Question types

The picker opens over the builder. Search it when you know the name, or switch category when you know the job.

These blocks take a typed answer, and each one checks what it is given. A bad address or a malformed email is caught while the person is still on the question.

• Short answer: one line, for a name or a job title.
• Long answer: an open answer, in a box sized to the space it needs.
• Email: checks the address is well formed, so a typo never becomes a bounce.
• Phone number: collects a number in a shape you can call.
• Number: digits only, with a currency format when the answer is money.
• Link / URL: a web address, checked at entry.
• Password: hides the answer as it is typed.
• Address: the parts of an address in their own fields, so they export cleanly.

Use a choice block when the answer comes from a list you control, rather than from whatever the person types.

• Multiple choice: one answer from a list. A switch allows several, so one block covers checkboxes too.
• Dropdown: one answer from a long list, which keeps twenty options the height of one line.
• Multi-select: several answers from a searchable list, for skills or tags.
• Picture choice: options as images, which reads faster than a list of words.

A choice answer also drives conditional logic and quiz scoring, because both need a value they can compare.

• Date: a date picker, with the allowed days set in the block settings.
• Time: a time picker.
• Date range: two dates, for a stay or a booking window.
• File upload: a document or an image, with the accepted types set per block. People upload without signing in.
• Signature: a drawn signature, for consent or a delivery note.
• Color picker: a colour as an answer, for a brand or a preference.

A date answer is a real date, so a rule can branch on before and after, and a calculated field can do arithmetic with it.

• Rating: stars or another symbol, with the count set per block.
• Linear scale: a numbered scale. Its display setting gives you the slider, or the labelled end to end scale.
• NPS Score: the standard recommendation question, scored the standard way.
• Ranking: reorder a list, which gives a preference order rather than a score.

• Matrix / Grid: one set of columns against several rows, for statements on the same scale.
• Payment: collects an amount once a payment provider is connected.
• Hidden field: carries a value the respondent never sees, such as the source of the link.
• Calculated field: works out an answer from other answers and updates as they change.

Layout blocks do not collect anything. They control the order and the space around the questions that do.

• Welcome block and Thank you block: the screen before the first question and the one after the last.
• Text block: a heading or a paragraph between questions, for context or a link.
• Divider and Spacer: a line, or a gap.
• Column layout: questions side by side, which is how a first name and a last name share a line.

• Image: a picture between or above questions.
• Video: a video block, so an instruction can be shown rather than described.
• Embed: a link turned into an embed, for a map or a page from another tool.

Every block has settings of its own, and they are described in question settings.
