Questions
An insight into every question type available
There are four types of questions that can be added to your form; Select, Ranking, Open and Special Functions. Every question type has its own page in this help guide describing how it works, the question specific settings and explaining some use cases. A brief description is displayed next to the question type below.
All question types available have three standard options you can add to them:
Section Heading: Edit the text displayed before a question to signify a new grouping or title. The question must be on a new page for this title to appear.
Display a Division Bar: Display a horizontal line after the question which is used as a divider between questions. This is often used to group sets of questions together and it can be styled from the 'Appearance' settings
Force a Reply for this Question: Enable the mandatory completion of this question. In 'List View', click on the asterisk within the 'Force' column to enable this option
By default, required questions are marked by an asterisk ( * ) on the form to the respondents.
If a required question is not answered, they will not be able to advance to the next page until they answer the question within the requirements. When you look at your results, you may notice that some respondents skipped required questions. This could mean that decision logic skipped them past the question.
If you have a multi page form, the question that is placed as the last one on the form will have a 'Jump to' feature. It is similar to the 'Decision' question type, but any question type can have this feature if placed as the last one on a page, This can be used when respondents don't need to fill out every question on a large form.
Jump to: Select the page number you want the respondent to go to.
Next Button Label: Edit the label for the 'Next' button on the specific page
