Survey blocks

Build multi-question surveys: the seven question types, required questions, and a welcome message.

A survey is a sequence of questions in one block. Use it for screeners, background questions, or post-test impressions — anywhere several related questions belong together.

Choose Add question in the block to add one. Each question has a Question type, its Question text, optional Helper text shown underneath, and a Required checkbox (on by default) — testers can't move on from a required question without answering. Choice questions define their Answer Options (at least two); rating scales set the Max rating; Likert questions set a Low label and High label.

Intro and thank-you text

A survey can open with its own Welcome Message, shown before its first question. It's per-block — the study-level welcome and thank-you screens still wrap the whole session.

Writing questions that work

  • One thing per question. "Was it fast and easy?" is two questions wearing one question's clothes.
  • Make a question required only if a blank answer would invalidate the session — every required field costs completion rate.
  • Put open text after choice questions on the same topic; the options prime vocabulary and make free-text answers more comparable.

Validation

Launch is refused while the block has no title, no questions, or a question with no text. See configuration errors.
