Creating custom surveys

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.

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:

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.

Please take a look at the specifications for each field, fill a document similar to the one below and send it to PlusPlus support.
