New Editor in Studies
The new study editor is a complete redesign of how you build screeners or surveys in Ethnio, with new question types, built-in logic, and a cleaner layout.
Accessing the editor
Open any study and click Editor in the left sidebar. You’ll see a Beta badge while it’s in early access.
Editor layout 🗺️
The editor has two panels:
The canvas (right side) shows your screener questions in order — Q1, Q2, Q3, etc. At the bottom you’ll always see three ending cards: Regular Ending, Qualified Ending, and Disqualified Ending. These control what participants see when they finish.
The settings panel (left side) updates based on whichever question is selected. It has two sections: Options (question behavior) and Logic (conditional, display, qualifying, and pool triggers).
Use the Content / Logic flow tabs at the top to toggle between editing questions and viewing your full logic map.
Question types 🏷️
Click + Add content to open the question picker. Search by name or browse by category. New question types are marked ✨.
- Personal info — Name, Preferred name, Email, Date of birth, Phone
- Informational — Consent ✨, Welcome page ✨, Formatted text block, Image & text
- Advanced — Scheduling, Group of questions ✨, Matrix ✨, Slider, Image upload ✨
- Close-ended — Checkboxes, Dropdown, Radio buttons
- Open-ended — Single line text
The Library tab lets you pull in a saved question from your Questions Library instead of building from scratch.
Configuring a question
Click any question in the canvas to select it. Edit the question title by clicking it directly. For close-ended types, click any answer to edit it, use + Answer to add options, and Copy Answers / Paste Answers to duplicate answer sets between questions.
Options
- Required — participant must answer before moving on
- Randomize answers — shuffles answer order on each load
- Other field text input — adds a free-text “Other” option
- Add page break — puts this question on its own page
Logic
Each question has four logic controls in the settings panel. The current status ("Active" or "Not set") is visible at a glance.
- Qualifying logic — toggle on to mark this question as a qualifier. Answers can route participants to a Qualified or Disqualified ending.
- Skip logic — routes participants to a different question based on their answer, skipping questions in between. Click to add rules per answer option.
- Display logic — shows or hides this question based on a previous answer. If the condition isn't met, the question is skipped automatically.
- Pool automation triggers — connects a participant's answer to an automated action in your Pool.
