Yes / No Question


A Yes/No question is a closed-ended question in which participants choose between two possible answers: “Yes” or “No.”

It is particularly well-suited for eliciting simple expressions of agreement or disagreement and provides clear, easily analyzable results.

Optionally, you can integrate additional features, such as required responses, a text field for comments, a help icon, or internal values for later analysis.

Settings and options for the Yes/No question


Display answers as a drop-down menu
This option displays the answer choices (Yes/No) in a drop-down list.


Answers Horizontally / Answers Vertically
Use this to specify whether the answer choices are displayed side by side or one below the other.


Visual cues
Instead of text, “Yes” and “No” can be replaced with icons. This option is only available if “Display answers as a drop-down menu” is not selected.


Required question
This setting marks the question as required. Participants must answer the question before proceeding to the next page of the survey.


Help Icon (Tooltip)
You can place help text or additional information behind a help icon next to the question title.


Additional text
Field Below the Question This allows you to provide a text field for notes or comments directly below the question. You can freely define the size and number of lines for the text field.


“No Answer” Option
This option is useful if the question is defined as a required question. It allows participants to skip the question without interrupting the survey.


Internal value
You can use an internal value to replace participants’ responses with any numbers or codes in the export (Excel, CSV, SPSS).

Example:
Yes = 1
No = 2

This makes it easier to process the data later. The internal value can be set or adjusted at any time—both when creating the question and after the survey has been conducted.


Upload image
You can place an image directly within the question.

Advantage: The image can be displayed between the question and the answer options, in addition to the standard image upload in the questionnaire.

Additionally, you can adjust the image’s orientation, set its position (above or below the question title), and assign an ALT attribute, which is important for survey accessibility.


Select specific respondents (Filter/Jump)
This feature allows you to guide respondents through the survey using filters or jumps. This option becomes available only after the question has been created.

First, save the question. Then, hover your mouse pointer over the question — the “Filter” button will then appear.
