7. In the Properties section, set the question properties.
   • Title: use this property to add a heading that appears instead of the question name in reports. This property is helpful if the question name is vague or cryptic.
   • Required: this option is selected by default, so participants must answer this question. To make the question optional, clear the check box.
   • Translation: this option is selected by default, so the question is included in survey translations. To exclude this question from translations, clear the Translate check box.
   • Position in block: if the question is placed in a randomized or rotated block, use this property to determine if the question remains in a fixed position or is randomized or rotated with other items in the block.
   • Back button: to add a back button to the question, select this option.
8. Click Save.
