Overview

Add several skip rules to one question to branch respondents to different destinations based on their answer — the foundation of a true branching survey.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the question's Logic tab — select the trigger question, click Settings, switch to Logic.

  2. Add the first rule — click + Add Skip Rule and set its condition and destination. The skip logic editor with rules

  3. Add more rules — click + Add Skip Rule again for each additional branch (e.g. "Enterprise" → pricing block, "Individual" → features block).

  4. Order them by priority — rules are evaluated top to bottom and the first match wins. Put the most specific condition first so a broad rule doesn't grab a respondent a narrower rule should have caught.

Tips

Tip: Keep a mental "default" path — the questions a respondent reaches when no rule matches. Test that path too, not just the branches.

Note: Because the first matching rule wins, overlapping conditions can hide later rules. If a branch never seems to fire, check whether an earlier rule is catching those respondents first.
