Advanced Survey Logic & Version Control

Use Mazetec's 'maze' as an intelligent container to deliver multiple surveys with conditional routing, version control, and complex logic. Build consent flows, demographic routing, pre/post assessment sequences, and adaptive survey paths—all managed in one unified experience.

Maze Container = Survey Logic Engine
Start
Consent Survey v2.1
Version locked
IF consent = No
Exit
IF consent = Yes
Demographics
IF role = Student
Student Survey (latest)
Complete
One container, unlimited survey logic

Surveys + Logic = Powerful Research Tool

Most survey platforms give you one survey with basic branching. Mazetec gives you a container (the "maze") that can hold multiple surveys, control which versions to use, route between them based on responses, and deliver complex multi-stage research protocols.

Multi-survey sequences — Consent → Demographics → Survey A → Survey B in one flow
Version control per survey — Lock to specific version or always use "latest"
Conditional routing between surveys — Route based on ANY prior response
Reusable survey components — Use same consent form across 20 mazes
Unified analytics — Track entire journey, not just individual surveys

Complex Research Made Simple

Academic Research Protocol

1
Informed Consent Form

IRB-approved consent (locked to v3.2 for audit trail)

IF consent declined → End with thank you message
2
Demographic Screener

Age, gender, education level

IF under 18 → Disqualify (ethics requirement)
IF qualified → Continue to treatment group assignment
3
Random Treatment Assignment

System assigns participant to Control or Treatment group

IF Control → Survey Version A
IF Treatment → Survey Version B
4
Post-Study Debrief

Explain study purpose, provide resources

Result: IRB-compliant multi-stage research protocol in one deliverable

Employee Feedback System

1
Department & Role Survey

Identify department, role level, tenure

Routes to department-specific questions
2
Core Satisfaction Survey

Universal questions (latest version always used)

All employees see same questions
3
Department-Specific Follow-up

Targeted questions based on Step 1

IF Sales → Sales-specific survey
IF Engineering → Engineering-specific survey
IF Manager → Additional leadership questions
4
Action Planning (Optional)

If satisfaction score < 7, offer to provide specific feedback

Result: Personalized feedback experience for 1,000+ employees

Survey Version Control: Why It Matters

Locked to Specific Version

Choose when you need consistency across all responses, even if the survey is updated later.

Example:

"Consent Form v3.2" — IRB-approved version. Even if you update the consent form to v3.3 later, this maze will ALWAYS use v3.2 for audit compliance.

Use for: Compliance, research, audited processes

Always Use "Latest" Version

Choose when you want the maze to automatically use the most recent version of a survey whenever someone starts.

Example:

"Customer Satisfaction Survey (latest)" — You improve the survey weekly. Every new participant automatically gets the newest version without updating the maze.

Use for: Iterative improvement, ongoing feedback collection

Build Once, Use Everywhere

Reusable Survey Components
Consent Form v3.2
Used in 23 mazes
Demographics Survey
Used in 45 mazes
Satisfaction NPS
Used in 67 mazes
Benefit: Update the consent form once → all 23 mazes instantly get the update (if using "latest")

What You Can Do with Multi-Survey Containers

Conditional Survey Routing

Send participants to Survey A or Survey B based on their answers to ANY previous question in the flow.

Example: "IF age > 65 → Senior survey, ELSE → General survey"
Parallel Survey Branches

Create multiple paths where participants see different survey sequences based on treatment groups, demographics, or screening criteria.

Example: Control group → Survey A, Treatment group → Survey B
Time-Delayed Survey Sequences

Pause between surveys with instructional content, videos, or scenario nodes before continuing to next survey.

Example: Pre-test → Training module → Post-test
Consent & Compliance Flows

Enforce consent, screening, and eligibility checks before allowing access to main survey content.

Example: Must accept terms AND be 18+ to proceed
Unified Journey Analytics

Track entire participant journey across multiple surveys: completion rates, drop-off points, time spent, and response correlations.

Example: See where most participants abandon multi-stage process
Custom Experience Per Path

Different branding, instructions, and feedback messages for different survey paths within same container.

Example: Student path has casual tone, Executive path is formal

No Survey Platform Offers True Multi-Survey Container Model

SurveyMonkey: ⚠️ Has basic survey logic but no multi-survey containers or version control

Typeform: ❌ One survey at a time, no container concept

Google Forms: ❌ Basic branching only, no multi-survey flows

Qualtrics: ⚠️ Has "blocks" but not true multi-survey version control or reusable components across projects

Interactive Node Types & Platform Features

Mazetec scenarios use specialized node types that you connect together to create branching decision paths. Enhance your scenarios with powerful platform features like timers, scoring, video, and certificates.

7 Core Node Types

Connect these node types together to build interactive scenarios

Decision Branch (Scene Node)

The foundation of your scenarios. Present content with multiple choice decision points that branch the story. Add 2-10 choices with custom labels and consequences. Pipe responses forward or use Open Choice for crowd-sourced input.

Example: "What do you do next?" with 4 options
Hint Nodes

Provide guidance without giving away the answer. Connect a hint for reflection, pause the timer, and return participants to the previous decision point to make a better choice.

Example: "Consider the safety protocols before deciding"
Form & Survey Nodes

Embed complete surveys at any point in your scenario. Add pre and post assessments or ask open-ended questions like "Why did you choose that?" Collect data, score responses, and branch based on answers.

Example: Pre-assessment before training module
Warning Nodes

Poor choices have consequences! Link poor choices to a warning and send participants back to make a better decision. Subtract time or points to show the impact of their choice.

Example: "That choice could be harmful. Try again." -5 points
Fail Nodes

Some choices are unacceptable. Reaching a Fail node ends the simulation but presents the option to restart or redirect. Build in multiple Fail outcomes or reuse the same one across scenarios.

Example: Critical error - scenario ends, restart offered
Finish Nodes

A successful Finish node ends the scenario and allows participants to continue in your course or redirects to another site. Display final score, time, and completion status.

Example: "Training complete! Final score: 85%"
Conditional Logic Nodes

If this, jump to that! Build dynamic logical conditions using variables (text matching, points, time, and more) with logical operators to route participants to new branches when conditions are met.

Example: IF score > 80, skip to advanced module

Powerful Platform Features

Add these capabilities to your nodes and scenarios

Timers

Add countdown timers to any node or the entire scenario. Create urgency with time bonuses or penalties. Perfect for crisis training.

Scoring System

Award or deduct points based on choices. Track cumulative score throughout the scenario. Display leaderboards.

Video & Media

Embed YouTube, Vimeo, or uploaded videos. Add images, audio files, and rich media content within any node.

Certificates

Auto-generate branded PDF certificates upon completion. Custom templates with score, name, and date merge fields.

Randomization

Randomly route participants down different paths. Great for A/B testing, variation, or simulating unpredictable outcomes.

Rich Text Content

Format text with bold, italics, lists, and colors. Add images, videos, and embedded content within nodes.

Payment Collection

Collect payments via PayPal before allowing access to content. Monetize training or premium scenarios.

Immediate Feedback

Provide instant feedback on choices within any node. Explain why an answer was correct or incorrect.

Example: Complete Training Scenario

1
Start: Welcome video + instructions
↓
2
Form Node: Pre-assessment survey (10 questions)
↓
3
Conditional: IF score < 70%, show remedial content
Score ≥ 70%
Skip to Module 2
Score < 70%
Remedial Module
↓
4
Video Node: Training video (5 min)
↓
5
Decision: Scenario-based question with 4 choices
↓
↓
7
Form Node: Post-assessment survey (same 10 questions)
↓
8
Certificate: Generate completion certificate with score

Why Node Variety Matters

Higher Engagement

Mix of media types (text, video, interactive) keeps participants engaged. Static content = 40% drop-off. Interactive scenarios = 85% completion.

Better Learning Outcomes

Active learning through decision-making improves retention 3x vs. passive reading. Immediate feedback reinforces correct behaviors.

Maximum Flexibility

Build exactly what you need: simple quiz, complex training sim, research protocol, or storytelling experience. One platform, unlimited possibilities.

Build Interactive Experiences Beyond Simple Surveys

Version-Specific Links

Create unique links for different versions of the same survey. Test changes with a subset of users before full deployment.

  • Gradual rollouts
  • Test group isolation
One-Time Access Links

Generate single-use links that expire after one response. Perfect for panel management and preventing duplicate responses.

  • Unique per respondent
  • Automatic expiration
  • Fraud prevention
Tagged Links

Add tags to links to track distribution channels. Know which marketing campaign, email, or source each response came from.

  • Channel attribution
  • Campaign tracking
  • Source analysis
Link Analytics

Every link tracks:

  • Total clicks vs. completions
  • Average completion time
  • Drop-off rates by question
  • Device and location data
  • Referral sources
URL Parameters

Pass custom data through URL parameters:

  • User IDs from your system
  • Pre-fill demographic data
  • Custom tracking codes
  • Referral information
  • Any metadata you need

Trace Results Back to Everything

Matrix Questions Done Right

Most survey tools export matrix questions as a single column mess. We did the hard work to export them properly.

Each matrix row becomes its own variable. Each column gets proper value coding. Your data imports directly into SPSS or R with no cleanup required. This alone saves hours of data wrangling.

Trace Results Back to Everything

Every response includes complete provenance tracking:

  • Survey version used
  • Distribution link clicked
  • URL parameters passed
  • Access timestamp
  • Completion duration
  • Device & browser info
  • Geographic location (if enabled)
  • Custom tags and identifiers

Built for Team Collaboration
