Creating Survey Steps

How to Create Survey Steps | Create steps with dependency clauses and questions in a survey.

Prerequisites: Users require at least one of the following:
  • Users require moderator+ permissions for the module to complete this task.
  • If editing an existing survey,Users require contributor+ permissions for the module and must be the item creator to complete this task.
  • If creating a survey, Users require contributor+ permissions for this module to complete the task.

Each step represents a part in the multi-part form that makes up the survey. Add multiple questions to a step and use dependency clauses to decide which questions each user receives based on their previous answers.
