Screening and Sampling: During the data collection phase, respondents are screened to ensure they fit into the predefined categories. So called “screen-out” is sending people away from the questionnaire. 

Here is an example of a questionnaire that would send male participants away.

In order for you to start creating logics you need to program all your questions and answers that are needed for the logic upfront. Once the question is defined you can start creating a logic.

Under Create Settings – Edit questlogix – Add rule you are asked to define a condition and an action in case this condition is fulfilled.

Under a condition you select the question and the respective answer that should be used as a trigger for the condition. In this example the question gender is answered with the value male.

Out of The list of available actions in questfox you select “jump to outro and mark interview as screen out” 

Once this logic applies you can send people to a different website after the Click. the website can be integrated under redirect URL 

For testing purposes it is also helpful to integrate a special screen out message telling the tester which logic was used as a trigger. When informing respondents we normally try to hide the reason why they were screened out in order to not influence a second trial from that same respondent.

If you are working together with a professional panel provider they normally have their own messages so you rather leave that screen out message empty as it will be shown to the respondents for a glimpse of a second until they are redirected to the original panel partner.
