How to Create a Number Question in Zoho Survey | Online Help Guide

Number

The Number question type allows the survey respondents to type in numeric responses.
For example, if you'd like to collect the mobile numbers of your customers to send them promotional offers, and newsletters, you could add a number question in your survey.

Number question sample:


To add a number question to your survey:

  1. Click Number in the question types listed on the left pane. You can also drag and drop the question type to the builder. Also, you can change the question type by clicking the dropdown next to the question type in the question editor. However, the choices for change are related to the question type you have selected. For example, if you selected the numeric textbox question type, you can only change it to its variants available in the list. You can select an option from the dropdown.  

  2. In the Question box, type your question.  
    1. If you want to mark the question mandatory, select the Make this question mandatory checkbox. 
    2. If you want to make changes to the default Error message text that displays, edit the content in the textbox. Decimal values will be accepted. 
    3. If you want to pipe in custom variables or variables from previous questions and customize the follow-up questions, click Insert Variable right above the Question box, and select the variable you want to use from the list. Read more on Piping
  3. To learn what else you can do with the question, click Advanced options. You can perform the following actions: 
    1. In the Textbox size dropdown list, select the number of characters you want to use in the textbox. 
    2. In the Minimum value and Maximum value boxes, specify the minimum and maximum character limits. 
    3. Select Allow decimal value if you want to allow decimal values in the answer.
    4. The autofill or prepopulate answer feature allows you to prepopulate single-variable survey responses automatically before sending them to respondents. To prepopulate answers for a known respondent, select Prepopulate answer
    5. Question hint is used to add hints to your question and help your respondents get a clear idea of what your questions are all about. This feature is optional and is available only for certain types of questions.

  4. Switch to the Display Logic tab to add a logic condition to the question.
