Overview

FromUsers gives you several ways to control what each participant sees and in what order. Options in the builder look similar, but they solve different research problems.

This section explains:

• The three randomisation modes (none, shuffle order, present a subset)
• Page-level vs section-level randomisation
• Study groups (named A/B/C assignment for results) vs anonymous random sampling
• Display logic for URL, device, answers, and other conditions
• Compare assets for prototype tests
• Recipes for common experiment designs

What are you trying to do?

Your goal	What to use	Where in the builder
Everyone sees the same pages in a fixed order	No randomisation	Path Logic → Randomiser
Counterbalance order (reduce order bias)	Randomise order	Path Logic → Randomiser
Shorten the study — each person sees K of N items	Present a subset	Path Logic → Randomiser
A/B or multivariate test with named groups in results	Present a subset + Randomisation groups	Path Logic → Randomiser (subset mode)
Route by URL param (?variant=B), device, sample, or answers	Display logic	Path Logic → Display Logic
Show different prototypes per group	Compare assets	Page/section settings or Assets
Jump between paths after answers	Branching logic	Path Logic → Branching

If two rows seem to fit, read Study groups vs random sample — that is the most common source of confusion.

Study structure

Concept	What it is	Randomisation applies to
Page	One screen before the participant clicks Next	Page-level randomiser affects content blocks on that page
Content block	A question or content item on a page	Can be shown/hidden by block display logic or study groups
Section	A group of pages in the sidebar	Section randomiser affects pages or subsections inside that section
Subsection	A nested group inside a section (one level deep)	Treated as a unit when randomising at subsection level

Tips:

• Keep the Thank you page outside randomised sections so every participant has a clear exit.
• A section cannot randomise both direct pages and subsections at the same time — use one structure or the other.
• Subsection randomisation requires at least two subsections.

Path Logic tabs — quick reference

Tab	Purpose
Randomiser	None / shuffle / subset for pages, subsections, or blocks
Display Logic	Show or hide based on variables, answers, URL, device
Branching	After answers, jump to another page or section
Compare assets	Swap prototype by group or condition (usability tests)

For variables, formulas, and piping, see Conditional logic and variables.
