Skip Bo Hack

[Leanne Wittlin]

HeyI want to use Skip Logic by skipping any blocks in my Survey.

For example , from Block C that has question Yes -No , if I answer NO, then it will skip to Block E or more further Blocks( what ever block I want). so it will skip Block D or any in between blocks.

Presuming your question is in middle of a block. The branch logic would work only after the entire block is executed. Hence, a caution here to add display logic on questions within that block after the question you want to skip from. So it would be like this within block and within survey flow. A skip logic would work within a block not in different blocks.

Hope it helps!

Hi all I did exactly this method in the branch logic, but unwanted respondents still shows for the block. For instance if I choose Automobile manufacturer + Supply Chain, this block: electrification/business strategy shall be skipped. However, in my case it still shows up and I cannot figure out the reason why. Could you help me? @SuhasM

The blocks inside branch logic are DISPLAYED and not skipped. Therefore, based on your screenshot and the selections, the output is expected. I would recommend reading the support pages for branch logic to get more clarity.

In ODK Build, how do I create a skip logic to skip a whole number of questions (not just one) if the answer to the original question signifies that the next group of qs are not relevant, e.g. "do you have a secondary source of income?" If "yes" there will be a following 5 sub-questions, if "no", it skips these?

Please find out excel form and in this form when you will select yes in first question then that group will run otherwise whole group will skip. Below is example in excel file:

I have my gantt chart set to not show weekends not sure how to turn weekends off on calendar if possible? I have projects linked with set amounts of work days on each. How do I get them to skip over weekends when I have them linked as dependencies and adjust start end date?

This week the Timeline Weekends selection has also been applied to the Date Column on our boards. Toggling the Timeline Weekends on and off also toggles weekends available to select in the Date Column. Is this a bug or a deliberate change? We need to be able to select weekends in the Date Column and exclude them in the Timeline Column.

Hi Christine - This also happened on our account. Have you heard anything from monday.com? We reached out to support with no real answers other than to change the setting in Admin. I did so, reluctantly and am regretting it ever since.

If you are looking for a planning solution (with dependencies) skipping over weekend AND defined holiday I suggest to have a look at the SchedulerPro app (see ). The app provides a view where you can define the working days and the non-working dates. Like this:

This is really insane that this feature is not a core feature. Monday needs to step it up ASAP. Super low hanging fruit, easy to do. I am very frustrated by this, the visual real estate it takes up is alot.

Totally cool that we have multiple apps available to fix a glaring issue created by Monday, however Monday needs to fix this issue. Not hope for a third party developer to band aid over the issue. Be aware, when apps are designed to fix issues created by Monday, Monday loses the impetus to actually fix their issues.

This is where I get 100$. You are right, if I subscribe for a year instantly, I could save some money. However, like I have stated previously, I do not want to spend even more money on a software that should have had this feature from the beginning. the 300$ comes from the other apps that can do this feature.

When a dependency changes on the timeline, it potentially shifts everything else. That means, things that were not in the weekend, are now in the weekend. So now I am manually changing things to move to the following Monday. This completely defeats the purpose of automation.

Bumping this thread again to keep Monday on task. This is a easy issue to deal with and obviously people want this dealt with.

Monday continues to ignore the most basic fixes that would bring tremendous quality of life to their software.

Adding to the thread that this functionality is absolutely required for baseline project management software. We were promised this feature during sales pitches and what they have released has zero utility. We even tested above 3rd party app which is not useful (it shortens task duration instead of skipping the blocked out time) and only worked even in that capacity 25% of the time.

How often do people skip?

The first and most basic question to answer is: How often do people skip?. Given that skipping is so easy how big of a part does skipping play in our listening. The answer: A lot!

Here are the numbers. First, lets look at how often a song is skipped within the first five seconds of play. I call these quick skips. The likelihood that a song will be skipped within the first five seconds is an astounding 24.14%. Nearly one quarter of all song plays are abandoned in the first 5 seconds. The likelihood that a song will be skipped within the first thirty seconds rises to 35.05%. The chance that a song is skipped before it ends is a whopping 48.6%. Yes, the odds are only slightly better than 50/50 that a song will be played all the way to the end.

The following plot shows the skipping behavior over a 24 hour period. To create the plot, I analyzed the listening behavior for UK residents (which are conveniently confined to a single timezone) over several weeks.

In the next plot, below, the skipping rate is overlaid with normalized song plays. It is interesting to see that the highest skipping rates do not coincide with the peak music playing times of the day, but instead is aligned with the times of day when rate of change in plays is the most.

The following plot shows the average skipping rate per day of the week. The skipping rate is higher on weekends, showing, once again, that when people have more spare time, they are more apt to curate their listening sessions by skipping tracks.

I think your definition of a skip should include that the listener kept listening, so the current song was ended, but another song began playing. Otherwise you may be counting when listeners turn the player off, lose connection or what have you. Does the data cover that?

Juxtapose that with this Pew Research data showing how people spend increasingly more time listening to news & talk content as they age, likely at the expense of listening to music: -OlderListenersMakeUpOneThirdOfNewsTalkInformationAudiences2.png

In pre-digital times, music media was not designed for easy skipping, as with your vinyl example. Radio could be skipped only by changing stations. So not only is skipping facilitated today, but listeners have shorter attention spans and are impatient and perceive that they are very busy. Though we theoretically have more leisure time, we feel that we have less. People may skip frequently for the same reason that they multitask: for example, many people today have difficulty sitting through even an excellent feature film without playing with their handheld device(s), sometimes for the greater part of the film. I do not see this as a positive trend as generally the drive to skip before giving the artist a chance to offer his work as well as inattention to a work of cinema only serves to shift the concentration to another subject of little if any consequence (e.g., Facebook).

Excellent post. I would be interested to know if the skip rate is at all influenced by time subscribing to the service. Do new listeners of the service skip more often (as their new ability to skip is still a novelty feature to be tested) and does this behaviour slow down over time? Is there a point where long-term subscribers eventually tire of skipping and start to just listen to the music?

It would be more useful to understand how skipping behavior is distributed across the entire population of Spotify users. In other words, what percentage of the population skips 0-9% of song plays, what percentage skips 10-19%, etc? And for each of these ranges, what is the median number of songs played? This is important because the more songs someone skips, the more songs they can skip. Suppose you have 1 hour a day when you can listen to Spotify and all songs are 2 minutes each. If you never skip, you can listen to a maximum of 30 songs. At the other extreme, within that same hour, you can skip 1200 songs after 3 seconds each.

So knowing how big each of these segments are is critical in terms of understanding Spotify usage. It could be that the heavy skipper segment is relatively small and that the light skipper segment is much bigger. Or not. But the key to doing any kind of meaningful analysis is to understand the relative size of these skipper segments.

Findings from the Clouds & Concerts research project at the University of Oslo on WiMP Music data in Norway show some similar skipping trends (which we have presented at the by:Larm festival in 2013 and 2014, cf. pdf: ).

Any insight into album / sequential listening patterns in Spotify would be very welcome here on the blog! My hunch is that there is a higher hit focus in Spotify, due to an increased focus on playlists rather than albums in the UI, and Spotify being more algorithm driven than curated service. But I would not be surprised if many Spotify users also explore music through the album.

Interesting thought. But Back then, as you said, we had to get up to click the LP, with means we where at home, relaxed on the sofa. The example you gave its about portable music, i dont see a link between those too.

For over a month know I get the message that my skip limit has been reached . . .this is frustrating because my great relaxing music somehow always morphs into heavier and heavier music finally culminating into thrash and it won't let me bypass it so I end up having to change the station completely.
