Step 2: Creating Custom Paths with Splits

Splits allow you to create custom paths through your survey based on respondents’ answers, leading to more relevant data collection and improved user engagement. By using splits, you can tailor the survey experience to each respondent, asking only the most relevant questions based on their previous answers. Here’s how to use Splits in your survey workflow:

1. Click the + sign and select Add Split from the options.
2. After adding a split, you’ll see options to customize your survey workflow:
   • Add Question: Add a new question to the split branch.
   • Edit Rules: Set conditions for when this split should occur based on previous answers.
   • Change Target: Specify where to direct respondents (e.g., to different questions or to end the survey).
   • Delete Split: Remove the split if needed.

These options allow you to create sophisticated survey flows that adapt to each respondent’s answers. For more detailed instructions on creating and managing Survey Workflows, please refer to the How to Create and Manage Survey Workflows article.

Best Practices for Creating Effective Survey Workflows

1. Aim for surveys that take 5 minutes or less to complete. Shorter surveys typically have higher completion rates.
2. Begin with simple, engaging questions to encourage participants to continue.
3. Use clear, specific language. Avoid jargon or ambiguous terms that might confuse respondents.
4. Ask one thing at a time. Each question should focus on a single idea to avoid confusion and ensure accurate responses.
5. For multiple-choice questions, offer a range of options that cover all possible responses.
6. Group related questions together and follow a natural progression from general to specific topics.
7. For multiple-choice questions, consider adding an “Other” field to capture unexpected responses.
8. Use splits strategically to create personalized survey experiences, showing respondents only the most relevant questions based on their previous answers.
9. Always test your survey before publishing to catch any errors or unclear questions.
10. Respect privacy by only asking for personal information that’s necessary for your survey’s goals.
