Add consent, hiding rules, and page branching
Route participants through the right questions and test every condition before collecting study data.
Screenshots from the original Surveylet guide illustrate the controls below. Layouts and labels may vary with your survey configuration. Select an image or “View full size” to open it in a new tab.
Choose the right kind of logic
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Visibility | Keep an item visible, locked, or hidden for participants. |
| Hide Question logic | Show or hide a question according to previous selections. |
| Page Branching | Choose where the participant goes after submitting the page. |
A common use is consent or eligibility on the first page. Make the requirement and the outcome of declining clear to participants. Keep the approved consent text with your study records.
Create a branching rule
- Open the page settings menu and select Page Branching.
- Add a rule and select the question checkbox in the first column. Without that checkbox the condition is not saved.
- Select the relevant choices and the condition: selected/not selected and any/all.
- Choose the action: Jump to Page, Jump to URL, or Close Questionnaire.
- Save, then review the order in the branching queue.
- Test each possible path using known answers.
Multiple conditions inside one rule are evaluated together using AND. Rules are evaluated in order, and the first matching rule determines the action. Put a general unconditional rule after more specific rules.

Avoid unexpected data removal
Close Questionnaire can be configured to keep the user, remove them from the participant group, or remove them from the account. These options have different consequences for access and existing data. Review the selected action before using it for consent or eligibility.
When directing a participant to another survey, the target must have appropriate access enabled and available responses. Answering a separate target survey can use a separate response allowance. Do not assume branching copies the original questionnaire.
Return to the last visited page
For a first-page “Resume” option, the documented Jump to URL token is {~jump_to_last_page_visited~}. It resolves to the last visited page; for a first visit, the documented fallback is page 2. Test this with your own first-page structure and consent workflow.
