Question type: Variable


With the variable question function you can shape a question according to your own ideas. The variable question contains several elements you can combine.

Possible answer elements:
- Singleline text field (scalable in width)
- Dropdown menu with numbers (number of choices adjustable)
- Dropdown menu with text (free text content entering)
- Radio buttons - the participant has to choose only one answer (content adjustable)
- Check boxes - multiple answers can be selected (content adjustable)



Settings and options of the variable question type:

Required question
This allows you to declare the issue as a mandatory question. The participant has to answer to this question before he can move on to the next page.

Randomizing
If you select this option the answer choices for each participant are displayed in random order.

Additional text box under the question
With this option you can place a text box directly below the question, e.g. for comments. The text field can be defined freely in its width and row height.

Help icon (tooltip)
With this option, help texts or further information can be placed behind a help icon next to the question title.

“no statement” button to not answer the question
This option is useful if you have a mandatory question. It allows the participants to continue the survey, even if they don't want to give an answer.

Validate text boxes
With the option „Validate text boxes“ you can predefine the format for entering of text answers. Possible formats are
  • Character length
  • Integer
  • Decimal number
  • Date
  • Email
  • Website URL

Upload Image
In addition to uploading an image directly into the questionnaire, you can also upload an image into the question. The advantage is, that you can place an image between the question line and the answer options.
