Intelligent workflow

The application controls your survey's workflow in a logical order that will make sure all the necessary questions will be shown without losing your user's interest by putting him through pages of irrelevant questions. Any pages that contain conditional questions that are not currently eligible will be skipped until the conditions are met at which point the survey engine will return to those questions when it becomes necessary to obtain an answer to them. It completely abstracts the need to manage your own workflow, however there is also an added feature that lets users create explicit page jumps as certain conditions are met in scenarios where you want to control the survey's workflow in detail. Conditional rules can be applied to questions, but also to answer choices and even to rows within a matrix, giving you complete freedom to create the survey you want.
