Your respondents can upload files that are maximum 2 MB. The supported file types are .pdf, .docx, .txt, .csv, .xslx, .doc .xls and .mp3
You can toggle the button so that a Not applicable option will be automatically added. If you want to ask respondents to leave a comment, toggle to turn on Add a text box to specify or leave an extra comment and a box will appear underneath your question.
To change the text of the button label and upload messages, head to Labels and messages in Extra options.
Here's an example of how the respondent will see this type of question.
What's next?
- Add Media to your questionnaire. Upload an image, video, GIF, or audio file to make your questionnaire more entertaining. Respondents will be more likely to go all the way to the end of your questionnaire if you add something besides just the plain text question and answers.
- Add a signature question to collect the respondent's signature as part of the questionnaire! It's a really useful feature and here are some ideas for when you can use it: if you want to gain signed consent before continuing the survey, for filling out a petition via a form, or even as part of signing up for a promotion or course while answering the survey.
- Check your responses view to analyze the responses you have collected, how a particular respondent answered, the last slide and last question when save per question or save and continue is enabled. This is where device data and properties are included, if data collection setting is enabled.
