Filters: display under a condition
A filter makes the display of a question or an item conditional on the answers already given. You can also filter several questions at once.1
Choose the element to filter
Select a question, an item, or a whole section.
2
Set the condition
Define the condition (e.g. only display this question if “LG” was checked in the previous question).
3
Combine the conditions
With AND, the respondent must meet both conditions. With OR, one or the other is enough.
4
Test
Preview: testing is possible as soon as a filter is set.
On a Single choice question, use OR. Since one respondent can only give a single answer, an AND would never trigger.
Complex conditions
To mix ANDs and ORs, use the group system. A group plays the role of parentheses. Example: (“extremely attentive” AND “lives in department 85”) OR (“very attentive” AND “lives in department 75”). You can nest as many groups as necessary. The only real limit is staying readable for yourself.Answer recall
Recall information automatically reinjects, into a question, the text or the choice given earlier by the respondent. Handy to personalize a label from a previous answer.Autopunch: pre-check and skip a question
Autopunch automatically checks an answer based on a previous answer — and, in doing so, does not display the question to the respondent. Typical case: on a multiple choice question, the respondent named only one brand. There is no point in then asking for their main brand: Autopunch checks that brand for them and moves straight on to the next question. If they had named several brands, the main brand question is asked as normal. You define the trigger condition in the question concerned.Screen out: set aside those outside the target
A Screen out sets aside a respondent who does not match the target or the quota. You set a Screen out rule on the question: those who meet it continue, the others are taken out. A respondent who is set aside receives the Screen out status and is sent to the end of the questionnaire. They are not counted in the results.Terminate: stop a valid interview
A terminate is a Termination rule: the interview is stopped along the way, but the respondent is counted in the results. That is the whole difference with the Screen out — the terminate produces a valid interview, simply a shorter one. By default, All respondents can continue the questionnaire: no termination is set. You then add a rule to stop those who have no more questions to see.Typical case: a shortened path. If the non-buyers of a brand do not have to answer the end of the questionnaire, a terminate ends their interview while keeping it in the results. It is often based on a final recode that identifies the path followed.
Quality check
The Quality check automatically excludes suspicious respondents: speeders (answers submitted too fast) and straightliners (answers in a straight line). It works on the same principle as filters and Screen outs, but is turned on in the Survey settings (it is not turned on by default). See Survey settings. An additional check applies to open-ended questions: AI verifies that the answer makes sense and does not contain offensive content.This check on open-ended questions is not turned on by default either. Leave it aside in a niche sector where AI might not recognize the expected vocabulary (e.g. little-known B2B brands), otherwise you risk setting aside valid answers.
