Survey Builder: Additional Properties

Additional Properties

1. Non-Numeric Option: Examples of the non-numeric options include Not Applicable or N/A, however you can insert any text into this option. This response will not receive a numeric value, so as to not distort any means or standard deviation scores within the reporting. On the survey, the student will see all response options, including the non-numeric option. This option is only available for Single Selection and Matrix question types.
   
   

   NOTE

   This option is no longer available to select once the survey has been used in a deployed project and response data aligns to the question. The option box will display grayed out/locked.
   
   
2. Comment Box: This optional Comment Box is directly tied to this single selection question. In response to some single selection questions, you may want the student to follow up with comments.
