Skipping based on more than one item

[I][edited from support email][/I]
If I understand correctly, there are some limitations in creating skip patterns for questionnaires. Mainly that you can only skip in a linear fashion based on a current response. Thus say you have 10 items in a questionnaire and you wanted 1-4 answered. Then based on their answers to 1 or more questions you might say:
If item 2=0 and item 3=0 go to item 6
It seems you couldn't do this in MediaLab, either using two items to make a decision or inserting a skip that refers back to previous items.

You are correct that MediaLab skip functions will not work in a backward direction. However you can actually define very [I]complex[/I] skip patterns using the Advanced Features which allows you to integrate the conditional logic of Excel (see [I]Advanced Features[/I] in the users guide, or go here:

ps., for what it's worth, backward skipping is on our list of features to add.
