Survey Structure
In order to start creating a survey, we first need two fields: Title and Description. The title is required but the description is optional.
Example with the title Event Feedback and without description:
Example with the title “We need your opinion” and description “Thank you for participating in this event! We want to hear your feedback…” :
Survey Fields
For every field, we need to know: The title, description, kind, and if the field is required.
| Attribute | Description |
| Title (required) | Free text |
| Description (optional) | Free text |
| Kind (required) | One of Short text field, Paragraph text, Multiple choice, Multiple choice with other, Single choice, Linear scale, Rating scale |
| Is required? | Defaults to false |
Only these fields should be enough for the following kinds: Short text field, Paragraph text, and Rating scale. The others have an extra configuration to be set
Here’s a short description for each kind:
Short text – Text value. Free text field with a short input widget, there’s no character limit.
Paragraph text – Text value. Free text field with a textarea input widget, there’s no character limit.
Single choice – Text value. Choose one value from a set of options.
Multiple choice – Multiple text values. Choose one or more values from a set of options.
Multiple choice with other – Multiple text values. Choose one or more values from a set of options. Has the possibility of adding one value that is not present in the options.
Linear scale – Integer value. Rating between two numbers.
Rating scale – Integer value. Rating 1 to 5, with stars as UI widget.
Fields that require extra configuration
Single and Multiple choices
These two fields require one more attribute: options. Options are just a list of available answers.
Example of a Single Choice field required without description and the options “First”, “Second”, and “Third”:
Example of a Multiple Choices field with a description, not required and the options “First”, “Second”, and “Third”:
Linear Scale Field
For this field, we need to know the lower and upper range values. This range should go from 0 to 10. There are also two extra labels, one on the left side of the options and the other one on the right side.
Extra attributes:
| Attribute | Description |
| Lower range | 0 or 1 |
| Upper range | From 2 to 10 |
| Left label (optional) | 32 characters |
| Right label (optional) | 32 characters |
Example of a required Linear scale field with a description, the lower range set to 1 and the upper range 10. There is also a left and right label:
Same example but without the labels:
Requesting a Survey Form
Currently, it is not possible to create a custom survey form through the PlusPlus system. If you need to create one, you will have to contact support with some required information.
