How to add OPTIONS?


Add New Options

The user can add options by typing the choices one by one.


Batch Add 

The user can add options using copy paste from a list / difference source / window.

The user can also bulk upload images for the image options, and the names of these image files will automatically become the default option text and labels. However, the user retains the ability to alter the option text and label later if needed.



Add From Library 

The user can add options using the pre-determined list in the Library. Many available options are already in Text and Image format to make the survey chat more engaging to participants.



Save Options to Library 

The user can save the options you created and it will be added in the "Add From Library" drop down list

 

Piped Options

The user can insert, or "pipe," answer from a previous question into a question at a later stage in the survey. You may choose to “pipe” TEXT format answer or IMAGE format answer, and you may also choose to “pipe” from SELECTED answers or UNSELECTED answers from a previous question.


When Enable skip is toggled on and there's only ONE option gets piped in, the system will automatically select that option and skip the question.


Please see more details about Piped Options here.



(+) Others

The user can add Other responses and participants can type in and specify their answer (not in the listed option).



How can I make an exclusive answer?


(+) Not Applicable

The user can add any mutually exclusive option and edit the wording for Not Applicable (for example: None of the above) 



How to format OPTIONS?


OPTION FORMATS


The users can specify the option formats and choose from text, image and both. This setting is applicable to 


1 TEXT FORMAT



2 IMAGE FORMAT

- For image format, the labels will not be visible to participants but make sure to include the label for each option as reference on your dashboard



3 BOTH 


EDIT DESIGN

The users can edit the design for options (by clicking the button "EDIT DESIGN").


IMAGE DISPLAY

Controls the look / shape of the options displayed (circle or square)


OPTION SIZE

Controls how big or small you want the options to be displayed (for IMAGE OPTIONS only)


OPTIONS PER ROW (DESKTOP AND MOBILE)

Controls how many options showing in a row for Desktop vs Mobile

Please be aware that there's a tradeoff between the size of the image option and the number of options we can display in a row. Therefore, if you select a large image size, you will see that some numbers of options for display in a row are deactivated, as they are not feasible given the image size you have chosen.


Please note

The EDIT DESIGN feature is only applicable for Choice / Rank Order / Scale Question Types. Also the EDIT DESIGN feature is limited for the Scale Question, where you can only edit image display (circle or square). 



ADVANCED MODE FOR OPTIONS


The user can toggle this menu and apply more advanced option settings such as:


1) Modify option values/codes (by default it equals to the option position, e.g. the first option has the option value/code "1")



2) Modify option labels, which will be shown on dashboard and/or data file  (by default it equals to the option text and/or option image file name)


3) Select options to be visible or not visible to participants by clicking the branching icon (for display logic) then add option condition (For more details please go to OPTION CONDITION article).





4) Disable/enable randomization for certain options only by clicking the shuffle icon (for randomizing).



 

Note: The ADVANCED MODE is only applicable for  Choice / Rank Order / Scale / Popup Cards / Rapid Choice Question Types
