Lee,
This would be a better question for our forums. However, you would set Q1 answers to only show Q2, and the answers/options in Q2 to trigger Q3. Therefore, Q2 and Q3 are set as ‘hidden unless shown by a show/hide trigger’, and then Q1 and Q2 are set with show/hide triggers within their particular options. 1 shows 2, 2 shows 3.

How do I do nested Show/Hide questions?

Here’s a simple shorthand example to illustrate:

Q1: Do you use paper or software or both?
Q2: What kind of software do use, boxed or custom?
Q3: What is the name of the software?

I would like to combine all of this into one question, but don’t see the capability to do that at our Personal level. (If I’m please correct me.)

As such, I’m trying to structure it so that Q2 and Q3 are only seen if “software” or “both” is selected for Q1.

And, of course, I only want to show Q3 if “boxed” is selected.

I’ve tried the various options, and the result has been that once I set a trigger on Q1, if that answer is “software” or “both,” Q2 and Q3 are shown immediately.

Thanks for your help–

Lee

Hi.

The Show/Hide logic is only available for Pro and Enterprise level accounts. That’s why you don’t have that feature available in your free account.

Hi Surveygismo-Team,

I have the free version and when trying to do “Step 2: Choose a â€œtriggerâ€ question” I noticed that the option SHOW/ HIDE TRiGGERS is not offered. Am I doing it right or do I missed to do another step beforehand?

Thanks.

Hi, Karen.

The Show/When logic is available for the Pro and Enterprise level accounts. It is not included in the Personal Plan.

Shawn,
You can add another question, hiding the question number, below this pull-down menu. You can then follow this tutorial to show/hide based on them choosing OTHER in your dropdown box and then a textbox for their option will appear.

Julia,
That’s correct, we trigger based on someone answering a question when part of a table, not based on the specific column and row. That feature may become available soon, but is still being built and tested, so no timeline is available. The easiest workaround is to place your radio button question on its own and then trigger based upon each individual answer.

I am also having trouble with logic in a table. I have yes/no radio boxes in a column, and want to jump to different pages based on what each row is checked. It seems like it should be easy to specify, but I can only set the trigger value to the ‘answer’ to the entire question (which, again, is a table full of individual questions).

Any help would be appreciated.
