Configure a question’s dependencies
About this task

- After selecting an individual question in the navigation panel, click the Dependent On link under Go to on the question’s home page.
You can define any number of questions on which a selected question is dependent. If the applicant answers all of the dependent questions with the values specified in the Dependent On page, PolicyCenter displays the question you are currently configuring. The Dependent On feature enables you to display follow-up questions that appear only when specific answers have been specified. The dependent on and dependent question can be of any question type.

- Repeat step 1 to step 3 to add more dependent questions. The question you are configuring appears only if the answers the user enters for all questions match exactly the answers you supply on the Dependent On page.
