Key Idea

Branching logic controls whether a field or section appears based on previous responses. It helps make forms shorter, clearer, and more relevant to the user. Without branching logic, users may see many fields that do not apply to the participant, which increases burden and may lead to erroneous entries. With branching logic, the form adapts to the data already entered.
