Support Forums : Other, please specify in a MATRIX

How do I put and “Other, please specify” row into a radio button matrix?

Thanks Connie!
If you’re comfortable with HTML there is a workaround you can try. It will give you the look and feel that you want but will make reporting a little more work.

It will look like:

First create a textbox question, advanced edit it and make sure the option: “This question will be hidden unless toggled by a Show/Hide Trigger Question on this survey page.” is selected. In the upper right hand corner take note of the IDENT number for this question.

Then create the table. You must make sure the textbox question comes before the table.

In the table create your columns and rows as normal. To add in the “Other” row create an additional row and in the Title enter in the HTML code:

<input type=”text” name=”Q_x”>

Where ‘x’ is the IDENT for the textbox question. Then save and you’re done.

The only rub to this method is that the row title for that “other” text box will not be what they enter in, instead it will be stored in the textbox question you created before the table.
