Choosing the right question type

Picking the right question type makes your data much easier to analyze later. Here's what's available:

  • Short text / Long text - open-ended answers. Use long text for anything that needs more than a sentence.
  • Single choice / Multiple choice / Dropdown - pick-one or pick-many from a fixed list. Dropdown is a good space-saver for long option lists.
  • Rating (1-5) / NPS (0-10) - quick sentiment scales. Use NPS specifically for "how likely are you to recommend" questions.
  • Matrix / grid - rate several rows against the same set of columns in one compact table (e.g. rating five features on the same Poor-to-Excellent scale).
  • Ranking - respondents order a list of items by preference, rather than rating them independently.
  • Slider - a numeric answer on a continuous range, with optional labels at each end.
  • Date / Email / Number - validated single-value fields.
  • File upload - lets respondents attach a document or image (Professional plan and above).
  • Signature - captures a drawn signature, useful for consent or acknowledgment questions.

Mark any question Required to block submission until it's answered.
