How skip logic works
...
Skip logic on Makerble is triggered by a respondent’s answer to the previous question and only when the previous question is a multiple choice question.
I.e. skipping happens or doesn’t happen on the respondent’s answer to the previous question.
...
Skipping only happens in the forward direction
...
You can add Jump To (skip logic) to your surveys on Makerble.
This is an alternative to Hide Unless skip logic
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

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)
