Computerization has allowed branching and other logic to be integrated
into questionnaire administration. The primary purpose of this invention
is to allow the functionality and power of these processes to be easily
created, and more importantly, customized by users of data collection
systems. Rather than one set of logic applying to all users, this
invention can be integrated into any computerized questionnaire
application and generates a plurality of individualized questionnaires.
The system allows and limits each user's customization of logic rules
while providing transparent integration that allows different users to
select the same questionnaire or battery of questionnaires, but receive
overlapping, yet different questions and logic.
