To group questions so that they appear together in a questionnaire, use these methods:

You can also group questions in a condition block (see Adding general conditional logic, enabling you to specify one or more conditions that must be met for the questions to be asked.

Compounds are typically used for presentation purposes in paper questionnaires, to present a number of separate questions that use the same response list side by side on the page. They are question items, and they also appear in other applications such as UNICOM Intelligence Reporter and Survey Tabulation.

Compounds can contain any type of question item, including compounds, loops and blocks. They cannot include routing items.

A loop is a set of questions that might be asked multiple times but for a different subject each time. The number of times the question or set of questions is asked can be controlled using the responses from a previous question, a fixed number of iterations, a user-entered list of responses, a variable number of iterations based on the answer to a numeric question, or a shared list. Loops are question items, and also appear in other applications such as UNICOM Intelligence Reporter and Survey Tabulation.

Loops can contain any type of question item, including compounds, loops and blocks. They cannot include routing items.

Blocks are used to group questions for presentation or organizational purposes. They are question items, and they also appear in other applications such as UNICOM Intelligence Reporter and Survey Tabulation.

Blocks can contain any type of question item, including compounds, loops and blocks. They cannot include routing items.

Sections group questions and routing items into folders for organizational purposes. Sections are routing items.

Sections can contain any type of question item, including compounds, loops and blocks. They can also contain any type of routing item, including sections, pages and condition blocks.

Pages group questions for presentation purposes. The grouped questions all appear on a single web page in an online questionnaire (this is sometimes known as a multi‑ask). Pages are routing items.

Pages can contain any type of question item, including compounds, loops and blocks. They cannot include routing items.
