Question

The actual question you want to ask.

Description

A subtle description underneath the question.

This text area supports formatting.

Visible?

An invisible question can not be seen by the person who is supposed to answer the questions, but can be seen and edited by moderators. Invisible questions can not be required.

Required?

Required questions can block the download of tickets, signing of documents or leasing of stock if not answered.

Enable / disable data

If you want to enable this question only for a certain timeframe, you can do so by entering the Enabled from and Enabled until attributes. Outside of that data the question will be disabled for the user to fill.

Moderators can always change questions and answers, even if they are currently not enabled.

You can write a message that should be displayed if the question is currently disabled to inform your users on what to do now.

Or you can hide the question when it is disabled.

If you question is only available for a certain period, and it is required, make sure you add information for the user to see. Otherwise they might not be able to download their tickets or submit their request.

If that question is also hidden when it's disabled, the user will not know what's wrong as their required question can not be seen.

Use with care.

Options

If your question is a "one upload" or "many uploads" answer kind, you have to create those options. This ability will be presented to you after you create the question. Click "Edit options" to... edit the options 😅

The page that is presented to you allows you to create, translate, reorder, edit and remove question options.

Extra text on single or multiple choice

When editing your question options, select "Allow extra text?" to enable users to add additional text to their answers for that choice.

Disable a single choice

Multiple-choice and single-choice questions have the option to be disabled. This feature is useful when you've presented a person with numerous options, but some of those options have since become unavailable.
