AN IMPORTANT NOTE ON FORCING SURVEY BLOCKS TO BE COMPLETED THAT ARE PLACED UNDER THE TABLE OF CONTENTS ELEMENT IN YOUR SURVEY FLOW…

The Table of Contents element within the Survey Flow of your Qualtrics project is a powerful tool but there is an important thing to remember if you have a bunch of blocks with required fields, and when you want most, if not all, of those required fields and blocks answered before the survey is marked as complete:

*****MAKE SURE the ‘Add Table of Contents conclusion page’ option under the TOC options is checked if you want to enforce blocks are completed before the survey is marked as complete ******

If the ‘Add Table of Contents conclusion page’ option under the TOC options is not checked then it does not matter that you have the ‘Force respondent to finish the block’ option checked for your blocks under the Table of Contents, users can skip to the last block and only fill out that one block and end the survey (skipping the rest of the blocks all together but the survey will be marked as complete).
