Single Question
A single question allows for respondents to only select one of the specified response alternatives.
1. After creating a new question, select Single in the drop down menu, under Question Type, and press Forward. A new window will open.
Response options: Response options are separated by a line break, as shown in the example above.
Final response option is open: This will make the last response option open. It gives respondents the option to enter an open answer, in case they cannot identify with any of the response options.
Apply randomization of response options: This function ensures that the order of response alternatives is not the same for all respondents.
No randomization of final response option: This function ensures that the final response option is not randomized.
Layout: Response options can be displayed as radio buttons or as a drop down menu. Drop down provides a better overview for respondents if there are many response options. If there are many response options, Enalyzer's responsive design will automatically convert radio buttons to a drop down menu to prevent scrolling.
Position of radio buttons: Radio buttons can be displayed vertically or horizontally. If displayed vertically, they can be positioned to the right or left.
Save question in the library: To save this question in the library, press the Save in.. button. We recommend to save questions in the library if they can be used in other surveys.
Insert images: To insert images, press the Images button. This will open a new window, where images can be uploaded to the question.

If you have an exclusive response option (e.g. none of the above or don't know) you can add [xop] after the response option. When respondents select the [xop] option, the system will remove the previous options chosen.
Note: Remember to Test the [xop] function.
Number of allowed choices: Here you can choose the amount of response options participants can select. The options are; All, min-max, or Exact. If you choose min-max or exact you must state either the minimum-maximum numbers or the exact number of answers the respondents must submit.
The final response option is open: This option allows respondents to enter a comment if they choose the last response alternative. Common use of this is a list of options, followed by the last one being 'Other'.
Apply randomization of response options: This option ensures that the order of response alternatives is not the same for all respondents.
No randomization of final response option: Remember to activate this option, if response options are randomized and the last response option is open. It will ensure that the last open response option is a constant for all respondents.
Position of response options: Response options can be displayed vertically or horizontally. If you select vertically, choose between right or left positioning.
