Overview
A Grid question is a tabular question that asks respondents to evaluate one or more row items using the same set of column choices.
This question type is commonly used to create Likert scale questions.
On desktops and laptops, Grid questions will be displayed as a table. To enable easy completion on a mobile device, Grid questions will be split into individual choice questions for mobile browsers.
