Branch and Randomizing


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

I have 3 blocks of questions. Block 1 and 3 each contain 4 questions of which 1 should be randomly shown. Block 2 should be displayed between blocks 1 and 3 and respondents should always answer all questions in block 2. However, I want to randomize which one of blocks 1 and 3 is shown to respondents before block 2 and which one after. Any ideas how I can do this?
I have used a randomizer to randomly select either blocks 1 or 3 before block 2 and it works. However, how do I then get the other not randomly selected block to be shown after block 2?
Thanks!

Survey Flow:

  1. Randomizer: Blocks 1 and 3. Show one element.

  2. Block 2

  3. Branch: If Block 1 (or some question in block 1, was displayed, show block 3) else show block 1.

Thanks. I had tried this except, I don't seem to be able to select "if block" in the branch. It only lets me select "if question" . And when I select all the questions in the block connected with an "OR" ("If Q1 or Q2 or Q3 or Q4") I cannot select "was displayed" but can only select the branch to work if a certain response was selected. Not sure if this makes sense to you. How can I get to select:

  • "if block"

  • "was displayed"

If any option in the question was displayed. Is essentially, if the question was displayed.

Also, unless you are displaying a subset of the questions in the block, if you just apply the condition on any one choice in any one question, you should be sorted.

I do just display a subset of the questions in the block: I only randomly display ONE question of the four questions in the block.
It is still not quite clear to me how to make this work. Sorry
