Adding a data picker to enter responses

If you are creating a questionnaire to be delivered online, you can create an on-screen clock, calendar, keyboard, or numeric keypad that respondents can use to enter their answers. These are known as Data Pickers. When your survey is published, an icon is displayed by the response box. The respondent clicks on the icon to open the Data Picker.

Types of Data Picker

The type of Data Picker displayed depends on the response type of the question.

• Date questions display calendar Data Pickers

• Time questions display clock Data Pickers

• Literal questions display keyboard Data Pickers

• Quantity questions display keypad Data Pickers
