Hide questions in a survey using Hide Unless skip logic

You can hide questions in a survey using Hide Unless skip logic.

Why use it

Hide Unless Skip Logic is useful when you have questions that should only be answered when specific answers are provided or some conditions are met to some previous questions. So, now completing the survey will become very easy for your contacts and survey respondents.

For example,

  • if there are 100 questions in a survey

  • and question number 10 is: what is your Employment Status Unemployed or Employed.

  • Imagine that in the survey,

    • the questions 21, 42 and 63 only apply to people who are Unemployed

    • but questions 14, 18 and 99 only apply to people who are Employed,

  • Hide Unless enable you to

    • designate questions 21, 42 and 63 to be Hidden UNLESS the answer to question 10 is Unemployed

    • designate questions 14, 18 and 99 to be Hidden UNLESS the answer to Question 10 is Employed.
