What can be used to collect routing information in a survey?

Branch Elements are used to collect routing information within a survey because they allow you to define conditions that determine which participants see specific questions based on their previous responses. This branching logic helps tailor the survey experience to individual respondents by directing them to appropriate subsequent questions based on their answers.

For example, if a participant selects "Yes" to a question, the Branch Element can route them to a follow-up question that relates to their affirmative response, while those who select "No" can skip to a different set of questions. This ensures that respondents only encounter questions that are relevant to them, improving the quality of the data collected.

In contrast, Display Options impact how questions or answers appear to respondents, but do not facilitate routing. Embedded Data is primarily used for storing additional information about respondents or their responses, not for directing them through different paths in the survey. Question Types refer to the format of individual survey questions (such as multiple choice, text entry, etc.) and likewise do not manage the flow or routing of the survey content.
