Editable “Back”, “Next”, and “Submit” Button Text
What is this?
Surveys aren’t like cookie cutters and we understand that. That’s why you always have the ability to quickly and easily change the “Back”, “Next”, and “Submit” button text to whatever you need it to be.
Having the ability to customize those buttons allow you to add that little extra flare to your survey.
When would I use this?
Are you sending out a invitation to a party, asking people to get their fortune told by the magic eightball, or are you just bored of the same ol’ “Next”, “Submit”, and “Close” text?
You can easily customize your invitation to say “RSVP Now” instead of “Submit”, your magic eightball submit button to say “Get Your Fortune”, or change your buttons to say anything you think would make sense.
Editing these buttons can also be helpful when you’re running multiple language surveys. You want to make sure that your survey takers have the ability to understand which buttons do what.
What should I avoid?
It’s always best to make sure your button text makes sense to your survey taker. You don’t want to say “Onward” for the back button, or use terminology that might be ambiguous or confusing.
Can I see an example?
Of course! Our system will default the buttons to “Previous Page” and “Next Page”, but as you can see you can customize them to say whatever you’d like.
