How can I change the answers for a question?
Once a question is created, you can always go back and make changes to it! To make changes to a question, you will need to click into the form and switch the form to unpublished. From there you can edit any of the questions on the form.
Change the main parts
Each question you create will have the following properties that can be edited:
- Question: The question or instructions you want the user to respond to with an answer.
- Definition: Any extra information that may help the user in answering the question.
- Required: If a question is marked required, the mobile user will not be able to complete the form until all required questions are answered.
Refine the details
Some questions have extra options depending on the type of question, those options can also be changed.
- Default Value: (All questions except Signature & Sketch) This can be used as an example answer to assist the user in answering the question.
- Answer List: (Only Multi-Select and Single-Select questions) This is used as the list of available answers for the user to choose from. Each answer list you create will have the following properties:
- List Name: The name of the answer list (not visible to the user when filling out the form). A list that contained Pass, Fail, and Not Applicable as the available answers may have a list name of "Pass / Fail / NA".
- Share to All Forms / This Form Only: Sharing to all forms makes the answers list available to all forms. Use this for generic answer lists like "Grade 1 - 10". Sharing to this form only will restrict the lsit to the current form you are building. Use this for specific answer lists like "Tire Pressure Low / Tire Pressure OK".
