Create a New list of Answer selections
To Create a New list of Answer selections:
- Make sure form is "Unpublished" so that you can edit it.
- Add a new question or click the blue pencil icon in an existing question to edit it
Within the question, click on "Manage Lists" .
- From here, you can see all answer selection lists available for the form you are in, update the names of the answer selection lists, click on the "selections" column to update selections for any list, or click "+Add Selection List" to create an entirely new one.
- After clicking on "Add Selection list", type in the name of the list (this name is how you will identify this list to use on other questions or forms)
- Then click on either "This Form Only" (if you want the list to be an option for only the form you are in) or "All Forms" (if you want it to be an option for any of your forms).
- Next, click on the "Selections" option (which should read "0 Selections") and add the selections you want to be on your new list.
- For a new row (answer selection), just click on the green "Add Selection" button.
These are the options for your answer selection list:
- Abbr: An abbreviation of the answer. Set an abbreviation if your user's are viewing the form on the iPhone or if they are familiar with an already existing abbreviated format on your forms.
- Answer: The answer you want available from the list of choices.
- Priority: Choose the level of priority you want associated with the answer by default.
- Text Color: The color you want the text of the answer to display as.
- Score: For more complicated answers, you may want to have a scoring system. For example, an answer of "Yes" may give the question 5 points, but an answer of "No" may give 0 points. Scoring is optional.
- Default: The option that the answer should default to during auto-complete.
Once you are done, click the blue “Update Selections” button and then X out of the Selection Lists menu.
You can now select your new list from the “List of Selections”. When you first create a new answer selection list, it will show up at the bottom of your options in this box. After you have used it once, it will put it in alphabetical order based on how it was named.
Be sure to click Save on the question when complete.
