Beyond adding questions, you can fine‑tune how each one behaves. With advanced question settings, you can require answers, add instructions, score responses, or control how answer choices appear. These options help you reduce bias, keep answers relevant, and improve the quality of your data.
Question Options
Required: A required question setting ensures that respondents must answer a particular question before they can proceed further in the survey. This is useful for ensuring the completeness of responses.
Instruction: Add explanatory text beneath questions to provide additional context or instructions.
Question Settings
Score
Assigns weighted values to different answer options, allowing you to quantify responses based on importance. This feature enables immediate analysis by automatically calculating participant scores according to your predefined criteria.
Follow-Up Question
When activated, this feature automatically displays an additional open-ended question after the respondent makes their selection. Perfect for gathering deeper insights, such as "Why did you choose this option?" or "Please explain your rating" without creating separate questions.
Randomize
Randomizing options helps in eliminating bias that may arise due to the position of a question or answer choice. It ensures each respondent sees questions or options in a different sequence, reducing order effects.
Stacked
Stacking options into a single column format allows for presenting multiple items vertically within a question. This layout is useful for conserving space and maintaining visual clarity, especially when dealing with long lists of options.
Other Specify
Toggle the "Other" option to allow respondents to input their own custom answer when the provided choices don't match their response. This creates a text field where they can type their specific answer.
Note: If you simply want "Other" as a standard choice without allowing respondents to specify what "Other" means, don't enable this feature. Instead, just add a regular answer choice labeled "Other" to your list of options.
Multiple Answers (Min/Max)
Allow respondents to select multiple options from a single question while maintaining control over their responses. You can set minimum requirements (e.g., "Select at least 2") and maximum limits (e.g., "Choose up to 3") to ensure you get precisely the data structure you need.
None of the above
Sometimes, respondents might not find any of the provided options suitable. This option allows them to explicitly indicate that none of the provided choices apply to them.
All of the above
In contrast to "None of the Above," this option allows respondents to select all the provided options if they find that multiple choices apply to them. It's useful for questions where multiple options may be relevant.
Default Answer
Pre-select specific answer options that will appear chosen when respondents first view the question. This can save time for common responses, establish baseline selections, or guide respondents toward expected answer patterns while still allowing them to change selections if needed.
Bulk Choices
You also have the option to input all the answer choices in bulk at once, saving you the need to enter them individually. This feature is particularly useful for surveys with numerous answer choices.
Use advanced question settings anytime you need more control over individual questions. Whether you’re scoring, randomizing, or adding instructions, these tools make your survey easier for respondents and more reliable for analysis.
