Setting question dependencies
Dependent or dynamic questions allow you to link a question to follow-up question(s) depending on how the first question is answered. For example, if Question 1 is answered with a "Yes", then Question 1a will appear. But if Question 1 is answered with a "No", then Question 1a will not appear.
To make a question's visibility dependent on the answer of a previous question or field, click the 
button next to the question. This will reveal two new fields:
In the "Show this based on an answer to another field or question" field, use the drop-down menu to select the previous question that you want to link the dependent or follow-up question to.
In the "Show when value equals" field, enter the value that must be entered or selected in the previous question (the one selected in the drop-down menu above) in order for this question to be visible in the survey.
Note: the value must match exactly what is entered or selected for that question
