Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a disqualification page in SurveyMonkey.

‍

Adding a disqualification page in SurveyMonkey is a common practice to screen respondents who don’t meet specific criteria for your survey. Here’s how to do it:

‍

Go to the survey that you want to add a disqualification page and click the ellipsis icon next to its title.
From the drop-down menu, select 'Edit survey'.
Go to the 'Design Survey' tab in SurveyMonkey and select the screening question you created.
Click on the screening question to edit it.
Look for the option labeled 'LOGIC' and click on it.
If the answer is no, click the option to send the respondent to the 'Disqualification Page.
After setting the skip logic to a disqualification page, click 'SAVE'.
Click 'Preview survey'.
By following these steps, you can efficiently add a disqualification page to your SurveyMonkey survey to ensure only qualified respondents proceed.

📌 Why this matters

Setting up disqualification pages lets you automatically filter out respondents who don't match your target criteria, saving you from manually sifting through irrelevant responses later.

Beyond just screening, this creates a more professional experience for participants who get disqualified—rather than confusing them by continuing with questions that don't apply, you can redirect them to a polite thank-you message explaining why they don't qualify. This prevents frustrated respondents from submitting incomplete or random answers just to finish, which would contaminate your data quality.
