SurveyMR 2.0 supports various different question types, including allowing media to be used within questions.
Not sure what all the question types are? Click here to view a contextual example for each.
To create a question, you will first need to add a form from the ‘Page’ menu on the left-hand side of the build tab. To do this, click on the ‘form’ box and drag and drop this into the canvas area.
To create a question, from the ‘Form’ box in your canvas, select the edit icon in the top right-hand corner or select the ‘+ Add Questions’ option.
Multiple questions can be added to a single form allowing longer surveys to require fewer overall forms. One form equates to one page within your survey.
The available question types in the SurveyMR 2.0 tool are:
- Information
- Single Choice
- Multiple Choice
- Text
- Scale
- Grid – Single Choice
- Grid – Multiple Choice
- Number Range
- Ranking
- Constant Sum
- Card Sort – Select
- Card Sort – Categorise
- Card Sort – Associate
- Video Booth
- Net Promoter Score
- Personal Data
- Semantic Differential
- Date
Once your question type is selected you can then add the question text and answer options to your question.
Within the question box you are able to alter and change the basic text formatting as well as add in other formatting such as images, hyperlinks and videos in to your question text.
If you are copying your survey text into SurveyMR 2.0 from a word document and you have multiple answers, you don’t need to create an answer box per option. If you format the answers so that each one is on a new line, you can copy all options in at once into the first box and this will split them out for you.
When adding your answers, you can also add features to these to ensure that users interact with your questions exactly as intended. These features are highlighted below and are shown after the answer options, depending on the features activated.
Set as custom – This feature allows you to collect a text response as a follow up to the answer. Perfect for questions with an ‘Other, please specify’ answer option
Make exclusive – This feature fixes this answer as exclusive and ensures that when a user selects this, all other answers are unselected.
Set as pinned – Setting an answer as pinned fixes the location of your answer option when they are set to randomised order. This is great for a ‘None of the above’ answer option.
Answer Ordering - These arrows allow you to change the order of the answers shown. Answer options can also be ordered by dragging and dropping them to arrange as desired.
Delete answer - Removes an answer option
Once you have the desired answers and settings in place, you can select from 3 options to choose how they appear to members. Do this by using the settings pictured below, found below the last answer option in the list.
Radio – This will display the answer list in a column, and is ideal for questions with a shorter number of answer options, or for cases where you wish to display all available options to a user at once.
Dropdown – This will display answers in a single dropdown box, which users can click into and select their answer(s) from. This can be useful for maximizing available space on the survey page, and is idea for short or medium-length answer lists.
Type to Filter - This will offer users a box to begin typing their answer, which will then be auto-populated based on the answer options available. This is ideal for long or very long lists of answer options, such as lists of countries/counties etc.
Once your question is saved within your form there are multiple options available for editing:
Edit – Allows you to make further edits and changes to your survey.
Duplicate – Duplicates this question exactly
Move – Lets you move this question to a new form (once you click the icon, you will be able to select the form you would like to move the question to)
Delete - Removes the whole question
Once you have added in your question/s you can click the submit button and continue to add further forms and branch logic to your survey.
