Determining the order in which branching questions are asked
Q. What does the option
Last Branch in Set do?
A. The Last Branch in Set option
is used to determine the order a series of branching questions is
asked. For example:
If you have two branching questions:
1. Why do you like ...
2. Why do you dislike ...
And you have three branches, such
as three colors:
1. Red
2. Blue
3. Green
You could ask the branching
questions in two ways. You could ask "Why do you like..."
for each color and then ask "Why do you dislike..." for each
color.
OR
You could ask "Why do
like..." and then ask "Why do you dislike..." for the
first color and then repeat the process for each of the next 2 colors.
If you were to check the box
"Last Branch in Set" for the "Why do you like..."
and "Why do you dislike..." questions then the first
question would
be asked for each color and then
the second question would be asked for each question.
But if you were to only check the
"Last Branch in Set" for the second branching question,
then both questions would be asked for a color before
asking about the next color.
Regardless of which method you use to determine question order, at some point, YOU MUST select "Last Branch in Set."
