Text Area Question
The Text Area question can be used to ask users for textual information. Here is an example of a Text Area question:
This question can be displayed in normal mode (as shown above) or Form mode (use with a Form Header Question).
The following is a description of the fields in the Text Area edit screen:
- Question - Entry field for question text. You can use the formatting toolbar to add formatting to the question, such as text size, text formatting (bold, italic, underline), color, etc.
- Default Value - Sets the default answer choice for the question. This value must be the exact text (case sensitive) of the answer choice.
- Text box display length - Sets the character width of the text box. Note that this is only the display length of the text box and does not limit the length of the respondent's answer.
- Text box display height - Sets the number of lines in a text box. If this value is greater than 1 the text box will be a multi-line text box, e.g. for entering comments.
- Answer required - If checked, respondents must answer this question before they can continue with the survey.
- Ask if - Click this button to set the condition under which this question will be asked, i.e. branching and conditional logic. For more information, see the Ask if Logic page.
- Verification - Sets the verification rules for the question. For example, you can verify that respondent answers are in a certain numeric range or have a certain number of characters. If a respondent's answer does not meet the verification rule entered, the respondent will not be able to continue the survey.
