish this is to hide the second question if the answer to the first question is No

7a) Click on the Logic icon of the FIRST question

The Survey Logic window will open.

 7b) Click on Create Logic to the right

7c) Configure the Survey Logic 

   ● Set the Logic Type to Question  
   ●
Select the Question from the dropdown
​   Set the Condition to Is
   ●
Set the Value to No
   ●
Set the Do dropdown to be Hide
   ●
Select the question to hide in the Do dropdown to be Show
   ●
Set the Activate Logic to Yes

Note: You can apply this logic on more that one question by checking other questions in the The Following Questions(s)  list.

7d) Click Save  


IMPORTANT: Although the second method seems simpler, it should only be used if there is only one answer that will be showing/hiding the question.

For example, if you had a first question where the answers were:
   ● Yes
   ● No
   ● Not at all
   ● Absolutely not

If you wanted to only show the second question, by using the first method you would only need to apply one survey logic on the "Yes" answer, whereas with the second method, you  would need to hide the second answer with every negative answer, (which means doing three survey logic rules here).
