Use Skip Logic in Your Additional Questions for FDS

If you are interested in asking students specific questions based on their answer to "What are you primarily doing after graduation?" on the First Destination Survey you can follow these instructions.

Create the Additional Questions Survey

Create a survey in Handshake's survey section that has a page for each First Destination Response type (or a subset of these types). Refer to Creating and Testing Surveys for more information on this process. 

Tip: Create a new survey from a template to auto create this. 

• Working
• Volunteering 
• Continuing Education
• Still Looking
• Not Seeking

As of March 2020, you are now able to select a particular audience based on student profile data (Course Group or College) per page in your survey creation! 

Example Additional Questions Survey:

Working

General Questions (all First Destination Survey recipients)

This survey is created in the Survey section of Handshake and each individual page should skip to your general questions. Notice the Skips To Field on each page which you can set using the Edit option.
