Branching provides the options to include complex logic to your form. Based on how the person completes the form specific sections / questions are skipped to those sections / questions. This conditional logic can be used based on a specific field value.

How to create branching:

  1. Create ALL questions first, assuming all questions are relevant to the survey / form
  2. Create various sections
  3. Branching only ‘skips’ to the NEXT Section, you cannot use it to ‘go back’
  4. Branching does not HIDE any fields, it just guides the user in completing the form

Select the field you want to use for branching, then click the 3 dots to select branching.
