What question types can I use in a survey?

The question types in the survey builder, how to add them, and how a Date selector works.

For: Owners, and admins whose role includes Surveys edit access

Question types decide how people answer each question. You pick them in the survey builder.

Steps

  1. Open the builder. Click Attachments, then Surveys, then Create Survey. See How do I create a survey?

  2. Pick a type. Drag a question type into the Questions area. Choose from Short Text, Long Text, Single Choice, Multiple Choice, Rating, Schedule or Date selector.

  3. Type the question. For choice questions, click + next to Options to add each answer.

  4. Set it to required or optional. Questions are required by default. Click Required on a question to turn that off.

Good to know

  • Single Choice lets people pick one answer. Multiple Choice lets them pick more than one.

  • For a Date selector, you pick past, future or both. You pick 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. You pick how many dates people can choose, or leave it unlimited.

  • In the Responses table, a Date selector shows one column for each month in its date range.

  • A Schedule question is for availability. Its export has one row for each day.
