Question types

The question types available in surveys and feedback widgets.

Both surveys and feedback widgets share a common set of question types.

Text input

  • Short text — a single line.
  • Long text — a multi-line text area.
  • Email — validated email input.

Choice

  • Single choice (radio) — pick one option.
  • Multiple choice (checkbox) — pick several.

Rating

  • Star rating.
  • 1–5 scale.
  • 1–10 scale — useful for NPS-style questions.
  • Smiley faces — quick sentiment.

Per-question options

  • Required or optional.
  • Answer options for choice types, and custom labels for rating scales.
  • Conditional logic / branching so follow-up questions depend on earlier answers — see Logic & branching.
Rating questions produce numbers you can chart; open text produces the reasons behind them. A survey with only ratings tells you that something is wrong. Pair each rating with one open follow-up and you find out what.
