I’ve set up some questions in the Hospital Privileges survey to display only if particular answers are marked in a previous question. It works for questions 7 and 8 on page 6.

However, when answering question 10 on page 8, the page logic or the question hiding doesn’t work. Regardless of how you answer, you are taken to page 10.

I think I’ve done the logic correctly, but maybe I missed something. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, I figured out the question hiding bit. I was checking the option to hide the question unless a show/hide trigger was selected, and I was also indicating which previous question and answer should be given to show the current one.

Ah, that makes sense.

Would you still like me to take a look?

I’ve another issue you could look at. When a user answers “no” to question 1, I had to redirect them to a separate faux ‘thank you’ page. I had originally wanted the page logic to send the user to the actual thank you page at the end of the survey, but when testing, one would be taken to a blank page instead. Using the faux page works, but the response is recorded as ‘partial’, instead of ’submitted’. Any way to force the system to identify it as a ’submitted’ response? Technically, the user has completed the survey if they answer ‘no’ to question 1.

Thanks,

Hi Omar,
You should be able to page jump to the Thank You page. This will mark the response as submitted.

You can also use show/when logic to display a different thank you message for someone that gets to the Thank You page in this way.

If you’re having troubling using the simple page jumping logic (the little gear icon). You can use the logic action. The simple logic tends to get confused if you’re using other types of logic in the survey like page piping.

You can create a logic action by clicking on “Add Action”->Page Jump Logic. Then add a new rule, set question 1 = ‘No’, and action type: Page Jump to the page number of the Thank You page.

Hope this helps,
Chad

Neither option worked. I tried adding the page logic action and had it redirect the survey to P11, 11, p[11] (and other combinations), but it jumps to page 2 instead. When using the simple page logic, I get a blank survey page.

Hi Omar,
Looks like you set up a redirect from page 2. Good idea.

I got the simple page logic to jump to the Thank You Page, by selecting page 5.

Jump logic isn’t a good type of logic to be using with page piping.

The reason for this is that the survey doesn’t consider the piped pages to exist until they are triggered by the logic. Because a page can either not exist (no option was selected) or be duplicated x number of times (for x number of options).

I would actually recommend Show/When logic to hide the piped page (and therefore all it’s duplicates).

Hope this helps,
Chad

The page I want the ‘no’ response to jump to isn’t piped. So, technically, it should exist. I can’t use show/when logic because the page I’m now jumping to (page 11) needs to appear for both instances, not just one. Answering no to the first question should skip the rest of the survey and jump to page 11, but all I get is a blank survey page with no question. The border and everything is there, but no text or buttons to move forward. I would like to get rid of page 2 and 3 if possible so that even the question 1 ‘no’ responses are considered completed.

Hi Omar,
It’s not that the Thank You page doesn’t exist, it’s the five piped pages inbetween the Thank You page and the first page do not exist so the survey doesn’t count them when it jumps.

In other words, when the survey starts it only thinks there are 6 pages in the survey so when you tell it to jump to page 11, it says it can’t find page 11 because there are only 6 in the survey. That’s why you need to tell it to jump to page 4 (the page just before the Thank You page).

So if you remove pages 2 and 3 (the disqualifing pages) you will need to change the logic to jump to page 3 to get to the Thank You page.

This is why the gear logic is considered simple page jumping.

The page logic action should take you to the Thank You page as long as you set it up as P[12]. Please let us know if this isn’t working.

The best option is to set up simple show when logic on each page between the first page and the Thank You page to only show those pages question 1 equals ‘Yes’. To the survey taker this wil effectively “jump” them to the Thank You page if they answer “No”.

Hope this helps,
Chad
