Statements

Clicking on the + icon gives you the option to create a new statement. After entering your statement, you will be presented with the same set of options available for all other statements, such as question type, tooltips, anchors, and recommendations. We will cover each of these later in the article.

Question type

You can choose between the Likert and Open-ended question types. Based on your survey’s goals, you can use one question type throughout or mix and match different types across your survey. To change the question type, simply click the dropdown menu and select your preferred option.

In the short video below we show you how to change the question type

Tooltips

Tooltips can be utilized to provide additional information about statements to survey respondents, thereby enabling them to answer questions more accurately. To add a tooltip, simply select the statement and type in the necessary information on the right-hand side.

Note: You can easily upload an image or delete the tooltip altogether.

Anchors

With the Anchors option, you will be able to modify the statement’s possible responses. You can select from predefined responses or add your own custom response. Additionally, this option allows you to enable or disable the ‘Not Applicable‘ choice, which is commonly used in our standard surveys.

Reversed scoring reverses the scores assigned to each response option so that the highest score corresponds to the most negative response and the lowest score corresponds to the most positive response.

Note: If you would like responses to appear vertical, proceed with enabling the option on the right-hand side.
