Logic update FAQs
Here are the top seven questions regarding the logic update:
- What will happen to my survey logic in my existing surveys?
It is still there! Existing logic is ready for you to review and update if needed. Nothing has disappeared and will work as usual.
- What if I need to update an existing survey’s logic?
You can update the existing logic within a survey. The way you update it will change with the new UI.
- Can I copy the surveys with logic and reuse it for a different project?
Yes, you can copy the survey with logic intact. In the past, logic had to be rebuilt. However, like with any good quality control protocol, you will want to extensively test the copied survey before launching your next survey project.
- I just took over a survey project and need to see what logic is included. Where can I access this to review?
If you are taking over a survey project and would like to familiarize yourself with the logic applied, then use the ‘Tools’ button on the top right hand of the workspace to change the view to ‘compact view’ to see the entire workflow on one page. Within the tools, you can also manage and logic criteria, view a logic flow chart, test for broken logic, and randomize blocks of your survey.
- Can I apply more than one kind of logic to a question?
It depends on the survey question and the type of logic that you apply to the survey. For example, It is possible to apply show/hide questions with show/hide answers with extensive logic criteria. A good rule of thumb is that there are more survey logic capabilities with basic question types than with advanced questions. However, we do support extensive logic options on matrix tables, NPS questions, and more. The best thing is to test the question templates and determine if you may need to use a different one to achieve your goals.
- How can I test my logic to make sure it works properly?
There are three ways to test the logic in your survey. Two of them are manual and one of them is automated.
- Question preview – Preview the question where you have applied the criteria or survey logic. Located within the question template.
- Preview survey – Located at the top right hand of the workspace.
- Access Tools > click on ‘Validate branching logic.’ It checks all of the logic and identifies any question coding issues.
- Do you have help files or resources to follow along?
Absolutely! If you are not familiar with our newly revamped help center, you can access it here. This includes all updated help files for you to follow along for any kind of logic type we offer.
