Advanced Logic Walkthrough
This tutorial demonstrates how to create sophisticated YataForm logic that adapts to respondent answers. You'll learn how to:
- Set up conditional branching to show different questions based on previous answers
- Implement skip logic to streamline the respondent experience
- Create validation rules to ensure data quality and completeness
- Build dynamic question sequences that adapt in real-time
- Design multi-path form workflows for complex research scenarios
- Test and preview logic flows before deployment
Advanced logic transforms static forms into intelligent, adaptive experiences that gather higher-quality data while reducing respondent fatigue and completion time.
Key Logic Features
🔀 Conditional Branching
Show or hide questions based on previous responses, creating personalized form experiences that only ask relevant questions to each respondent.
⏭️ Skip Logic
Automatically skip irrelevant sections based on respondent characteristics or answers, reducing form length and improving completion rates.
✅ Validation Rules
Ensure data quality with custom validation rules that check for valid formats, ranges, and required fields before allowing form submission.
🔄 Dynamic Sequences
Create adaptive question flows that change based on multiple conditions, enabling sophisticated research designs and complex decision trees.
Logic Design Best Practices
- Plan your logic flow first: Map out conditional paths and decision points before building in the platform
- Keep it simple: Complex logic can confuse respondents; use branching only when it improves the experience
- Test all paths thoroughly: Preview each possible route through your form to catch logic errors
- Provide clear progress indicators: Let respondents know how much of the form remains, even with branching
- Use validation wisely: Balance data quality requirements with respondent frustration from restrictive rules
- Document your logic: Keep notes on complex conditional flows for future reference and updates
- Monitor completion rates: Track where respondents drop off to identify problematic logic points
Common Logic Patterns
Screening Logic
Qualify or disqualify respondents based on initial screening questions, directing them to appropriate form sections or ending the form early.
Follow-up Questions
Ask detailed follow-up questions only when specific answers are provided, gathering deeper insights without overwhelming all respondents.
Personalized Paths
Create unique question sequences for different respondent segments (e.g., customers vs. prospects, different product users).
Progressive Disclosure
Gradually reveal form complexity by showing advanced questions only to engaged respondents who demonstrate expertise or interest.
