Set-up and edit questions and answer choices

Overview:

There are many question types to choose from. To understand what all the different question types offer, please see please see <<article on default questions>> or <<article on advanced questions>>.

 

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. To add a question, click on the “+” in the top left and select the question type that you want to add:

 

        2. The selected question type will appear on the left under “Section 1”:

 

 

3. When you’ve chosen the appropriate question type (a single punch variable was selected for this example), it will open up the screen where you can change the variable name, question text, answer choices and set options for the question (saving happens automatically in SB):


1. Variable Label: You can rename the variable label at top-middle of the page where it currently says “Label1”. You can use an underscore, but no spaces when naming a variable. E.g. Q1Gen or Q1_Gender are acceptable, but it will reject Q1. Gender.

 

2. Question: the middle part if the Build screen is where you can add, edit and update your questions:

 

 

You can enter your question text and decide if it needs an instruction e.g. “please select one answer”, you can also remove or add more question text boxes by clicking the “-“ or “+” symbols.

7. Edit your container, question, and answer code settings. Make sure to update these when you’re finished.

 

7a. Container: Each question will have its own space where it is housed called a “container”. For individual questions like gender or age, there may only be one question in the container. However, for questions where the user wants the answer choice list to be exactly the same for a series of questions, the container does this automatically. For example, this will be useful for common questions in shopper or path-to-purchase studies. It will also help users to create funnel series. The example below shows what the display looks like and how a user might use this for a mutli-punch question asking about likability and a follow-on single choice question about a favourite:

Question 1 in the “P2P_Set” Container:

 

Question 2 in the “P2P_Set” Container:

 

Please also see <<article on containers>>

 

 

7b. Question edit options: change the question type and decide what settings need to be applied to your question.

 

 

 *Delete question will only be clickable if there is more than one question in the Container. To delete a question when there is only one question in the Container, you need to delete the entire container from the "Container" tab.

 

7c. Answer choice options: Click on an answer choice row. Then you can set specific filters for an answer choice or copy settings from another answer choice (so you only have to set-up the options once). You can also change the code, decide if it’s mutually exclusive and tag the answer choice for use in other studies. You can also disable a row here.

 *you will only see additional boxes like "Set answer Q2" and "filterb" when a container has more than one question.
