Dropdown questions

With a dropdown questions a user can select one value from a dropdown list. The dropdown list can be set in three different ways: set pre-defined options, choices from data tables or choices from survey results. In this tutoral we present all three.

Pre defined options

As can be seen in figure 1 below when selecting Choice Options the properties one can set the options for the dropdown question in the table. Additionally it is possible to add the "Other" option which allows the user to type a value.

Figure 1 Pre defined options

Choices from data tables

For the scenario whereby the dropdown value are pulled from the datatables we create two linked data tables, Province and District, a district belongs to a province, see below in figure 2 the two tables with the values.

Figure 2, Linked tables Province and District

We can now create two linked dropdown questions, one for the Province table and one for the District table, figure 3 below shows how this is done.

Choices from survey results

It is also possible to use survey results from another survey as options for the dropdown question. To do this go the the properties of the dropdown question and select Choices from survey results as shown in figure 4 below. As you can see the dropdown options are from the Farmers survey where we use the Name question for the dropdown values.
