The Logic Jump feature in Typeform is one of the most useful features to keep your forms and surveys organized and clutter-free. This feature helps you eliminate the complicated process of filling out your form with unnecessary questions. It is also convenient for respondents to answer your surveys, as they do not have to go through questions that are not important to them.
In short, Logic Jump helps you put the ‘If or Else’ state on your forms. All you have to do is mix a few interactive elements into your form and you’ll have an engaging form in no time. And well, the analysis part will also become easier.
The good thing about Logic Jump in Typeform forms is that they can be applied to most question types, including multiple choice questions or MCQs. And the installation process is not difficult either.
So, let’s check out how to go about it.
How to Add Logic to the Mix
Creating a long and complex form can be a daunting task, causing everyone to lose track of the questions and flow. Therefore, it is always advisable to have a rough sketch on hand before investigating further.
The good thing about branching in Typeform is that you can see a neat flowchart as you branch out. This will help you take a step back should you notice any problems with the jumps.
Note: Logic Jump is a paid feature on Typeform.
Stage 1: To get started, do the basic structure of your forms, such as adding a title, a welcome slide, and a set of frequently asked questions, including the MCQ.
Next, create the different sections you want your questions to branch into. When done, be ready to link the question to the relevant sections.
In my case, if you choose Branch A, the flow should go to Branch A Questions and the same goes for Branch B and C. When you answer Related Branch questions, the flow should be to Question 7, which is a common question. question.
step 2: To add a jump, click the Logic jump icon > Add Logical Jump and add the condition followed by the link to the segments as shown in the screenshot below.
Stage 3: However, we’re not done yet. We should do the same for Branch B and Branch C. To do this, double-click the little Plus icon to add two more logical jumps.
The problem with Logic Jump is that all your questions follow the chronology of the questions unless you add a specific ‘Other’ condition.
In my case, if I don’t add the final ‘Other’ condition, Branch A (Q #4) will always redirect to (Q #5 and Q#6) and the same is true for Branch B.
Of course, we don’t want that to happen.
Step 4: To address this, click on the Logic Jump icon of the related questions and add the link to the common question (Q#7 in my case) as shown in the screenshot below.
Do the same for both S#5 and S#6. In the end, your flowchart should look like this.
After creating a sketch, click on the Test Logic in the upper right corner to go to the well, check the logic. If everything aligns properly, it should work. Your form has been created with logical branching.
Things can be a little confusing at first. But chances are, you’ll be hanged soon.
