Reorder Pages in Engagement Questionnaires

Reorganize the sequence of pages in your engagement questionnaire to create logical flow, improve respondent experience, and ensure information is collected in the most effective order.

Quick Steps

1. Navigate to Ask > Surveys > Build select your survey
   
   
2. Find your engagement questionnaire and click "Edit"
3. In the Questionnaire Builder, select the page you want to move
4. Use the up arrow (↑) or down arrow (↓) in the page toolbar to reposition
5. Continue until the page reaches your desired position in the sequence

In-Depth Guide

Access the Questionnaire Builder

Start by navigating to the Engage section and locating your engagement questionnaire on the Activities listing screen. Click "Edit" to open the Questionnaire Builder where you can manage page order and structure.

Select the Page to Move

In the Questionnaire Builder, pages are displayed with numbered tabs that show the current sequence. Click on the page you want to reposition to select it. The selected page will display its content and show the page-level toolbar with reordering options.

Use Page Movement Controls

With your desired page selected, use the directional controls in the page toolbar:

• Up arrow (↑): Moves the selected page one position earlier in the questionnaire sequence
• Down arrow (↓): Moves the selected page one position later in the questionnaire sequence

Click the appropriate arrow repeatedly until the page reaches your desired position. Page numbers automatically update to reflect the new sequence.

Understanding Page Movement Behavior

When you move pages:

• Sequential repositioning: Pages move one position at a time, allowing for precise placement
• Automatic renumbering: Page numbers update immediately to reflect the new order
• Content preservation: All questions and content blocks within the page remain unchanged

Strategic Considerations for Page Order

Logical progression: Arrange pages to follow a natural flow from general to specific topics, or from simple to complex questions.

Respondent engagement: Place engaging or important questions early to maintain participation, while positioning sensitive topics appropriately.

Data dependencies: Ensure pages that reference previous responses or build on earlier questions are positioned after their dependencies.

Demographic placement: Consider whether demographic questions work better at the beginning (for screening) or end (to avoid bias) of your questionnaire.

Common Page Ordering Patterns

Introduction → Demographics → Main topics → Contact information: A traditional flow that establishes context before diving into core questions.

Engaging opener → Core content → Demographics → Conclusion: Starts with interesting questions to hook respondents before collecting background information.

Topic clustering: Group related questions on consecutive pages to maintain focus and reduce cognitive load.

Screening early: Place qualifying questions at the beginning when targeting specific populations.

Reordering Multiple Pages

For extensive reorganization:

1. Plan the sequence: Map out your ideal page order before making changes
2. Move incrementally: Reposition one page at a time to avoid confusion
3. Test navigation: Review the flow after major reordering to ensure logical progression
4. Update references: Check that any page-to-page references or instructions remain accurate

Methodology

Page reordering maintains all page-level and question-level settings:

• Question types and configurations remain unchanged
• Required field settings are preserved
• Conditional logic connections are maintained (though logic flow should be reviewed)
• Content formatting and styling stay intact
• Page-specific settings and customizations are retained

The reordering function only changes the sequence in which pages appear to respondents, without affecting the content or functionality of individual pages.

Edge Cases and Considerations

First page limitations: The first page cannot be moved up, and the last page cannot be moved down. These pages can only move in one direction.

Conditional logic flow: If your questionnaire uses conditional logic that depends on page order or specific question sequences, reordering may affect the intended branching behavior. Review logic connections after major reordering.

Single page questionnaires: Questionnaires with only one page do not show reordering controls, as there are no other positions to move to.

Navigation testing: After reordering, test the complete questionnaire flow to ensure the new sequence provides a logical and user-friendly experience for respondents.
