Compare assets
Compare assets (asset display logic) assigns which prototype a participant sees on a page or section in a usability test.
It does not control which pages appear — that is Section randomisation or Display logic.
What compare assets controls
Section titled “What compare assets controls”| Feature | Controls |
|---|---|
| Section/page Randomiser | Which pages, subsections, or blocks appear |
| Compare assets | Which prototype appears on a page that is already visible |
They combine: a participant might be assigned to Group B (section randomisation), land on Page 2, and see Prototype B (compare assets).
Drivers
Section titled “Drivers”| Driver | Use when |
|---|---|
| Randomisation variable | Random A/B prototype assignment with balanced groups |
| Condition | Prototype depends on URL, sample, answers, or another variable |
Configure on a page or section that has prototypes attached. You can create a randomisation variable inline or reuse an existing one — the same pattern as Randomisation groups.
Setup steps
Section titled “Setup steps”- Add prototypes in Assets & Media
- Assign a prototype to a page in Build
- Open Path Logic → Compare assets on that page or section
- Choose driver (randomisation or condition)
- Map each group value to a prototype
- Set fallback behaviour if no rule matches
Compare assets vs study groups
Section titled “Compare assets vs study groups”Both can use randomisation variables with named groups, but they solve different problems:
| Randomisation groups | Compare assets | |
|---|---|---|
| Changes | Which pages/blocks/subsections show | Which prototype shows |
| Study types | Surveys and usability tests | Usability tests (prototype pages) |
| Typical use | Different task flows or question sets | Same task, different designs |
You can use both in one study: randomisation groups pick the task path; compare assets picks the prototype on that path.
Participant groups (wizard)
Section titled “Participant groups (wizard)”The usability test creation wizard Groups step can define groups upfront. These work with compare assets, randomisation variables, and display logic.
