Unsure which Question Type you need? Instead of selecting a question type from the dropdown menu, click the blue button labelled View Question Examples to see a visual representation of how the different question types can look, or if you're still unsure, check out our Understanding Question Types help guide

Using Pre-Made Answers

You can pre-populate the answer field with pre-made answers to save time when creating a survey. Pre-made answers can be edited and customised once you have selected them.

1. In the Add Question pop-up window, after selecting Question Type and adding your question, locate the "Answer Template" drop-down.
2. In the Answer Template drop-down menu, select the pre-made answer list you want to use
   • Some of these answer templates allow for a variable number of points on the scale, so choose the level of granularity you want via the Scale drop-down.
3. The field is dynamically populated with the pre-made answers that you have selected
4. Use the buttons below the answer choices box to reverse the order of the options or to sort them alphabetically.
   • Note: Any order set in this way will be overidden by using the randomisation function in the question options.
5. You can still edit the answers if you require.
6. Click  Save Question

Hiding a Question
