Grid question

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.

There are two Grid question types to allow your respondents to select one answer per row or multiple answers per row.

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.
