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 question attributes. 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 max value, the range will be 1 and max value. When both min and max are present if min > max , 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:
