Choose

  • Add page break: Allows dividing the survey into several pages, facilitating navigation and preventing participants from seeing all questions at once.
  • Captcha: Adds a verification system to ensure that the survey is not being completed by a bot. Generally, the user is asked to enter a code or solve a small visual task.
  • Multiple choice: Allows participants to select one or several response options. It can be configured to allow only one response or multiple responses.
  • Multiple choice (rated): Similar to the previous option, but with the possibility of assigning values to each response option, which allows calculating averages or performing more detailed analyses.
  • Information: It is not a question, but a text block that can be used to provide instructions, context, or any other relevant information within the survey.
  • Short text response: Allows participants to enter a brief response, generally limited to a few words or one line of text.
  • Long text response: Similar to the previous option, but without character limit, allowing more extensive and detailed responses.
  • Numeric response: Asks the participant to enter a number as a response. It can be configured to accept only values within a specific range.
  • Text and media area: Allows participants to write long responses and add multimedia elements such as images, videos, or links.
