Conditional questions

When creating questions on forms on the InEvent platform, it is possible to add conditional questions. This means you can add a second question depending on the answer that the participant gives to a specific question on the form.

To do this, you will use the Question Parent Selection function, which serves as a conditional to attach a question to an answer.

You can add conditional questions to the three types of forms offered by InEvent:

1. Registration form
2. Feedback form
3. Custom Form

How do I create a conditional question?

Once you are on the registration, feedback, or custom form page, you can create conditional questions through the following two-step process:

• First, create a parent question.
• Next, add a child question (The visibility of the child question depends on a participant's answer to the parent question on the form).

How do I create a conditional question for a Yes/No answer type?

The following steps are described with the Registration page (Marketing > Registration > Registration form) as reference:

Creating a parent question

1. Click on + Add question at the top of the screen.
2. Enter a title, for example, Are you staying overnight?
3. Choose Yes/No from the Question-answer type drop-down.
4. Choose a section of the registration form that the question will belong to. To learn more about sections, explore this article.
5. Press Create.

After creating the parent question, you can add and link a conditional child question.

Adding a child question

1. Click on +Add question again.
2. Choose a title, for example, Are you staying more than one night?
3. Select any answer type Yes/No (child questions can hold any answer type).
4. Use the Question parent selector tool to select the parent question previously created.
5. Select the parent option. In the case below, we use Yes.
6. Press Create.

How do I create a conditional question for an options list answer type?

Creating a parent question

2. For the Question answer type, select Option list from the drop-down bar.

After creating the parent question, you can add and link a conditional child question.

5. Select the Question parent option selector, in this case, Bus.
6. Press Create.

How do I edit a conditional question after adding it?

To view the conditional question(s) click on the main or parent question and click on conditionals.

After you click on the conditional question you can change its status from conditional to none-should always appear (if you no longer want to make it conditional to the parent question).

You can change the Answer type, title and subtitle.

You can also change the section it belongs to, and you can set it as either required or as a visible mask.

Triggers

When using conditional questions, it's possible to segment the audience based on the answers provided. To do so, you can follow the next steps which will teach how to assign participants to selected lists: Add a question using Yes/No or Option lists as the Question Answer Type.

1. Click on the question created, and then click on Triggers.
2. Click Edit on the top right corner to make changes and select from the drop-down bar the lists that should be triggered based on the expected answer, e.g Yes or No.
3. Click on End to save the changes.
