How can I add different paths and buttons in the SMOC Studio?
Category: Configurator
You can add buttons directly inside a node (for example in a Survey Question node), or create a Link Message node for URL redirects.
- Open or create the node you want to edit.
- Click Add element in the editor panel.
- Choose button if you want selectable answer buttons.
- Enter the button label in the Survey answer / button text field.
If you want to send users to a URL:
- Create a Link Message node.
- Fill in Link URL.
- Set the visible label in Link text.
- (Optional) enable Open Graph if you want a preview card instead of a simple link.
Structuring Different Paths
Paths let you build straight flows, branches, and loops based on user interaction.
Single Direction Paths
A single direction path keeps the flow consistent regardless of user input.
- Use one outgoing connection from the node to the next node.
Decision Tree Paths
A decision tree branches based on selected answers.
- Create a Survey Question node with multiple answer buttons.
- In the canvas, use the outgoing handles at the bottom of the node (one per answer).
- Click the + under a specific handle to create and connect the next node for that answer.
- Repeat for each answer to build separate branches.
