Check Box Elements

The Check Box Elements control allows you to configure a question with check box options; it is possible for more than one check box to be selected. Check Box Elements are useful for situations where more than one option applies. Note that these options may be assigned values for reporting purposes.

The settings for the Check Box Elements question are as follows. To edit the question, mouse over the control and select the edit Survey-Form-Editor-Edit-Button-53.PNG icon. To accept the edit, select the Save Survey-Form-Editor-Save-Button-53.PNG icon; to cancel the edit, select the Cancel Survey-Form-Editor-Cancel-Button-53.PNG icon.

Question

The question field is where you enter the text of your question.

Required

When selected, the Required checkbox makes an answer for this question mandatory.

Field

The field drop-down menu allows you to select reporting metrics/fields to map to a given question. The following options are available:

Display Format

The display format indicates what type of button or element is being edited. Note that this can be used as a shortcut for changing the type of question without dragging and dropping a new question onto the form canvas.

Options

Options is the area where the answers/options for your questions are configured, and comprises two parts:

  • The top section, which displays all configured options, including text and value
  • The bottom section, which is where options are configured

Aside from displaying the text and value of a question, the top section of the options area allows you to reorder the current options by drag and drop. If you want to add a new option, click the add Survey-Form-Editor-Add-Button-53.PNG icon; if you want to remove an option, click the delete Survey-Form-Editor-Delete-Button-53.PNG icon.

In the bottom section, if adding a new option or editing a current one, you will see the Text field, Value field, and the N/A check box.

  • Text is the field where you add the text of your option/answer.
  • Value is the field where you may enter a number or unique value that will be associated with this option; values can be passed to reports.
  • The N/A checkbox, when selected, prevents any value being associated with the option.
