Question Editor

The question editor let us setup the configuration and constraints of our question. 

If we want to add answers to the question we will need to use the Answer Editor after having created our question.


Question Options

• Selection Mode is the mode in which Selection Answer Types will be rendered by the Feedback Server engine.
  
  

  	The radio button mode will show Selection Answer Types inside the question as radio buttons. The respondent can select only one answer in this mode.
  	The checkbox mode will show Selection Answer Types inside the question as checkboxes. The respondent can select multiple answers in this mode.
  	The dropdown list mode will group and show Selection Answer Types inside a dropdown list. The respondent can select only one answer in this mode.

• Display Mode is way we want to layout the answer items inside the question. We can either choose to order the layout in a vertical manner or to order the layout in an horizontal manner.
  
  
• Number Of Columns is the number columns in which the question layout will be split into.
  
  
• Fields Layout we can show Field Answer Types of the question in two different ways to the respondent.
  
  

  	In the left to right mode the answer item label will be shown on the same line as the textbox.
  	In the top to bottom mode the answer item label will be shown on top of the textbox.

  
  
• Randomize Answers Order we can choose to show the answer's in a random order to each respondent to avoid the "order bias effect".
