Custom Group Question Type

What is this?

Custom Groups allow you to add different question types into one group of questions. For example, you could add a dropdown menu, an open text field, and a multiple choice question all into one group of questions.

When would I use this?

The Custom Group is great if you want to ask complex questions with different unique answer types. It is very aesthetically pleasing because it helps you group together questions, and allow your respondents to see that they’re all related to each other in some way.

How does this Report?

Reporting Example

In a Summary Report, the custom group breaks each field of the group up into its own element. Each element will then be treated as their own question (so radio buttons can be viewed as pie, bar or table, and textbox can be viewed by appendix). To view the full report for the example below, please see: Tutorial: Question Types: Custom Group

Exporting Example

In our CSV/EXCEL exports, the custom group will treat each sub-question in a custom group as a separate question. This way, you will received unique reporting values for each column. Within those columns, it will display with the sub question title, then the overall group title.
