Display Logic
Show or hide questions and individual choices in place based on previous answers.
Display logic lets you show or hide questions and choices based on previous answers. While skip logic jumps around a question, display logic toggles visibility in place, and can even be applied at the choice level.
Difference from skip logic
| Feature | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Skip logic | When the condition matches, jumps over the question |
| Display logic | When the condition matches, shows or hides the question or choice in place |
If you want to hide only some of the options in a question (for example, showing only the brands the respondent chose in the previous question), display logic is the right tool.
When to use it
- Show an additional question only to respondents who said "yes, I use it"
- Reveal extra questions to a specific industry or demographic segment
- Show only a subset of choices (e.g., only the brands mentioned earlier)
How to set it up
- Select the target question in the preview editor
- Open the Display conditions section in the right-hand panel
- Add conditions:
- Reference an earlier question and value
- Combine with AND / OR as needed
- To hide individual choices, set display conditions on each choice separately
Notes
- Display logic only controls visibility; it does not jump anywhere
- Hidden questions store no value and appear as empty in raw data
- When choices are hidden, percentage calculations during tabulation use the visible choices as the denominator
