Create a Multiple Choice Image Question

A Multiple Choice Image Question asks participants to select one or more responses from several image-based responses.

To make a Multiple Choice Image Question as engaging and visually appealing as possible, try:

• Keeping question text concise.
• Experimenting with the images and layout used for the response buttons.
• Using a solid background color instead of an image. This can help reduce visual noise and keep the focus on the response images.
• Selecting high-contrast text and button colors.

1. On the Dashboard or the Activities page, click the activity name, and then click Build.
2. Click Add Screen and select Image Question.
   A new Image Question appears in the Activity Content area.
3. In the Screen Rules editor, turn on the Multiple Choice toggle.
   
4. Optional: Edit the screen name.

   In the Activity Content area, click the edit button on the right and type a new name. This name is not visible to participants.

   
5. Select or clear Screen Rules.

   Option	Description
   Auto Advance to Next Screen	When this option is selected, participants automatically advance to the next screen after they provide an answer. They do not have to click a transition and submission button. This option applies to Single Choice questions only. For Multiple Choice questions where participants are making a variable number of selections, there is no way to detect when participants are done unless they signal they are finished by clicking the transition and submission button.
   Share Back Results	Show participants the question results after they provide an answer.
   Randomize Selections	This option randomizes the order in which responses are displayed. Responses are randomized every time the activity is presented to a participant. In reporting, responses are displayed in authored order. You can also select or clear Pin Response. Pinned responses always stay in place according to the authored order while other responses are randomized. If you select this option, select the responses to pin.
   Make Response Optional	By default, question screens require a response. Select this option to allow participants to proceed to the next screen without answering. You can also select or clear Show Skip. When selected, a Skip Question control appears separately from the transition and submission button. Participants can click Skip Question to skip the question, or they can answer the question and then click the transition and submission button. When cleared, only the transition and submission button appears. Participants click the transition and submission button to either skip the question or proceed. Tip: Customize the Skip Question control's text and appearance by clicking it in the preview pane.
   Minimum Selection	Specify the minimum number of responses that participants must choose. If you select this option, use the plus and minus buttons to enter the number.
   Maximum Selection	Specify the maximum number of responses that participants can choose. If you select this option, use the plus and minus buttons to enter the number.
   Set Exclusive Response	Specify a response that, once selected, prevents participants from selecting others. If you select this option, choose the exclusive response.
   Show Prompt Text	Show participants additional prompt text beneath the question text (Select all that apply). You can edit the default text and the appearance of the text element.

    Previewing the activity throughout the building process gives you a rough idea of how questions will display across different screen sizes, and lets you test the overall activity flow. However, the activity's appearance may vary on different devices and mobile browsers. Testing on a real device before publishing and distributing the activity is highly recommended.
