Notice text

Use notice texts for an opening text and headers, as well as to give some structure to the survey. Notice texts aren't questions as such, so they cannot be answered to. Use notice texts to clarify questions and keep questions short.

Short text field & Long text field

• Open questions are answered in written form.
• There are two question types, short and long text field.
• Write the question, select whether or not the question is mandatory and save. Lyyti will automatically create the answer field beside the question.

Multiple choice (Choose many) and Multiple choice (Choose one)

  • choose one of the given options
    
    
  • choose many

Respondents select one of the given options. There are two types of menu questions.

1. Drop-down menu: 
2. Selection box: Selection box allows you to define how many of the given options are shown at once. Drop-down menus show options after the menu is opened.

Scale of values

• Use the scale of values if you have several questions that you wish to be valued e.g. from 1 to 5.
• The scale's values can be either sliding or defined values.
