How to Set Up and Manage Session Surveys with Conditional Logic in Dryfta

Last updated Jul 20, 2026

Question

How can I create a session survey that is used uniformly across all sessions and workshops, apply it in bulk, and set up conditional logic for survey questions in Dryfta?

Answer

1. **Session Surveys in Dryfta:** Dryfta automatically generates survey forms for sessions once you enable the session survey setting for each session. It is not possible to manually create a single survey form and assign it directly to multiple sessions.

2. **Bulk Enabling Surveys:** Use the "Bulk Edit" tool to enable surveys for multiple sessions or workshops at once. This tool is available under "Program Builder" > "Actions" > "Bulk Edit."

3. **Creating Consistent Surveys Across Sessions:** After the surveys are created for all sessions, create the survey questions in one session's survey form. You can then copy these fields (questions) from that survey form to all other session survey forms. This feature allows maintaining consistency of questions across many surveys.

4. **Conditional Logic Setup:** When adding conditions to survey questions:
- Not all question types support conditional (dependent) fields. For example, an input box field cannot have dependent questions, but multiple-choice fields can.
- To set conditional questions, add a condition rule to a question that depends on the answer of a "parent" question.
- Previously, only custom fields displayed as options for parents in conditions. Now, core/default fields are also shown.
- If a conditional logic question doesn't appear as expected, try deleting and recreating the parent and child conditional questions.

5. **Starting Over and Cleaning Up:** If the survey setup becomes messy:
- You can delete all existing session surveys.
- Then, save the sessions again in Program Builder to recreate surveys with default questions.
- Create one survey form with all correct questions and conditions.
- Use the option to include those questions in all other session surveys to replicate them.
- If duplicates occur, edit questions and exclude them from certain surveys as needed.

These steps help maintain a consistent survey structure with conditional logic across multiple sessions and workshops.
