Question type - Array (Numbers)

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.

You can set a special question attribute to use this question type with checkboxes:
