Topic: Survey setup
The contest or newsletter question is a question type used to collect participation data for contests or newsletter sign-ups.
It enables both anonymous data collection and the validation of required fields, terms of participation, and formats.
This allows the collected data to be reliably used for participation analysis or marketing purposes.
Settings and options of the sweepstake / newsletter question type:
Collect data separately and anonymously for the survey
If you enable this option, the specified data will be collected separately and cannot be linked to the other responses (anonymous survey).
In the results, the data is also displayed in random order, making it impossible to identify individual respondents.
WARNING: This setting cannot be undone!
Ask for the participant’s gender
This option allows you to ask for the participant’s gender or title.
Text field for terms and conditions
If you enable this option, you can display the terms and conditions directly in the question and make them visible to the participant.
Terms and Conditions
Must Be Accepted If this option is enabled, the participant must agree to the terms and conditions to enter the contest or subscribe to the newsletter.
Required question
This option allows you to designate the question as required. The participant must answer the question before proceeding to the next page of the survey.
Help Icon (Tooltip)
This allows you to display help text or additional information behind a help icon next to the question title.
“No Answer” Option
This option is particularly useful if the question has been defined as a required question. It allows the participant to “answer” the question even if they do not wish to provide any information, and to continue with the survey.
Validate text fields
This option allows you to check text responses for specific formats or input requirements.
Possible validations:
Upload an Image
You can place an image directly within the question.
Advantage: The image can be displayed between the question and the answer choices, in addition to the standard image upload in the questionnaire.
Additionally, you can adjust the image’s alignment, specify its position (above or below the question title), and assign an ALT attribute, which is important for survey accessibility.
