How to configure a questionnaire with gating questions
You can configure a questionnaire so that not all questions are shown to a respondent. This is done by making some questions subordinate to a gating question’s answers.
Key rules
The questions you want to appear must be subordinate to the gating question’s answers. If you want some questions not to appear, make them subordinate to the gating question’s other answers.
Example configuration
Suppose you create a four-question questionnaire about security:
Question 1: "Is sensitive data transferred?" (set as the gating question)
Question 2
Question 3
Question 4: "Who handles your security?"
If the respondent answers "yes," you configure question 4 to display for "yes."
If the respondent answers "no," you configure questions 2 and 3 to display for "no."
Result for respondents
Answering "yes": Only question 4 displays.
Answering "no": Only questions 2 and 3 display.
This setup ensures that the questionnaire dynamically shows only the questions relevant to the respondent’s answer.
