Blocks

Once you add a question to your survey, a question block will automatically be created. To add additional blocks to your survey:

1. Navigate to the end of an existing block.
2. Click the dropdown icon next to the + Add new page button.
3. Select Add to new block.
4. Choose an element from the Add menu.

The selected element will be added to a new page within the newly created block.

You can merge the contents of a block into the block above it to simplify your survey structure. To do this:

1. Click the options icon ().
2. on the block you want to merge.
3. Select Remove block & merge up.

This action moves all elements from the selected block into the block above it. The selected block, along with its settings, will be deleted.

You can split a block into two separate blocks for better organization. To do this:

1. Click the options icon ().
2. on the element you want to split.
3. Select Split to new block.

This action moves the selected element and everything below it (up to the next block) into a newly created block.

Deleting a block will permanently remove all the questions, pages, and associated data it contains. To delete a block

1. Click the options icon ().
2. Select Delete from the list.
3. Confirm that you want to delete the block and its contents.

Additionally, if the last question or page is removed from a block, the block will be automatically deleted.

Reorder blocks by using the move dialog. Find this by clicking the options icon () on a block in the question navigation pane. Choose where to place the block and click Move.

Blocks can be collapsed to help keep the question navigation organized. Once you’ve finished authoring a block, you can collapse it to reduce clutter and focus on the next section. To collapse a block, simply click the collapse icon next to the block name.

Page randomization shuffles the order of pages within a block for each respondent. This setting is applied at the block level and can be enabled via the block's options menu. For more details, refer to the page randomization section of the randomization article.

You can apply display logic to a block to conditionally show it based on specific criteria. For more detailed instructions, refer to the Display logic help article.

To ungroup a collection, hover over it in the navigation panel and click the More options icon. From the dropdown menu, select Ungroup. This action will remove the collection grouping, and all blocks within it will return to the main list of blocks in the survey structure. Any settings applied at the collection level, such as randomization, will no longer affect the ungrouped blocks.

The default collection behavior. All blocks in the collection are shown to respondents in the survey order.

Specify how many blocks to show each respondent. Optionally, you can choose to randomize their order and prioritize the least-seen blocks.

Use a list to determine which blocks are shown. While a standard list can be used, it's generally not recommended, as it applies no logic—resulting in all blocks being shown. A dynamic list is typically preferred since its logic helps determine which blocks display dynamically.

When a dynamic list is selected, a table displays all its items alongside their corresponding blocks. List items appear in their defined order, while blocks follow their order in the survey.

During the survey, the dynamic list is generated, and respondents only see the blocks corresponding to items in their list.
