Display logic: Setup & key considerations

Understand how display logic works across your study and get tips for setup and troubleshooting.

Updated over 10 months ago

Display logic helps you create more personalized, relevant experiences by showing or hiding questions based on previous answers.

There are a few important behaviors and limitations to keep in mind when setting it up in your study.

Multiple Rules

  • You can add multiple display logic rules to a single question.

  • If rules conflict, the order shown in the app (top to bottom) will determine which rule takes priority.

Reordering Questions

  • You can reorder questions that have display logic, but moving a question earlier in the flow may cause the display logic rules to behave unexpectedly.

  • For best results: set your question order first, then apply display logic.

First Question Restrictions

  • Display logic cannot be added to the first question in a study as it depends on answers from earlier questions.

  • However, you can apply display logic on the first question of a section, if there is a question in a previous section.

Advanced Settings

  • If “Show all questions on one page” is enabled, display logic will not apply.

  • If “Randomize this section’s questions” is turned on, display logic may not behave as expected. Participants can still complete the study, but some display rules might not trigger.

Question Type Changes

  • If you change a question’s type (e.g., from multiple choice to text), any display logic rules targeting or depending on that question will be removed.

Hiding Options or Sections

  • If display logic hides all answer options for a question, the entire question will not be shown to participants.

  • If every question in a section is hidden due to logic, the entire section will not be shown.
