The intro screen is the first page your respondents will see when they're taking your questionnaire. When you're sending out a questionnaire, you'll want to give your respondents a bit of information before they start and this is where you can do it.
Professional Enterprise ReportR DistributR Tell your respondents what the questionnaire is about, what the results will be used for, which prize they can win, or just welcome your respondents and tell them how much time the questionnaire will take. Describing the context (and especially announcing a prize) increases engagement (they know what they're participating in).
This guide will teach you:
1. Choose to show the Intro screen
Before getting into the details of what will be shown on your first page, you have to decide whether you want to show it at all or jump straight to your questions. Toggle the Active button to make it visible or hidden.
2. Intro text and Start button
Change the text if you want in the text box circled below. You can also edit the text of the Start button, for example "Let's go", "Let's begin", or anything else that suits your survey tone of voice.
You can use the the rich text editor to make your text bold, bigger, change the color, or use variables to address respondents by name.
3. Add Intro fields
Here you can add Intro fields, which are mostly used to collect demographic data such as name, email, job title, etc. If you choose to add these fields, this form will appear on the first page containing all the data, so it will save time and you will not need to create a separate question for each item.
This is how this feature will look like:
Click Add a field and choose what type of field you want to add.
This is also useful when you want to view the results by Responses. You will get a clear overview of the respondent's answers to the Intro fields, and you can choose to filter the results by any of those fields.
Another really great use of this feature is that you can send respondents a personalized link that has the fields already completed with the details of the respondents, so they do not have to fill in the information themselves - they'll appreciate the time-saving!
4. Multiple Languages
If you’re offering your survey in multiple languages, the first page that your respondents will see is the language choice page. Here is where they can choose their survey language. It can look like this:
Once they’ve chosen their language, the Intro page you’ve set up will be displayed next, in their chosen language. To learn how to set up the language choice page and how to translate every part of your survey, read the Multiple Languages guide.
