What is meant by Skip logic?
Branching logic refers to the ability of software or a system to control the flow or navigation based on specific conditions or criteria. This means that the progression through a system is not linear but varies depending on decisions made by the user or data entered.
Typical functions of software in the field of branching logic are:
- Conditional Navigation: Ability to set conditions or rules that determine which steps or sections of a process should be displayed or traversed.
- Custom Routes: Establishment of different paths or routes through a system based on options selected by the user or responses received.
- Dynamic Content: Display of content or questions based on previous decisions or user responses to increase relevance and enhance the user experience.
- Branching Surveys or Forms: Creation of surveys or forms that display different questions or sections depending on the user's responses.
- Skip Logic: Ability for users to skip or bypass certain sections based on predefined criteria or conditions.
- Input Validation: Validation of user-entered data to ensure it meets expected criteria before progressing to a next step.
- Analysis of Branches: Collection and analysis of data on the usage of branches to gain insights into user behavior and the effectiveness of branching logic.
- Visualization of Branches: Representation of branching logic in the form of flowcharts or graphics to better understand the structure and flow of the system.
