Check which experience your survey uses before you generate questions. ### New Survey Experience * **Multiple choice**, 9 layouts: * One answer: vertical list, horizontal list, column list, dropdown, and select box * Multiple answers: vertical list, horizontal list, column list, and select box * **Net Promoter Score (NPS)** * **Text entry**: single line, multi-line, essay, and password * **Form field** * **Descriptive text** and **descriptive file** * **Matrix table**: * Likert, standard table, with one answer or multiple answers * Likert carousel, 6 layouts: vertical, horizontal, and column carousel, each with one answer or multiple answers * Profile, 2 layouts: one answer or multiple answers * Text entry, 4 cell sizes: short, medium, long, and essay * Constant sum * **Slider**: sliders, bars, and stars * **Rank order**: drag and drop * **Constant sum**, 2 layouts: horizontal text boxes and vertical text boxes * **Pick, group & rank**, with stacking turned off * **Side by side** * **Drill down** * **Signature** * **Timing** * **File upload** * **Video response** * **Meta info** * **Captcha** * **Calendar**: single date and date range * **Number scale** ### Legacy Survey Experience * **Multiple choice**, 9 layouts: * One answer: vertical list, horizontal list, column list, dropdown, and select box * Multiple answers: vertical list, horizontal list, column list, and select box * **Net Promoter Score (NPS)** * **Text entry**: single line, multi-line, essay, and password * **Form field** * **Descriptive text** and **descriptive file** * **Matrix table**: * Likert, standard table, with one answer or multiple answers * Likert carousel, 6 layouts: vertical, horizontal, and column carousel, each with one answer or multiple answers * Likert dropdown and Likert drag and drop * Profile, 2 layouts: one answer or multiple answers * Bipolar * Rank order * Text entry, 4 cell sizes: short, medium, long, and essay * Constant sum * MaxDiff * **Slider**: sliders, bars, and stars * **Rank order**: drag and drop, and vertical text boxes * **Constant sum**, 4 layouts: horizontal text boxes, vertical text boxes, bars, and sliders * **Pick, group & rank**, including stacked groups and stacked items in groups * **Side by side** * **Drill down** * **Signature** * **Timing** * **File upload** * **Video response** * **Meta info** * **Captcha** * **Screen capture**, with a Website/App Feedback license File upload and signature need the Qualtrics add-on, and video response needs a Qualtrics license that includes it. Metaforms creates these questions only in accounts that have that access. ### Logic and validation In both experiences, Metaforms can add: * Force response, text and number validation, and min/max selections * "Other, please specify" boxes, exclusive answers, and fixed-position answers * Answer groups and randomization * Display logic, skip logic, and carry forward * Reusable choice lists and recode values ### Settings that stay at the Qualtrics default Metaforms creates these questions but cannot change the settings below. Set them manually in Qualtrics if the questionnaire needs them. | Question | Setting you set manually | | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Any question | Request response. Only force response is available. | | Any question with choices | Default (pre-selected) answers | | Multiple choice | Label position and the number of columns in the column layout | | Matrix table | Transpose table. Repeat headers can only be turned on or off. | | Multiple choice, NPS, matrix, side by side | Mobile vertical order (New Survey Experience only) | | Slider: stars | Whole, half, or continuous star steps | | Calendar | Time interval (always 15 minutes), blocked dates, and allowed weekdays | | Timing | Delaying the Next button, auto-advance, and showing a timer | | File upload | Allowed file types | | Video response | Audio-only mode, and minimum and maximum length | | Signature | Box size and "sign here" text | | Pick, group & rank | Showing groups in two columns | | Text entry | AI conversational feedback | | Form field | Suggested address fields | If a question type or setting you need is not listed, email the questionnaire example to . --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://help.metaforms.ai/survey-programming-qualtrics/metaforms-chrome-extension-qualtrics-guide/question-types-supported.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
