Creating a condition block

Author > Changing the questionnaire order > Adding general conditional logic > Creating a condition block

When you create a Condition block, an If item is automatically generated. You can manually add one or more ElseIf items and a single Else item as needed.

To add a condition block

1 In the Routings pane, select the item after which you want to add a Condition block.

Note You can insert a Condition block within an existing Condition block by selecting an If, ElseIf, or Else item within the existing block.

2 From the menu, choose Insert > Routing Item > Condition > IfBlock or press Alt+I, R, O, I..

3 The item has an automatically generated name. If required, replace it with a more meaningful one. This is useful if you add several Condition blocks to your questionnaire.

Names must be unique, cannot be empty and can contain only letters, numbers and the characters _ @ $ # .

The first character must be a letter or _ (underscore).

Names cannot contain spaces.

To access the Condition block item, select the icon for the item in the Routings pane.

The Description field allows you to type a description for the routing item, if desired. When printing draft paper surveys in UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper, this description is included. Descriptions are not included in the actual paper survey.

4 Specify the If item: see If item.

5 Optional: Add ElseIf items. See ElseIf item.

6 Optional: Add an Else item. See Else item.
