Adding Optional Display Logic

What is Display Logic?

Display Logic lets you control which questions appear on a survey form based on how a reporter answers a previous question.

Instead of showing every reporter the same set of questions, you can personalize the form so that each reporter only sees the questions that are relevant to them.

Examples:

• AmeriCorps tutoring programs: If a reporter selects After-School Program, you can show a follow-up about grade levels. If they select In-School Program, you can show a question about the number of classrooms supported.

• Adult literacy programs: If a tutor selects Reading Comprehension, you might display a follow-up about materials used (books, newspapers, digital texts). If they select Writing Skills, you can instead ask about feedback frequency on written assignments.

Question Types Supported

Display Logic can be added to and triggered by the following question types:

• Single Select (radio buttons, dropdowns)

• One Date

• Any Date and Date Range

• Time (radio buttons, dropdowns)

• Single Number & Number Series (radio buttons, dropdowns)

• Number Series w/Other

• Non-Number Series w/Other

• Number Series Text Box

• Media Upload

You can add Display Logic while creating a new form or by editing an existing one.
