QS:Min answers

Minimum answers (min_answers)
Description

This function can be used to ensure that a user selects at least a certain number of answers in a multiple choice question.

Valid values


 * Any integer value above 0
 * Any number
 * Any SGQA code
 * Any question code (variable name)
 * Any equation, using Expression Manager syntax, without surrounding curly braces.

Example

If set to X (a random number), the users can submit the survey form if they select at least X checkboxes. If this option is utilised for ranking questions, this ensures that at least three items are ranked before allowing the respondent to submit the answers/survey.

Please note that if you use this attribute with Ranking questions, you have to set the question to non-mandatory. Otherwise, all the items need to be ranked which is counter-intuitive if you decide to use the min_answers function too.
