Logic Jumps in Data Validation for Every Hire Customer
Data Validation forms can skip questions or end early based on a recruiter's answers.
Data Validation forms asked every question on every move, even when an earlier answer made the rest irrelevant, which slowed recruiters down on long forms.
What's new
Set up logic jumps — open a saved validation in Data Validation settings and click Configure logic jumps, the same builder used for Data Collection logic jumps.
Route on the answer — a rule on a dropdown or multiple-choice question checks whether the answer includes the options you pick, other question types route once answered, and Otherwise, go to sends everything else to the next question unless you choose another.
Skip ahead or end the form — a rule jumps to a later question or to Exit Form, which saves the answers and completes the move.
One question at a time — validations with jumps step through questions with Back and Next, and skipped questions are not asked.
Same data — answers save to the same data keys, and moving an applicant back into the stage pre-fills earlier answers.
Why it matters
Recruiters answer only the questions that apply to each applicant, so long validations take less time.
What to expect
Nothing changes until an admin adds a jump, and validations without jumps keep the single-screen form. Jumps work on both opening-level and workflow-level validations. A validation needs at least three questions to use logic jumps, and the last question can't have one. Data Validation forms are not shown in Hire Go.
