Hello-

I am having issues with conditions. Depending on an answer given on the first page of my survey most of the questions can be left out.

Unfortunately this does not seem to be working, on the reorder screen it states that the Variable is not declared until a later page, which is incorrect.

See attachment for screen shot, the NotHelp question on the first page is the one that should determine whether future questions are shown.

Using Version 2.05+ Build 140730

Am I doing something wrong?

Try testing the complete survey and then look at the Survey Logic File. What does it say?

Cheers,

Thanks

I am having some odd behaviour from the survey. Sometimes it works as expected then, a few seconds later, it displays the questions in the wrong order (with the questions that determine what to display at the end, after displaying all the other questions).

After running in the wrong order the Survey Logic file displays errors, it also has the questions in the wrong order.

Testing a few times the system seems to randomly display the questions correctly, or in the wrong order. There does not seem to be any link between using a new web browser (without LS cookies) and whether the survey is displayed in the correct order. The Survey Logic file does not seem to update with each run (it can run correctly but display errors in the logic file or run wrongly and not display errors).

The switching between running correctly and wrongly can happen when using the test mode or with the survey live.

Hmmm...that is odd. Try exporting and re-importing the survey.

Did you set a randomization group, by any chance?

Thanks-

The person who designed the survey had added "no" in the randomisation group for two of the question groups (not quite sure why!).

Removing this and it seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for your help

Mark

Sometimes it is the small things that screw up your survey. :laugh:

Glad to be able to help.
