You can add skip logic to your surveys on Makerble.

How it works

  • Any multiple choice question can be a routing question, i.e. a question from which skip logic is applied

  • Any question or section that appears further down in the survey can be a destination, i.e. a place that a respondent arrives after having answered a routing question

  • In the absence of respondents being skipped forwards, they will continue to ‘descend’ through the survey under ‘gravity’ by answering one question after the next

Info

Key considerations

  • Respondents cannot skip backwards

  • A routing question can only be used to skip a respondent once. You cannot base future routing on a previous skip condition.

Key principles

  • In the absence of skip logic, the respondent will continue the natural order of questions under ‘gravity’.

    • In Question 1 if the respondent chooses Red, they naturally progress to Question 2

    • If in Question 2 the respondent chooses None of these, they naturally progress to Question 3

  • You can set different answer choices to skip forward to different destinations (see Question 7 in the example)

  • You can set every answer choice within a single question to cause the respondent to skip forwards (see Question 8 in the example)
