Appendix: Creating a Free Text Question

A Free Text question consists of a text field where the end user can type any alphanumeric value - including letters, numbers and certain symbols.

Implementation:

  1. Switch to the Definition tab.
  2. Select the intended question group.
  3. Add a question and change its type to Free Text or Memo/Multi-line Free Text.
  • Free Text - A single-line text field, ideally suited for providing short responses, such as the user's name or address.
  • Memo/Multi-line Free Text - An expanded version that provides several lines. This is best used for longer responses, such as user feedback.
  1. Use the Question Text field to enter the text you want to appear alongside the Free Text question.
  2. Enter a unique keyword in the Question Keyword field.
  3. (Optional) If you want to pass the provided response to a variable, select the intended one in the Target Model Variable drop-down menu.
  4. (Optional) (Free Text only) To connect your question to a data source, click Data Source.
  5. (Optional) Switch to Further Question Options and change the settings as required.
  6. Click Save Question.
