Dynamic Question Set

A dynamic question set allows you to add logic to your answers based on responses to other questions.

You can incorporate this logic into your question set through the Project Creation Wizard (PCW) and Question set management. Below are the steps:

1. Click Manage question logic icon located in the right bottom corner\

   
2. Choose whether a question will need question logic or not

   1. ALWAYS SHOW indicates that the question does not depend on any prerequisites and will always be displayed

   2. IF indicates that the question has specific requirements that must be met before it becomes visible\

      

Rule Details

Comparison Rule

Each question type has unique comparison rules.

• Text, Textarea, URL, Dropdown, and Hierarchical dropdown offer various rules, including:

  • IS: Checks if the answer has exact matches

  • IS ANSWERED: Checks if the answer has a response

  • CONTAINS: Checks if the answer contains specific keyword

  • Additionally, Text and Textarea also offer:

    • STARTS WITH: Checks if the input begins with a specific text

    • ENDS WITH: Checks if the input ends with a specific text

CONTAINS Behaviors

The key points of CONTAINS logic are

1. Single answer: Check whether the logic is a substring of the answer. For example, run is a substring of running

2. Multiple answers: Check whether the answer exactly matches the logic. For example, run is exactly match with run
