Conditional Logic
Conditional logic shows or hides later questions based on how someone answers, turning a fixed questionnaire into an adaptive one.
Conditional logic is only available in Scored Quiz. The editor's right panel has no Rules tab for Knowledge Quiz, Random Knowledge Quiz or Outcome Quiz — in an outcome quiz a hidden question casts no votes, so paths with more follow-up questions would quietly win more often. If two audiences need different questions, build two quizzes.
What a rule looks like
A rule reads as a sentence: If … then show / hide a question.
In the Rules tab of the editor's right panel, click + Add Rule and fill in:
| Part | Notes |
|---|---|
| If | Pick an earlier question, an operator, and a value |
| and | Keep going with Add Condition; conditions within one rule are ANDed, so all must hold |
| then | Choose Show or Hide, then pick the target question |
A quiz can hold several rules, listed as Rule 1 / Rule 2 and so on.
Available operators
| Operator | Use with |
|---|---|
| equals | Single choice, true/false |
| contains any / not contains any | Multiple choice — matches if any of the chosen options is selected |
| greater than / greater than or equal / less than / less than or equal / between | Numeric answers |
True/false questions offer ✓ True and ✗ False.
A condition can only reference a question with a definite value (single choice, multiple choice, dropdown, cascade, true/false, rating, number). A target is broader — fill-in-the-blank, Rich Text and Image Carousel blocks can be shown or hidden too, which is how you build an "ask them to explain only when they picked Other" follow-up.
Setting one up
Build the questions first
Rules reference specific questions, so both the trigger and the target must already exist.
Add the rule
Pick the question → the operator → the value → show or hide → the target question. Saving an incomplete rule tells you to fill in the rule completely.
Walk it through in preview
Try each answer path. Once you have more than a couple of rules, reasoning about them in your head reliably misses a case.
Things to watch
- Reference questions that come before the target. Pointing at a later question means the answer doesn't exist yet when the condition is evaluated.
- Hidden questions aren't shown and aren't required-checked either, so they never block submission.
- Deleting a rule asks for confirmation; afterwards the target question returns to being shown by default.
Hiding questions affects scoring: a question that never appeared has no answer and contributes no points. When designing an adaptive questionnaire, make sure your scoring rules line up with the questions that may be hidden.
