How to end a survey without using lots of Skip Logic

Support
1

Hi Everyone,
Is there a method (or function) for ENDING a survey that can be inserted
after a YES/NO question?
We want to ask "HAVE YOU BEEN INTERVIEWED BY US BEFORE?" at the beginning.
If YES, go to the END of the survey where it will still be submitted to the
server.
Here's the catch....
We just created a survey and the PM requested the above question. If
there's no way, that would mean I'd have to enter skip logic for EVERY
question after this YES/NO question. Tedious!!

Surely there's something simpler!?!? :slight_smile:

Ok, I just saw this thread: How to have question go to the end of a formhttps://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/opendatakit/skip$20to$20end/opendatakit/Yy6BsA6n7H0/xBUyS0SX49EJ
So it can't be done. Oh well, time to enter tons of skip logic in Kobo
Designer for this form. :slight_smile:

Alternatively, you can put all the questions in a group and add the skip
logic to the group. Thus the logic will apply to all the questions.

Great idea! But, can I cut & paste questions into a group that are OUTSIDE
of the group??
I'll give it try. :slight_smile:

Aaah,I see! Right now, I just use Kobo Form to design the forms and add
skip logic/validation; simple and stress free. I defintinely have to learn
the xlsform method though...seems waaay more powerful -- just really BUSY
with LOTS of other people's STUFF and/or people handing me forms or IT
issues that were due YESTERDAY. :slight_smile:

I have no problems editing the xml code if someone points me where/what to
EDIT/INSERT.

This was a great coversatio, but I see now that the code that was featured on this link provided "http://formhub.org/syntax/#skipping-many-questions-at-once" is no longer available.

Is it possible to provide an alternative link?

Many thanks,
Marcel

Updated documentation is at http://xlsform.org/

w.r.t. this question, surround the block of questions with a begin group and
end group then set relevant conditions on the 'begin group' row in your
XLSX file.

Hello everyone,

I am reopening this thread to see if there is a way to end a survey directly if a particular answer is given. Perhaps 2 years later this feature has been introduced.

The abovementioned solution does not work for my case since I can't group them. The survey needs to be completed in a given time, and I want to add a choice "out of time" to every question of the survey. This way, I need a command that ends the survey the moment one when any question is answered with "Out of time".
