I am new to ODK & am looking to create *'child surveys'/'branches'* in my survey - or something to this effect (that is what they are called in Dooblo, the program I was using). In *english* I would say that I need certain answers/choices would follow different paths. Aside from all the research I've done into this, I am totally clueless as to what I need to use.
Complicated explanation:
I have a *Main Survey(1)* which will have basic questions such as date, time, name & the last question would be something like "Which inspection would you like to perform" > answers: *"inspection, plumbing, retail desks"* etc. Upon selection of one of those *answers *a *child survey(2)* would open. On occasion I would have another *child survey(3)* interrupt and open, for instance this would occur if one of the questions answers might be "needs maintenance" and then would need to open an 'incident correction form' where the user must complete this *survey(3)* & upon completion it would need to go back to *child survey(2)* so the user can finish it.
I hope this is clear.. I have attached my *main survey (conquest)* and an example of a *child survey (toilet_male)*. I am curious to know if it is possible to add a command to one of my 'choices' and then paste my *child survey* below the *main survey* and the command would direct it to skip a series of rows.
I hope that someone will be able to guide me towards what I am looking for

Check out the skipping questions section in the XLSForm documentation<http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/xlsform/> . You can create a group (which is sort of like a child survey), and you can make it so the group only appears if the formula in the "relevant" column is true. If your want a group to appear depending on the value of a select you would use a formula like this: selected(${previous_question_name}, 'choice') Let us know if that does what you had in mind. Hope this helps, -Nathan

Hi Nathan, Hoping you would have some insight to the following
I am now using groups to divide the information but I am stuck where I have a group *within* a group and am looking for a way that I can achieve the same results but not need to repeat my group in between each question.
I have attached my excel doc & highlighted in blue the part which I wish to condense.
Do you know of a way that I could shorten this? (I will have about 30 questions/group (about 20 groups) so it would be great to not have to repeat it all as this group (highlighted blue) is the same for each question.

You could potentially use a repeat. However, you would need to reorganize your survey in a way that might not be to your liking (see the attached form for an example). Copying and pasting might be the better option. Regards, -Nathan
