This type will render a checkbox. If the checkbox is check the value "true" will be saved as an answer, if its not check the value "false" will be saved as an answer.


Type Settings

  • Image URL we can give an image URL (http://www.mydomain.com/myimage.gif) in order to show it instead of showing the answer text. 

  • Type allows us to change the current type of the answer we want in our survey. Respondent answers already collected will not be deleted if we change the type.

  • Default Text Value  allows us to set "true" if the checkbox must be checked by default. It is also possible to use a default value coming from an external source using following tags :

    ##yourquerystringvariablename## will set the default text with a query string variable's value.
    @@yoursessionvariablename@@ will set the default text with a session variable's value.
    &&yourcookievariablename&& will set the default text with a cookie variable's value.
    %%servervariablename%% will set the default text with a server side variable's value. 


  • Pipe Alias allows us to specify an alias that we can use in other questions to pipe the textbox field value. To learn about piping and pipe alias we suggest reading the Piping Introduction.
     
  • Reporting Alias is the text that can be shown instead of the answer text inside our reports.

  • Extended Report Filter  we will be able to use directly the text answers of the respondent as a filter in the General Report Settings.To learn more about piping and extended report filters we suggest reading the Extended Filter Introduction.
