Text Box Matrix

Adding Text Box Matrix Question Type To Your Surveys 

The text box matrix is somewhat similar to the radio matrix question type. Like a radio matrix, this question type also includes rows and columns and allows you to gather a massive amount of data from your respondents. 

However, unlike the radio matrix, the respondents would be required to type in their responses rather than just selecting the desired choice. 

• To add a text box matrix to your survey on SurveyPoint, open the  workspace and click “Create a new survey +.” You can also use our pre-made templates if you don’t want to start a survey from scratch.
  
• You can also open an existing survey that you have created on your workspace to add this question type.
  
  

• Open your survey to get started.
  

• Once you open your survey, click on the “+” button located under the Create Survey panel sidebar.
  
  
  
  
  

• Then, select the Text Box Matrix from the question type menu to add this question to your survey.

• In the text box matrix question, you must provide the text for the question, columns, and rows.
  
  
• It is now only a matter of replacing the pre-existing text with the actual question.
  
  
• You can also add column text by replacing “Col 1” with your text. To add more columns, click on “Add column”. 
  
  

• Alternatively, you can delete the column by clicking the cross button. The cross button will be visible once you click or hover the cursor on the column.

Navigating Settings

• In the settings option, you can choose to make whether the question is required or not. In other words, respondents will not be able to skip this question if you enable the Required option.
  
  
• The Multi-selection option allows the respondents to select multiple options in a single question type. You can enable it by turning the toggle ON
