Question Display Logic

Written by Guillaume

Question Display Logic lets you control when and to whom certain questions in a questionnaire are shown. It helps personalize the respondent’s path based on:

  • Previous answers

  • The relevant department

  • The employee type being evaluated

  • A probability of appearance (random display)

This feature helps make questionnaires more relevant, shorter, and better aligned with the customer’s situation.

What is Display Logic?

Display Logic is a feature you can enable in your questionnaires to define conditions for when certain questions appear. It helps you:

  • Adapt the questionnaire to the customer’s real situation

  • Ask only relevant questions

  • Rotate questions (random display) to avoid making the form longer

  • Measure multiple aspects while keeping the customer experience simple

1. Display Logic based on previous answers

This logic adapts questions based on what the customer answered just before.

Example

A customer receives a questionnaire after an online purchase:

  1. They are first asked how their purchase experience went (this question is shown to everyone).

  2. They are then asked whether they needed assistance.

If the customer answers “Yes”, the next questions will focus on the assistance received.

If the customer answers “No”, the next questions will focus on self-service and website navigation.

In both cases, the final questions (NPS, open-ended question) remain the same.

2. Display Logic based on a department

This logic helps avoid creating multiple questionnaires when a business has several departments.

Example

A renovation business has three departments:

  • Painting

  • Doors and windows

  • Electrical

If a customer received services in painting and electrical, the questionnaire will show only the questions related to those two departments. Questions related to “Doors and windows” will not be shown.

3. Display Logic based on an employee type

This works the same way as departments, but based on employee types.

Example

Employee types:

  • Painter

  • Electrician

  • Technician

If a customer was served by a painter and an electrician, only the questions associated with those employee types will be shown.

This supports a more precise and personalized evaluation.

4. Random Display Logic (probability)

This logic lets you show a question randomly based on a defined probability, such as:

  • 25% (1 out of 4)

  • 50% (1 out of 2)

Example

A restaurant wants to evaluate 10 aspects but does not want a questionnaire that is too long.

By making some questions random:

  • The customer always sees a short questionnaire

  • The business can still collect data on each aspect

  • The effort required from the respondent stays low

For example, even if the questionnaire includes 14 questions, the customer may only see 9.

How to add Display Logic

  1. Go to “Feedback”, then open the “Sequences” tab.

  2. Open the sequence you want to edit.

  3. Click the “Questions” tab.

  4. Under the relevant question, click “Display Logic”.

  5. Choose your condition (answer, department, employee type, probability).

  6. To add more than one condition, click “Add Condition”.

  7. Click “Save”.

Why use Display Logic?

  • To make your questionnaires more adaptive and aligned with real situations

  • To avoid asking unnecessary questions

  • To reduce respondent fatigue

  • To collect more precise and relevant data

  • To evaluate multiple dimensions without increasing questionnaire length
