How to set up a Choice Question?

Main use:

Using a standard choice question, participants can select one or several answers from a list. This question type includes both single choice and multiple choice questions. 

How to set up in the platform:

1. In the Questionnaire Builder page, add new question OR insert new question by hovering over an existing question and click the green (+) button (either above or below the existing question)

2. Select Choice from the popup menu that appears.

3. Write your question number or label in the upper box and write your question in the Question Text Box.

4. Add the participants' choices using the Options and Options Settings:

- If adding options by typing choices one by one, click on Add New Options

- If adding options using copy paste from a list, click on Batch Add

- You can also add options using the pre-determined list in the Library, using Add From Library

- You can also save the options you created and click Save Options to Library (and it will be added in the Add From Library drop down list)

- If adding options from an existing question, toggle on PIPED OPTIONS

- To add a mutually exclusive option, you can select (+) Not Applicable and edit the wording for Not Applicable (for example: None of the above)

- To add Other responses click on (+) Other, Specify and participants can type in and specify their answer (not in the listed option)

- See more details here for ADDING OPTIONS. 

5. To make the question into a multiple choice, click on SELECT MULTIPLE in the OPTION SETTINGS and you can select the least number of allowed response (left) and maximum number of (right) allowed response.

6. If you want to randomize response to shuffle the choices (and to avoid response bias), click on RANDOMIZE. This will display the options in a random order instead of the order you added them in.
