Conditional logic
Go To and Skip
Jump to a destination or leave out a question.
Go To chooses the next destination. Skip leaves out a target question while the respondent continues through the flow. Choose the action based on what should happen to the questions between the decision and the destination.
| Need | Action | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Bypass a whole run of questions | Go To | Someone who did not attend goes directly to general feedback |
| Omit one irrelevant question | Skip | Someone who did not use the workbook skips its rating |
| End a route early | Go To → End | Someone declines to give feedback |
| Assign different survey versions | Split | Compare introduction A with introduction B |
Example: only attendees rate the workshop
Arrange three questions in this order: “Did you attend?”, “How was the workshop?” and “What would you like us to offer next?” The final question is useful to everyone.
Select the decision point
Select “Did you attend?” and open Advanced → Conditional Logic.Check the answer
Add a condition: the attendance question is → No.Choose the destination
Set the action to Go To and choose “What would you like us to offer next?”. A Yes answer uses the normal route through the workshop rating.Preview both answers
Check that No bypasses the rating, while Yes sees it. Both should still reach the final question.A Go To route bypasses every intervening node. If you later insert a question between the source and destination, people taking the jump will bypass that new question too. Review your routes after reorganising the survey.
Use Skip for a targeted omission
For the same three-question example, a Skip rule targeting the workshop rating can leave that question out when attendance is No. A Skip rule has one target; use separate rules for separate targets. Keep the normal route intact for answers that do not match.
A matching Skip allows evaluation to continue. A matching Go To or Split selects a destination and stops checking later rules at that decision point. Avoid overlapping rules whose outcome depends on an order you have not tested.
Destinations and rejoining
Go To must move forward
Choose a later question, content block, section or End. To enter a section, target the section itself; Go To cannot target a question inside it.
After a Split, the normal sequence can still lead from Version A into Version B. Add a Go To at the end of A to reach the shared follow-up or End. A split by itself does not keep all later questions on the two routes separate.
