Use the default response option to pre-populate answer choices on a question when a participant starts the survey. Participants can then change their answers or continuing on without making a selection if they wish to accept the default answer choice.
Default responses can be applied on the following question types:
- Single Selection
- Dropdown Select
- Multiple Selection
- Line Scale
- Numeric
- Single Selection Grid
- Multiple Selection Grid
- Numeric Grid
- Semantic Differential Scale Grid
NOTE – If you set a default response for grid or zipper questions, it will apply to all the groups in the grid or samples in a zipper question. At this time there is not a way to specify a different default answer for each group in a grid or sample in a zipper. |
