i needed to check the feasibility of a setup in Qualtrics. Please go through the below requirement | XM Community
Skip to main content

The design element I am trying to build in Qualtrics is to have a multiple choice question (where you can select multiple answers) that has “drill downs” or sub-bullets under each multiple choice. i.e.:Survey Question:What activities do you do daily?
              X ] Read
                             ] Newspaper
                            [ X ] Books
                             ] Other
              ] Write
              X ] Eat
                             ] Breakfast
                             X ] Lunch
                             ] Dinner
              ] Sleep
              ] Watch TVIn the above example, the drill down appears if you select on of the options. I.e. if user selected “Read” as option, they are provided with 3 more options that are specific to reading.

Please Let Me Know How can i do step by step

This same question was asked last week here:
https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/11812/randomize-questions-within-block-with-in-page-display-logicThe thread does not provide a complete (or very good) solution.


abhisek_sharma_abhi It looks like you are interested in "display logic," which lets you display a question only if specified answers are provided in a previous question.
Based on your post, you want Question 1 to look something like this:
Which of the following activities do you do every day?

  • Read

  • Write

  • Eat

  • Sleep

  • Watch TV

Your Question 2 would be displayed only if the respondent clicks on the "Read" answer choice. It would look something like this:
You stated that you read every day. Which of the following materials do you read?
  • Newspapers

  • Books

  • Other

Questions 3, 4, 5, and 6 and would likewise address further detail for writing, eating, sleeping, and watching TV. You would set up a separate piece of display logic that would ensure that Questions 3 to 6 are only displayed to those respondents that click the appropriate boxes in Question 1.
Here's a link to a further discussion of how to use display logic: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/question-options/display-logic/
I hope this is helpful!


In case there is any interest...I've developed a JavaScript function that provides a flexible solution to this in one question. Demo here.
It supports any number of choices and sub-choices without JS modification. It has options for automatic deselect (i.e., automatically deselect sub-choices when parent choice is deselected or don't allow parent deselection if sub-choices are selected), sub-choice indentation, and choice alignment. It supports randomization of choices and sub-choices including anchoring sub-choices, and the previous/back button.
Contact me by private message if interested (it isn't free).
