The Paragraph text allows users to provide more information or instruction to respondents which will appear above any survey questions.

How do I create a Matrix question?

Date Created: July 21, 2015 Last Modified: August 2, 2015

The Matrix is a very powerful question type that allows the respondent to rank across multiple dimensions and/or in order of importance. Matrix questions can be used to measure, rank, and gather a lot of information in a way respondents find simple and easy to answer.

There are three types of Matrix question types that provide great variety in response.

The basic anatomy of this question is to measure dimensions or attributes (shown as rows) against a rating or answer (shown in columns). In the example below, we’re setting up the matrix to measure 4 attributes on a four-point scale.

After pressing Save, we can see the Matrix question in the Survey Designer.

There are three different input types for Matrix questions, select the desired type below.

Single Select

The single select type shows radio buttons and allows for only one selection per row only, this is the most common matrix input type.

In our example, a respondent can choose only one selection in each row and responds be very satisfied across all dimensions measured.

Unique Select

The unique select type shows radio buttons but only allows columns to be selected once (uniquely) forcing respondents to rank their choices.

In the example below, respondents have to rank the 4 attributes, but only once. This forces the respondent to their top choice, the second choice, third choice, and so on. Notice the choices under the columns become grayed out once the respondent has selected a radio button.

Multiple Select

The multiple select type shows checkboxes which allow the respondent to select multiple values across all rows and columns. This type of matrix is suited for allowing users to select all answers that apply and is not suited for ranking/measuring responses.

In the example below, respondents can select multiple choices for the same row.

You should also make a consideration for the mobile experience with these types of questions. The experience could vary depending on the type of the mobile device being used to view the survey. It's always good to test your Matrix, or entire survey, on a mobile device.

After pressing Save, we can see the Radio Button question in the Survey Designer.

Below is an example of the Radio Button question on the survey.

 

How do I create a Rating question?

Date Created: July 21, 2015 Last Modified: August 2, 2015

The Rating question type allows respondents to provide a numerical rating to the question and answers are in whole numbers.

When creating the Rating question, you will be able to set the parameters of the rating system.

Rating Style
This is the visual selection element and you can choose from radio buttons or stars.

1 to N
This is the maximum value for the rating scale with the lowest value allowed being 3. If users want to a rating scale of 1 - 10, then they'll want to enter 10 in this field.

Lowest Number Description
Enter any descriptive text for the low end of the scale to provide more information to the respondent.

Highest Number Description
Enter any descriptive text for the high end of the scale to provide more information to the respondent.

Alow for N/A
By checking the Allow for N/A, a box will appear under the question allowing respondents to choose "N/A" instead of providing a rating.

 

 

After pressing Save, we can see the Rating question in the Survey Designer.

Below is an example of the Rating question on the survey, we've chosen to allow N/A as response.

Users can select a CRM Campaign to which a campaign response will be recorded each time a survey is completed. To receive an email with the survey response, enter the email address for the desired recipient.

The Configurable Text section allows users to select the text and labeling for the navigation and completed surveys.

The Navigation options are used for the buttons respondents use when moving between pages and the button to submit their responses.

The Expired or Already Completed Survey options allows users to set how long the survey will remain open and what happens when a respondent submits their survey. Often times, users may want their survey to expire and by selecting an Expiration Date any outstanding surveys will display the Expired Survey Message. Users can enter a custom message in the Survey Already Completed field to alert respondents that they've already taken the survey, this does not work for anonymous survey links.

The Survey Completed options allow users to display a custom completion message by entering text in the Completed Survey field. Respondents can also be presented with a link to follow to the user's desired website. Users can designate a website in the Jump to URL field and any text in the Jump to Display will be the hyperlink text.

The CSS sections allows users who have created their own CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to add their styling to the survey.

When satisfied with the Survey Information, press Save in order to begin building the survey pages, sections, and questions.
