List of Textboxes Question Type
What is this?
This question type allows respondents to write multiple short open text field answers with individual labels in a single question.

Respondents can then fill in each textbox with their favorite films. You can define the textbox width (by number of characters) and choose to position the labels on the left or right side of the input box. This question type is great when you are collect short text responses to lists of prompted questions.
How does this Report?
Reporting Example
Within our Summary Reports, you will see an appendix element for each row of your List of Textboxes. Inside of each of these, the data will display each unique response and the count of how many respondents answered that way.
Exporting Example
