What is Compound / Delayed Branching Logic?

With simple branching you cannot set up logic based on responses to multiple questions. Also with Simple Branching the logic is executed immediately.

Compound Branching: With help of Compound Logic you can set up branching based on responses to multiple questions in the Survey.

Delayed Branching: With Delayed Branching you can set up Branching Logic based on a Question which was asked much earlier in the Survey.

Consider this example:

Q1: Gender
Q2: Age
Q3: General question to be answered by everybody
Q4: General question to be answered by everybody
Q5: General question to be answered by everybody

Now after Q5 respondents should branch to different questions based on their selection in Q1 AND Q2

Q6: To be answered only by respondents who selected Gender=Male and Age=18 & above
Q7: To be answered only by respondents who selected Gender=Male and Age=18 & above

Now all respondents should again answer rest of the questions.

Q8: General question for all respondents
Q9: General questions for all respondents.

Steps for setting this up:

• First set up all the questions in the survey.
• Now since the logic should be executed after Q5, click on the Add/Update Logic link for Q5. Go to:
