Survey data validation

Survey data validation

Informed decisions stem from the accuracy and relevance of your survey data. Zoho Survey's validation features are designed to enhance data quality by guiding respondents to provide precise and intended answers.

Mandatory questions: Guarantee collection of essential data by requiring responses to key questions.

Answer format validation: Ensure data consistency with format requirements for certain responses, such as email addresses and phone numbers.

Numerical range validation: Confirm that numerical answers fall within a specified range, ensuring logical and relevant data.

Limited choices for multiple selections: Control the number of selections in multiple-choice questions to capture clear data about preferences.

Text-length constraints: Set limits on text response lengths to encourage concise, yet comprehensive answers.

Date validation Confirm date responses adhere to specific formats or ranges, crucial for event-related data.
