&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!Style!!Pros!!Cons&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Conditions||1. Nice [[Setting conditions|GUI]] for creating simple conditions. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;2. GUI well documented and understood by support team||1. Only supports simple comparisons and does not &amp;quot;AND&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;OR&amp;quot; conditions well. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;2. Cascading conditions work erratically &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;3. Slow - database intensive -it can slow down long surveys. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;4. Some reported problems with reloading conditions.&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;5. GUI doesn&amp;#039;t scale well when there are dozens, hundreds, or thousands of questions. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;6. It could be slow to convert paper-based surveys since it must use [[SGQA identifier|SGQA]] names. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;7. Often need a programmer to custom-code logic needed for complex branching.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
|Relevance||1. Supports very complex logic, including 80+ functions and math/string operators. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;2. Perfect support for [[Expression_Manager_-_presentation#Cascading_Conditions|cascading logic]]. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;3. Fast - no extra database calls, supporting 1000+ question surveys. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;4. No problems with reloading logic since it does not require [[SGQA identifier|SGQA]] codes. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;5. Syntax-highlighting scales to 1000+ question surveys. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;6. Easy and fast to use for groups wanting to computerize existing paper-based surveys. &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;7. It easily supports semi-structured interviews and epidemiological surveys without needing a programmer.||1. No GUI for simple conditions - it makes use of [[Expression_Manager_to_be_updated#Syntax_Highlighting|syntax-highlighting]] instead.&lt;br /&gt;
