Creating a condition block

Desktop User Guides > 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 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.

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

2 Click Insert > Routing Item > Condition > IfBlock, or press Alt+I, R, O, I.

3 The item has a generated name. You can change the name; 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.

4 (Optional.) In the Description field, type a description for the routing item. Descriptions are included when printing draft paper surveys in UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Paper. Descriptions are not included in the actual paper survey.

5 Specify the If item: see If item.

6 (Optional.) Add ElseIf items. See ElseIf item.

7 (Optional.) Add an Else item. See Else item.
