General description
The Array (Numbers) question type allows a large array of numbered dropdown boxes with a set of subquestions as the “y-axis”, and another set of subquestions as the “x-axis”. It provides for a very large display of question and answers. By default the dropdown box contains the numbers from 1 to 10, however this can be changed by adjusting the advanced question settings.
The behavior is like this:
- If you only specify a minimum value the range will adjust as min value + 10
- If you only specify a maximum value, the range will be 1 and maximum value.
- When both minimum and maximum value are present and if the minimum value is greater than the maximum value, no dropdown box will be displayed otherwise it works as usual.

Core settings
Mandatory
Description
This option allows the survey administrators to request their respondents to answer certain survey questions. If the mandatory questions are not answered, the respondents will not be able to proceed further. If you have a question with multiple subquestions, and you require only certain subquestions to be answered, use the minimum answer attribute located under the Logic tab.
Available options
- On - Question must be answered before the participant can proceed to the next page - the answer option 'No answer' is never shown.
- Soft - If the question is not answered, a warning is shown when trying to proceed to the next page - however, the participant can choose to ignore the warning and proceed. Note that the 'No answer' option is still shown (if activated in survey presentation settings)
- Off (default) - Question can be left unanswered
