Adding Conditional Logic on Questions

• Step 2: Attempt to set a condition on a question using the following guidelines. Once you enter your initial condition, click the 'Add Condition' button to input additional lines of conditions. Alternatively, if you wish to replicate the same condition, click on 'Duplicate,' and the red delete button will allow you to remove any unwanted conditions.

To add a condition to hide a question: 

1. Section: What section has the question that will trigger this question to hide? Select that section.
2. Question Name: What question in the selected section, is the trigger for this question to hide? Select that question.
3. Condition Type: What is the condition of the answer/value that has to be met for the question to be hidden? Select that condition.  Possible conditions are: 
   • Contains – the answer/value contains this value 
   • Starts With - the answer/value starts with this value 
   • Does Not Contain - the answer/value does not contain this value 
   • Is Not Empty - the answer/value is not empty (applicant has answered this question) 
   • Is Empty - the answer/value field is empty (applicant has not answered this question) 
   • Is Exactly – the answer/value must exactly match the value. 
   • Is Less Than - the answer/value is numeric and is less than the value amount 
   • Is Equal To - the answer/value is numeric and is equal to the value amount 
   • Is Greater Than - the answer/value is greater than the value amount 
   • Is Not Equal To - the answer/value is numeric and is not equal to the amount. 
     
     
4. Value: What is the answer or value that the applicant must provide for the question to be hidden? Enter   the value exactly as it is in the question setup. Copy the question values from the 'Value' column of the multiple-option questions.
   
   
5. Operator: Used when entering multiple lines of condition values. Since this is a question conditional logic, the operator here works in reverse; for example, 'And' means either of the conditions can be met, while 'Or' means all of the conditions in the listing need to be met to cause a question to hide. This applies to the row that 'AND/OR' is on and the next condition row following.
   • If you have groups of conditions, it applies to each line in the group, and then on the last line of the group, it indicates how it relates to the next group of condition values.
     
     
6. Grouping: This column organizes your conditions into sets. You may have multiple groups of conditions, where the first group is executed, followed by the second group, and so on. Assign the same number to each condition within a group. The first group is labeled 1, the second group is 2, and so forth.
   
   
7. Duplicate: You can duplicate the question's conditional logic. Click on the 'Duplicate' button next to the question's conditional logic that you want to replicate. A pop-up screen will appear, allowing you to choose how many times you want to duplicate this question's conditional logic (up to 5). Then, simply click on 'Create Duplicate,' and the question's conditional logic will be duplicated. This is a time-saver when you have multiple sets of question conditional logic to add for the same question.
8. Delete: Click on this to delete the question conditional logic.

Examples of entering conditions:

Example 1: You want the question 'Please attach your employment resume' to only appear for applicants who have selected 'Yes' in response to the question: 'Work Experience.' If they selected 'No' or have not answered the question yet, you do not want the question to appear. 

You would enter the condition as follows on the question “Please attach your employment resume”: 

Example 2:  You want the question “Please attach your employment resume” to only appear for applicants that have selected “Yes” to the question: “Work Experience” and on the question “Gender” selected “Male”.  You must enter every possible scenario that it should be hidden for, and group each scenario as a separate group.

Note: When using contains on values that could be included within another word in that question’s values listing, (i.e. Male is part of Female, Other is part of Mother or brother).

• Step 3: After you have entered your conditions information, be sure to select Save to save any conditions you have added. 
• Step 4:  Once you return to the Question data grid listing screen the Add/Edit in Condition column next to your question will now display as green, showing that conditions have been entered on that question.  If it is not showing as green, click “Save” on the Question data grid listing to refresh your information. 

Setting Conditional Logic on Multiple Question

If you have multiple questions in the same section that have the same conditional logic, you can set the logic for all the questions at the same time without having to go in on each separate question to set it.   

Best Practice Tip:  Once a question has logic set on it you will not be able to select it for the multiple selection options.  Therefore, when setting logic on multiple questions, set that multiple logic first.   Then go back in on the individual questions and add the additional conditions that apply only to that single question. 

• Step 1: While in the Question Data Grid Listing, select all the questions you want to enter the logic on, by entering a checkmark in the box next to that question.  
• Step 2: Click the Add Condition(s) button. 

• This will open the Add condition box, notice that it lists at the top of the box all the questions it will be adding that condition to: 
  
  
• Step 3:  Enter the conditions, as you would if it was just for one question, that applies to all the questions, and click the Save and Exit to return to the Question Data Grid listing.  All the questions will now have the condition set on them. 
  • Note: If you need to add additional conditions on just one of the questions that you just updated in the group, you can click on the Add/Edit next to that question and add the additional conditions that apply only to that question.
