Screenouts are coming up from time to time in the forum.

Unfortunately Limesurvey does not have a real screen out system.

For simple screenout rules the workaround with the zero quotas works quite well.

But what if the screenout needs to be based on more than one question? I was told before, that then "scenarios" should be used. But this would mean that this scenario condition would have to be applied to every subsequent question and also there would be no way to redirect to a different end url (important for panels).

Now I had the idea to use an equation question and create a rule that would write "screenout" or "continue" based on responses to various previous questions. Based on this you could again use the zero quota, but quotas do not work with equation question.

Here is a real life problem: www.limesurvey.org/en/community-services...nking-design?#113066

You can use the assignment operator in an equation type question to control the screen-out radio question.

Of course, you will want to place the equation question after the radio.

Here's an example equation that would screen-out if gender code is "A1" and the age code is "A5".
Code:
{screenout = if(gender == "A1" AND age == "A5","out","in")}

This looks really great, Tony!

I was just wondering if there is any specific reason for the Javascript code in the first two questions. I don't think the code is necessary and these are leftovers, right?

Hi Dennis!

Not sure how to read your response. But from what I understood: it is fixed and the equation assignment should work now to use it for screenouts, correct?

Yep, sorry, that's what I get for re-using test surveys.

No problem! I was just a little confused but it did not make any sense to me, so I thought it might be just a left over.

There is an error message with the link. Thanks so much! So glad holch made a forum for this topic. I used the code tpartner provided, there is no way to test out screenouts on inactive surveys correct? Just want to make sure the screen out works before I send my survey out. You all are awesome!!!

Ahhh, it is actually just a link to your post about your screening needs over 2 questions. ;-)

But I think, with the example from Tpartner, you should now be able to solve your problem, right?

Thanks for all your help, the team at Limesurvey is AWESOME!! Just want to triple check I have this right before I send my survey out. I used the equation tpartner gave me, so those that are being screened out will be presented with my Quota message. I have an end url, will does that aren't screened out be automatically taken to my second survey with the end url or will they still have to click the link? Just want to make sure, don't want to lose participants because they didn't click the link. Thanks
