Showing questions based on an initial question

Hi,

I would like to ask an initial question like: "What department do you belong to? [Finance/ Operation/ development/ manufacturing/ Sales/ etc.]” and then display a question down the road, only if the user is from a "technical” department.

I was planning on solving this by setting a variable to "true/false” based on the initial choice of department and then use this flag to decide if to show a question or not.

But it seems that:

  1. There is no way to set a variable to a value (only add/sub/div/multiply)
  2. No way to make a question dependent on such variable

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tommy

If you are able to use the Advanced Logic tab, you could create a TEXT variable called “technical” and when you ask your question on department, as you describe above, you could use the logic rules to determine what value to put into the variable. Something like this: 

  • if Q1 answer is A or Q1 answer is F (use the appropriate question and response indicators) then Replace variable ‘technical’ (choose from the drop down list) with ‘yes’

then in your branching and calculations you can use the “if technical’ = yes, then jumpto to question Qn otherwise go to next question.. 

that might solve your problem??
