A survey that thinks along

Control the survey flow precisely: answer-based skip logic with screen-out and display logic with AND/OR conditions. Plus randomization, page breaks, response limits and automatic close dates — all enforced server-side.

Editing a question in DataLion with variable code, required toggle and option randomization

DataLion offers answer-based skip logic that jumps per choice to a follow-up question, to the end, or to a screen-out with custom end text, plus display logic that shows a question only when earlier answers match (AND/OR conditions). Add randomization of questions and options, page breaks, response limits and automatic close dates — all enforced server-side.

Skip logic and screen-out

Every answer option can take its own path: answer-based skip logic jumps to a follow-up question, straight to the end, or into a screen-out with custom end text — ideal for quotas and target-group filters.

That sends respondents exactly where they belong and keeps non-targets out cleanly, without pushing them through irrelevant questions.

  • Jump to follow-up, end or screen-out per answer
  • Screen-out with custom end text
  • Clean filtering of target groups and quotas

Display logic with AND/OR conditions

Display logic shows a question only when earlier answers match. Conditions can be combined with AND/OR — so only the right person sees the right question.

That keeps questionnaires short and relevant: anyone who never used a product is not even shown the detailed questions about it.

  • Show-if conditions based on earlier answers
  • Combinable with AND/OR
  • Shorter, more relevant questionnaires

Randomization, limits and variable codes

Against order effects, randomize answer options and questions. Page breaks structure long questionnaires, while response limits and automatic close dates control fieldwork — enforced server-side, so they cannot be bypassed.

And because you assign variable codes like gender or nps_score yourself, the resulting dataset stays cleanly named and comparable across waves.

  • Randomization of answer options and questions
  • Page breaks for long questionnaires
  • Response limits and automatic close dates (server-side)
  • Editable variable codes — e.g. gender, nps_score

Common questions about survey logic

What is the difference between skip logic and display logic?
Skip logic controls where you go after an answer — to a follow-up question, to the end or to a screen-out. Display logic decides whether a question is shown at all, based on earlier answers (with AND/OR conditions).
Can I screen respondents out of the target group?
Yes. Answer-based skip logic can route per choice into a screen-out with custom end text. That filters non-targets out cleanly, without pushing them through irrelevant questions.
Does DataLion support randomization of questions and answers?
Yes. You can randomize both answer options and questions to avoid order effects. Page breaks additionally structure long questionnaires.
Can I set response limits and a close date?
Yes. Response limits and automatic close dates control fieldwork and are enforced server-side — so they cannot be bypassed.
Can I set the variable names for later analysis myself?
Yes. Variable codes like gender or nps_score are editable. That keeps the dataset created on publish cleanly named and comparable across waves.
