[edit] Block Options

When ever you click on a question, it brings up a menu of options on the right hand side. These options allow you to add further dimensions to your survey. This section is an overview - most of their functionality will be covered as they are referenced in other sections.

[edit] Toggle block preview/outline mode

If you click on this button it will toggle your view of the questions within a block to a preview mode where the questions appear in a similar form to how they will appear in the survey, and an outline mode that is more simplified.

Note that if more than 15 questions are added to a single block that the questions appear differently when not selected, and the toggle button no longer functions.

[edit] Block title

On the top left hand side of each block there is a block title with a small triangle. If you click on the text you can edit the block title. By clicking on the triangle you can hide or unhide all of the questions in that block.

[edit] Add Page Break

If you haven‘t chosen a survey skin that allows only one question per screen, your survey questions will, as a default, be displayed together on one page. Clicking on this button will place a page break directly after the question that you have selected. The page break will be the length of a question with no text on it. The same add question, delete, and move icons that appear on questions will appear on the page break when ever you hover over it with your mouse. Note: Sometimes a page break is required for certain functions to work. One of these is the "Qualtrics Smart Text" or "Piped Text" function, if the piped text refers to an answer in a previous question. In this case, a page break must be inserted between the question from which you are piping and the question to which the text is piped.

Note: Page breaks can occur automatically when other functions in the system are used. Page breaks will automatically occur:

1. At the transition between question blocks.
2. After any question with skip-logic

[edit] Add Skip Logic

This is one of the simplest ways to customize a survey. Skip Logic works within question blocks to skip respondents past a question or questions based on their answer to the question immediately preceding the question(s) to be skipped.

• Click on the question which determines what other questions will be skipped. The skip logic will appear directly under the selected question for editing. There are 3 drop down boxes "If", "Is", and "Then Skip To". Click on the first drop down box and choose the question to which you want to add the skip. This question will be the "hinge" for the skip — the way a person answers this question will determine whether they will skip the next question(s) or not.
• Next, you will choose the answer choice you desire to use in the logic for this skip, and ALSO the way that choice is answered. For example, you may choose to skip if the answer you chose "is selected," "is not selected," "is displayed," or "is not displayed."
• Next, you will choose the question to which the respondents will be skipped. NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT ASKING YOU TO CHOOSE THE QUESTIONS TO SKIP, but rather the first question that will not be skipped. All questions between this one and your "hinge" question will be skipped.
• Your box will end up with a clause saying something like this:

"If Question – Are you a golfer? Choice – Yes:Choice Is Selected, Then Skip To How many times a year do you typically golf?

[edit] Move Questions to a New Block

Clicking on this button will automatically create a new block and move all the selected questions to that block. Note that two or more questions must be selected for this option to be available.
