Cloning
Cloning is a feature available to eliminate duplication of data. Multiple questionnaires tend to use questions that already exists in the system in a different questionnaire.

You may also choose to clone an entire questionnaire or only specific questions. When cloned, question type, condition and conditional text gets cloned. For example: question types such as NPS, CES, CSAT, Name, Email, User Comments etc can be cloned. This is help to visualise as to what is overall brand NPS or brand CSAT across all touch points. It is safe to assume that if there is a question type where the data point is expected to roll up globally across questionnaires, they would be cloned.
Any change in the cloned question (Edit Original) will reflect across all questionnaires wherever that question is used but you can add display logic, conditional text, mark the question mandatory without affecting other questionnaires.
To apply cloning when you add a questionnaire the system will prompt you that whether you want to clone the question or not. This will only be available for questions which are there in other questionnaires.
Press ‘Clone’ as shown.
To view where this question is used click on ‘View details’. It will show you list of questionnaires where all this question has been used as shown.

Display Logic
Display Logic is when you want a question to dynamically get displayed based on the previous questions responses i.e. questions that have dependencies on answers of prior questions E.g: If the answer for question 1 is ‘Yes’, then show question 2
Click on ‘Display Logic’
Select the dependent question. Dependencies can be created on ‘Multi Choice Questions’, ‘Scale Questions’, ‘Single Line and User Comments questions only
If the condition isn’t met, the question will be skipped. Multiple conditions can be created based on ‘and/or’ functionality as shown.
The ordering of questions is important here as dependencies can only be created on previous questions and not on subsequent questions. For instance; in the below example the ‘User Comments’ question will only be asked to those customers who respond to NPS question with a Detractor score (0 to 6) or a Passive score (7 & 8) AND who reply ‘Yes’ for ‘Are you having trouble finding anything on Website?’ question as shown below.
Multiple Condition Blocks can be added as needed. The Display Logic Summary based the conditions will show in the right hand side as shown in the screenshot below. Once all the configurations are done press ‘Done’.
This way you can ask pertinent questions to only specific set of customers depending on their responses rather then having all customers have to answer all questions and have a lengthy survey.
Conditional Question Text
Change the question text and ask this question in a different way based on a condition i.e. customer response. If this condition is not met, this question will be displayed using the default text. For example: The survey questionnaire has an NPS question and a follow-up User Comments question. You can configure this questionnaire in such a way that if a customer gives you a Detractor or Passive score in the NPS question then you can apply conditional text on the follow-up user comments question to ask;‘What can we do to improve your experience?' but if the customer gives you a Promoter score then the same follow-up question can be asked; Awesome, thank you! Please share with us what did we do better as shown below.
To set up, click on the ‘Conditional Text’ as shown
Define the conditions or condition blocks as needed. Type the conditional question text which should be displayed if the condition is met and press ‘Save’

Retired questions
Retiring a question hides it in the survey and responses are no longer collected for this question. This will impact any display logic or conditional text based on this question. All the previously collected responses will be retained.
Retiring is used at times when a specific question in a questionnaire might not be relevant or might need to be replaced with another which is more relevant. When this needs to be done and the data needs to be retained, retiring a question is the ideal option. This will simply disable the question from the questionnaire, but data continues to be available for analysis.
To retire a question click on ‘Retire Question’ as shown.
Press ‘Retire’
To unretire press ‘Unretire Question’ as shown.
Delete Question
