Es posible definir el aspecto con el que se presentará la encuesta a los encuestados y no sólo escogiendo una de las plantillas ya existentes, sino creando nuestro propio dise&ntilde;o de colores, bordes y formato de fuentes de letras, todo ello con el objetivo de adaptar la estética de la encuesta bien al tipo de encuesta realizada (formal, informal, etc.) bien a un estilo "corporativo" (colores y logotipos) o bien al estilo general de la página web donde pudiera ser vinculada la encuesta.

Hints & Tips

  • You can adjust the layout as well as include pictures or other media elements in your individual answers. This is possible by clicking on the pencil icon at the end of the answer text-box and using the WYSIWYG editor to create edit or design your answer layout as well as upload images and media.
  • There is a special feature to create an answer that is showing up left and right of an array row (this works only with the question type Array). This can be done by using a pipe char '|'  to part the answer. For example, if you want to have 'Good' and 'Evil' on the left and right side of the row, just write 'Good|Evil' into this field. This is essentially useful if you want to create a Semantic Differential Question.
  • Relevance: You can enter Expression Manager relevance equations for each subquestion (available for question types using subquestions such as multiple choice or array questions). In this way, you can conditionally show/hide certain items of your question. The default value of "1" means that the item is always shown.
Hint: Always perform a logic file check to make sure your relevance equation has no errors.
