Set the appearance and behavior of Single Choice or Multi Choice Button questions.
Answer order
You can automatically change the answer order in which participants see answers. You can either have the answer displayed in a different, random order each time the question is presented or you can rotate the answers each time the question is presented to a participant.
To randomize or rotate the answers, use the Answer order property. The Answer order property has three options:
- As Authored: all participants see the answers in the order that they were created.
- Randomize: each participant sees a random order of answers.
- Rotate: each time the question is displayed to participants, the answer order is rotated.
