FAQ

Question 1

What is conditional logic in Gatheroo?

Accepted Answer

Conditional logic in Gatheroo is a feature that allows you to show or hide specific questions based on how respondents answer previous questions.

It creates dynamic, personalised forms where only relevant fields appear, improving the user experience and completion rates.

You can set up conditional logic in the Field Settings of any question to display it only when certain conditions from a Single Select question are met.

Question 2

How do I set up conditional logic in Gatheroo?

Accepted Answer

To set up conditional logic in Gatheroo, first create a Single Select question as your trigger.

Then, add the fields you want to show conditionally. Click the gear icon on any field to open Field Settings, scroll to the Conditional Logic section, and configure your rules by selecting the trigger question, choosing an operator (like "is" or "is not"), and selecting which answer should display this field.

Click save and preview your request to test the logic.

Question 3

Can I use conditional logic with any field type in Gatheroo?

Accepted Answer

Conditional logic in Gatheroo currently requires a Single Select question as the trigger field.

However, any field type can be conditionally shown or hidden based on the Single Select answer. This means you can display text fields, file uploads, multi-choice questions, or any other Gatheroo field type conditionally, but the question that determines what shows must be a Single Select field.

Question 4

How do I show different questions based on form answers?

Accepted Answer

Use conditional logic in Gatheroo to show different questions based on form answers.

Create a Single Select question with all possible options, then add the follow-up questions you want to display conditionally. In each follow-up question's Field Settings, enable Conditional Logic and specify which answer from the Single Select question should trigger that field to appear.

You can set multiple conditions using "Any" or "All" logic to create complex branching forms.

Question 5

Can I create branching forms in Gatheroo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can create branching forms in Gatheroo using conditional logic.

Set up Single Select questions as decision points, then configure subsequent fields to appear only when specific answers are selected. You can create multi-level branching by making conditionally displayed fields themselves Single Select questions that trigger additional fields.

This allows you to build sophisticated, adaptive forms that guide respondents through different paths based on their answers.

Question 6

How do I hide form fields based on previous answers?

Accepted Answer

To hide form fields based on previous answers in Gatheroo, use conditional logic in the Field Settings.

Create a Single Select question, then open the Field Settings for any field you want to hide conditionally. In the Conditional Logic section, select "Hide this field if" instead of "Show this field if," then set up your conditions.

The field will be visible by default but will hide when the specified conditions are met.

Question 7

What are dynamic form questions?

Accepted Answer

Dynamic form questions are questions that appear or disappear automatically based on how someone fills out earlier parts of a form. In Gatheroo, you create dynamic form questions using conditional logic, which shows relevant fields based on Single Select question answers.

This creates a personalised experience where respondents only see questions applicable to their situation, making forms shorter, more relevant, and easier to complete.

Question 8

How can I personalise forms based on user responses?

Accepted Answer

Personalise forms based on user responses in Gatheroo by setting up conditional logic.

Start with key Single Select questions that identify different user segments or scenarios (like business type, location, or service needed).

Then configure follow-up fields to display only when relevant answers are selected.

This ensures each respondent sees a customised set of questions tailored to their specific situation, improving engagement and data quality.
