You can add a Question Grid to a survey to display a group of questions in a condensed format.

What you’ll cover in this article

How it works

Each row exists as a separate Multiple Choice Question on Makerble
The group of Multiple Choice Questions exist as an Outcome on Makerble
The column titles exist as a Set of Answer Choices that are shared across all the questions in the grid

What it looks like

The example above is based on a grid of 10 rows (10 questions) and 5 columns (answer choices)

Results appear as
- Bar Charts
- Pie Charts
- Interactive tables - click each row to see the respondents who selected that answer choice

You can see the grid in all the apps where the survey is used.

While completing the survey for individual contacts Complete a Survey about a single contact

While completing survey using the public anonymous link (anyone with the link can complete the survey) Collect survey responses from anyone with the link

When the survey is sent to a witness as a unique 360° survey Collect responses to a 360° survey

To create a new survey click Create in the top menu > select More Options > select Survey. Then go to step 3

In the Pick questions from you libraries section, select the outcome that you want to add to the survey. This will add all the question from the outcome to the survey.

You should create the questions in the metrics app by following this guide Multiple Choice Trackers that use Shared Lists (Answer Choices) before adding them to the survey.

A pop-up will appear where you can choose the option of how to display the questions
Select the Question Grid option for Display as.

You will get the grid option for the display of questions only if the following conditions are satisfied:

The outcome should have at least two scale indicators (multiple choice questions)
At least two scale indicators in the outcome share the same answer choices

If the outcome that is added does not meet any of the above conditions, the grid option will be disabled.

Set up the other settings for the questions by pressing Next and click on Save and Finish at the end.
Similarly, set up the other outcomes and questions for the survey.
Press Save at the bottom to save the survey
Your grid setting is saved.

Now, you will see the questions with similar answer choices in a grid rather than multiple questions.
